Fractional Technical Leadership
Get an experienced technical lead on your side, part time, without hiring one full time, whether your software is built by your own developers or an outside vendor. I help set priorities, catch technical problems early, and keep important work moving, so your software stays easier to change and maintain as it grows.
What I can help with
- ▸ Turning business goals into a clear, prioritized plan for your software
- ▸ Reviewing proposed solutions and work in progress while changes are easier to make
- ▸ Guiding and mentoring your developers, or independently checking your vendor’s work
- ▸ Understanding what’s delaying projects and getting them moving again
- ▸ Explaining progress, risks, and tradeoffs in plain language
A good fit when
- ✓ You don’t have a technical lead, and a full-time hire doesn’t make sense yet
- ✓ There’s no clear direction for what to build or fix next, so priorities keep shifting
- ✓ Important technical choices get made without enough research, and lead to costly rework
- ✓ You’re paying developers or a vendor, but can’t judge whether the software is being built well
- ✓ Delivery dates keep slipping, and it’s hard to tell why
How it usually works
It starts with a review of your software, your team or vendors, and current priorities. From there, we agree on a practical level of involvement. That may include planning sessions, reviews of the work being done, help with key decisions, and hands-on work where it helps most. We revisit priorities as your needs change.
