Engineering leadership without the full-time hire.
Fractional CTO, technology strategy, architecture reviews and technical oversight — architecture and direction for teams and founders who need it more than they need another code commit.
The hardest technical decisions are the ones nobody owns.
The architecture nobody reviews, the scaling problem postponed 'for now', the stack decision made by whoever's loudest. Small teams live this constantly — they can afford a senior engineer, but a full-time CTO or architect is out of reach. So the decisions drift.
A technical leader on your side of the table.
A monthly relationship: architecture, prioritization, technical risk and hiring guidance. From KSh 50,000/month.
What to build, what to buy, what to defer — a roadmap you can actually fund.
A senior pass over your codebase, infrastructure and delivery process with written findings.
Technical oversight, standards, and the senior point of view for founding teams.
Decisions taken with documented reasoning — so they survive new hires and audits.
How the engagement works
The technical questions only make sense against the business ones: revenue, stage, risk, team.
Architecture, codebase, infrastructure, delivery process — a senior assessment, written down.
A prioritized technical agenda: what to fix, what to ship, what to stop.
Regular calls, reviews, and an escalation path for the decisions the team shouldn't make alone.
Technical metrics tied to business outcomes — stability, delivery speed, cost — reviewed each month.

Questions people ask.
A senior technical leader engaged part-time — typically a monthly relationship for architecture, strategy, prioritization and oversight, instead of a full-time executive salary. From KSh 50,000/month.
If the engineers are executing well but the direction, architecture and priorities are drifting, the gap is leadership, not hands. That's the engagement.
No — organisations building technology in any form benefit: a product team, a school or business building internal systems, a founder with a technical co-founder gap.
Yes. Most relationships start with a review — you get concrete written findings, and we decide together whether ongoing engagement is worth it.
The most expensive technical work is the work you build twice.
A senior review before the rewrite, the scale-up or the big feature is cheaper than the wrong version of all three.
