About
🚀 Helping SaaS Startups Build, Launch & Scale with Confidence
I’m a Senior Software Engineer turned full-time freelancer, now working as a Fractional CTO for early-stage SaaS startups. I also step in as a Tech Consultant or Backend Developer when rapid execution is needed.
Most founders face the same struggles:
Uncertainty around tech decisions.
Under-development (too few features to test) or over-development (bloated MVP nobody uses).
Fragile tech that breaks when first users arrive.
Giving away too much equity or spending too much money just to get technical support.
That’s where I come in.
As a Fractional CTO, I act like the senior technical cofounder you don’t have yet—guiding product decisions, building scalable backends, and helping you focus on what truly matters.
Here’s how I help founders:
If you have an idea → I’ll build your MVP fast, lean, and reliable. Once you raise funding, I’ll help you build your team as a Fractional CTO and scale things from 0→1 and 1→10, until you feel ready for a full-time CTO.
If you already have an MVP → I’ll strengthen your product, fix fragile tech, and help you scale in the same fashion.
🔧 What I do best
Tech strategy & product guidance as a Fractional CTO – guiding founders on what to build, what to skip, and how to scale efficiently.
AI/ML & LLM-powered SaaS features – adding intelligent capabilities that differentiate your product in the market.
Scalable backend systems & architecture – robust foundations for growth without fragility.
MVP development (Python, Django, FastAPI, Flask) – fast, lean, reliable products that validate ideas.
API design, integrations & microservices – smooth connections to third-party tools and internal modules.
Think of me as your trusted technical partner—someone who balances speed with scale, avoids costly mistakes, and helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.
