What I'm looking for

Open to remote, part-time or contract engagements as a Fractional CTO / Founding Engineer. Desired rate: $150+/hr. Not open to relocation.

Hands-on founding engineer with 25+ years building software. I take founders and business owners from an idea or a whiteboard to a production product: discovery, architecture, data model, full-stack build, cloud deployment, and ongoing support. I have done this four times as a founding engineer or owner and twice as a co-founder. I build with an AI-enhanced development workflow and ship AI features (document extraction, conversational assistants, automated matching) into real products, with deep experience in lending/fintech and workflow automation. Available for fractional CTO and founding-engineer engagements, part-time or contract.
