Fractional CTO for Startups & SMEs

Get experienced technical leadership without the full-time commitment. From idea to MVP to scale, I help founders in the UAE (and worldwide) build, scale, and stabilise their technology with clarity, speed, and leadership.

How I Can Help

Three proven ways to accelerate your product development and engineering excellence

MVP in 30–60 days

Launch your product fast with a battle-tested development process. I'll help you define scope, choose the right tech stack, and ship a working product that validates your market fit. From idea to launch-ready product. I scope, architect, and lead development so you can focus on customers, fundraising, and growth.

  • Product discovery & scope
  • Architecture & tech stack selection
  • Hire or manage developers
  • Delivery of a stable, launch-ready MVP

Technical audits & recovery projects

If your platform is slow, unstable, or stuck with an agency or team, I can step in to review, diagnose, and put you back on track.

  • Codebase, infra, and security review
  • Performance & reliability improvements
  • Re-architecture where needed
  • Ongoing support or hand-off plan

Why Work With Me

I’ve spent nearly two decades building software and teams across industries, company stages, and regions. I bring that experience directly into your company from day one.

Hands-On Technical Leadership

I don't just strategize – I roll up my sleeves and code alongside your team. You get both strategic direction and tactical execution.

Speed Without Sacrificing Quality

I've built MVPs that scaled to millions of users. I know which shortcuts are smart and which ones will haunt you later.

Cost-Effective Expertise

Get senior-level technical leadership without the $250k+ salary. Flexible engagement models that fit your budget and needs.

Clear Communication

I translate technical complexity into clear business language. Your stakeholders will always understand what's happening and why.

Team Empowerment

I build teams, not dependencies. Your developers will grow under my mentorship and continue succeeding after our engagement ends.

Modern Tech Stack Expertise

Deep experience with cloud infrastructure, modern frameworks, CI/CD, and the tools that power today's best products.
