Fractional CTO B2B SaaS · Seed · 6 months

Series A readiness — without a full-time CTO

Situation

A growing SaaS startup with two junior developers, a fragmented architecture, and no technical roadmap to present to investors in 6 months. The founding team was forced to make technical decisions alone, which was limiting both development velocity and product quality.

Approach

A comprehensive technical audit was conducted in the first 30 days: architecture, technical debt, and security gaps were documented. A 90-day roadmap followed. Two senior developer hires were managed, an investor-ready technical strategy document was prepared, and the team was guided through weekly technical leadership sessions.

Technical Consulting E-commerce · SME · 3 months

Fixing a system that crashed every campaign

Situation

A 5-year-old e-commerce company experienced system outages every peak campaign period. A Black Friday incident with cancelled orders caused significant revenue loss and damaged brand trust. A single large monolith was slowing both development and the system itself.

Approach

The entire codebase was reviewed; bottlenecks and critical performance issues were identified. Database index optimisation and a caching layer were deployed immediately. A service-based decomposition roadmap was then prepared, and a CI/CD pipeline was set up to automate deployment processes.

Product Development Fintech · Pre-seed · 10 weeks

To market in 10 weeks

Situation

A founder building B2B payment infrastructure had a strong product vision and a small pre-seed budget — but zero technical team and a 3-month runway. The right architectural and team decisions had to be made from day one.

Approach

Week one was spent clarifying product scope and defining what would stay out of the MVP. A scalable but appropriately lean architecture was designed. A team of two experienced freelance developers was assembled, sprint rhythm and code standards were established, and technical decision-making was managed throughout.

Team Building Health Tech · Series A · 4 months

8 engineers in 4 months — and an engineering culture

Situation

A healthtech startup that had just closed its Series A needed to scale its 3-person engineering team rapidly. There were no documented standards, code quality was inconsistent, and there was no onboarding infrastructure to welcome new hires. Chaotic growth was also threatening the motivation of the existing team.

Approach

Engineering standards and a code review process were documented first. A technical evaluation framework was created for each role. A 30-day onboarding programme was designed. Technical interviews were conducted throughout the hiring process, and new hire adaptation was tracked through their first 90 days.
