Sound familiar?
These are the sentences I hear most often on a first call. If one of them is yours, you're in the right place.
My agency says everything is fine, but I can't verify it.
You're paying for trust you can't check. I read the work, not the status report, and tell you plainly what's true.
Investors asked technical questions I couldn't answer.
We build your answers together, in your words, backed by evidence. You walk into the next meeting calm.
I don't know if AI is hype or something I should actually use.
Usually two or three jobs in your business are worth automating. The rest is noise. I help you tell them apart.
Development is slow and I don't know why.
Slow is a symptom. In two weeks you'll know the cause, the cost of it, and the three changes that fix most of it.
Three ways I help
Pick the one that matches where you are. Not sure? The free audit tells us both.
Startup Technical Advisor
Outcome: you raise your round without the tech becoming the reason it stalls.
An independent review of what you've built, translated into a story investors trust — and a short list of what to fix before they look.
- Honest second opinion on your product and team
- Investor-ready answers to the hard questions
- Risks named early, while they're still cheap
AI Process Engineering
Outcome: fewer hours spent on repetitive work, with numbers you can show your board.
You already know where the hours go. I turn those bottlenecks into working automations — and prove the result in saved time and money. No experiments for their own sake.
- Start with the work, not the tools
- Cost and time saved, tracked monthly
- Your team trained to run it without me
Fractional CTO
Outcome: you ship faster and stop overpaying developers — without a full-time hire.
Senior technical leadership a few days a month. I sit on your side of the table: hiring, agencies and vendors, the roadmap, and what it all costs.
- Hire the right people, at the right time
- Hold vendors to what they promised
- A roadmap your whole team understands
All prices in EUR, excluding VAT. Scope and price are agreed in writing before anything starts — no open-ended invoices.
How it works
Three steps. You can stop after the second one and still be better off.
A free audit call
45 minutes. You tell me what worries you. I ask the questions your investors will ask. Nothing to prepare.
A written assessment
A short document in plain English: what's healthy, what's risky, and what to do first, second and third. Yours to keep.
We work together — or we don't
Ongoing support, a one-off project, or you take the plan to your own team. All three are fine by me.
The audit is free — and useful even if we never work together.
