Hire Me

I help teams turn ambiguous ideas into shipped products - fast, and without costly mistakes.

I work with founders and teams who need senior product + engineering judgement at critical moments: early builds, pivots, and when working with frontier tech.

What I help with

Zero-to-one product work

  • Clarifying what to build (and what not to)
  • Product strategy, scope definition, and technical architecture
  • Shipping credible v1s quickly without painting yourself into a corner

Fractional CTO

  • Shipping and validating MVPs in days, not weeks
  • Setting technical direction and scaling foundations
  • AI-first systems where they actually create value
  • Hiring and screening engineers

Why me

  • Proven founder with a solo exit (built, shipped, monetised to $25k MRR)
  • Senior engineer background across startups, scale-ups, and big tech
  • Product leadership experience as PM and CEO
  • Real hands-on expertise implementing AI/LLMs at scale

I've found that I can help the most when working with pre-PMF teams where the problem and solution are both fuzzy
