What I'm hired for
Companies call me when the platform still works but can't keep up, when an acquisition depends on a technical story nobody has verified, or when the board wants AI and the security team is saying no. The common thread is judgment under real constraints — regulatory, commercial, and human.
Ways to work together
Technical due diligence for acquirers
Platform assessment, tech-debt quantification, and integration risk before you close.
Fractional / interim CTO
Senior technical leadership for PE portfolio companies and teams between CTOs.
AI adoption and governance for regulated companies
Identity, isolation, audit, and approval — AI that survives a compliance review.
Legacy modernization assessment
What to keep, rebuild, or retire, and in what order the business can absorb it.
AI-generated codebase rescue
Structure, tests, and boundaries for a codebase a coding agent shipped fast.
