Practical notes from fractional CTO engagements — what’s working, what isn’t, and the trade-offs behind real architectural decisions. Topics cluster around four areas: fractional CTO engagement shapes, technical due diligence for M&A and investment, cloud-native architecture and DevOps, and AI strategy for SMB and growth-stage products.
Posts here are written for technology decision-makers (founders, CFOs, fractional CFOs, acquirers, lead investors) and the senior engineers who’ll execute.
