Hard Tech Founders

Move Fast. Stay Focused.

Hard tech founders face intense pressure to innovate quickly, often juggling countless priorities with limited resources. Rigid processes weigh startups down when they need to move fast and stay agile.

At the same time, startups lose valuable time figuring out what works, building new technical skills, and forming effective team routines. That’s where I come in. I provide practical guidance on best practices and streamlined processes that bring order without slowing momentum.

With hands-on technical leadership, I help ensure product design stays true to the founder’s vision while enabling engineering teams to focus on making the product work rather than figuring out how to work.

Technology Manufacturers

Accelerate Your Product’s Success

Every delayed deadline or defect risks your reputation and revenue. Unexpected quality issues, growing software complexity, and relentless deadlines create persistent challenges. Engineering teams are often pulled in different directions, balancing demands for new features with the need to follow staged development processes. Having been there myself, I understand how difficult it is to keep products reliable and on schedule without burning out your team, losing control, or exposing the project to unnecessary risks. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

I work side by side with technical leaders to bring practical solutions that make a measurable difference. Whether acting as your Fractional CTO to provide steady, hands-on leadership, leading design reviews to catch problems early, refining customer proposals to align expectations, or helping clarify requirements, tighten processes, and mitigate risks, my goal is to reduce costly defects, prevent delays, and improve cross-team collaboration. Together, we build better products faster by cutting rework, smoothing delivery, and freeing your team to focus on innovation without added bureaucracy.
