FRACTIONAL CTO · AI-BUILT SAAS · 10+ YEARS IN PRODUCTION

AI built your SaaS. I keep it standing while you sell.

You built a B2B SaaS with Cursor, Claude, or Lovable. It works — until it doesn’t. I step in as your fractional CTO: stabilize the architecture you already have, own the technical roadmap, and manage execution so your calendar stays free for sales. No rewrite. No equity.

01 · THE FOCUS DRAIN

Where AI-built SaaS breaks.

I read AI-generated codebases every week. The same five problems eat the founder’s calendar.

It falls over at real load

Works for 10 accounts, dies at 50. N+1 queries, zero caching, one slow endpoint locking everything.

Security was never configured

Supabase RLS wide open, service keys shipped to the browser, auth that trusts the client.

You can't see the errors

No logging, no monitoring. Every bug arrives as an angry customer email.

The schema fights every feature

Each new request ships slower than the last, because the data model was generated, not designed.

You became the support engineer

Nights in the code, days apologizing. The selling stopped.

02 · HOW IT WORKS

No rewrite. Stabilize, then ship.

01

Audit

Fixed scope, ten days. I read your actual code — not a call, the code. You get a written report: what’s fragile, what’s exploitable, what will fail under load, and a 90-day roadmap. Yours to keep, whoever you hire next.

02

Stabilize

I fix the critical list myself: auth and RLS, API and webhook reliability, rate limits and abuse vectors, query performance. Your app keeps serving customers the whole time.

03

Roadmap & execution

I own the technical roadmap and manage execution — writing code, reviewing PRs, directing senior engineers — so you can spend 90 days talking to customers instead of the codebase.

Fee is fixed and quoted on the call, after I’ve seen the codebase.

03 · WHO THIS IS FOR

Built for founders at one specific stage.

Worth a call if

  • B2B SaaS doing $50k–$500k ARR
  • 30–200 paying accounts
  • Hired or about to hire a first salesperson
  • Stack is Next.js, Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, or OpenAI

Not the right fit if

  • No paying customers yet
  • Want a full rewrite
  • Crypto or Web3
  • Shopping for AI strategy
04 · WHY NOT THE ALTERNATIVES

Agencies rewrite. CTOs cost equity. Developers need managing. I do none of those.

An agency will quote you a three-month rewrite and hand you the same problems in a new framework. You lose six months of momentum and still own a codebase you can’t run alone.

A full-time CTO runs $180k plus equity. That’s a bet most early-stage founders can’t make without a Series A in hand.

A developer hire solves one layer down — you still have no one owning the architecture, no one setting direction, and no one to talk you out of the bad ideas at 2 a.m.

I have ten-plus years of production experience before AI existed, and I build new things with Cursor and Claude Code every week. I know where the code breaks because I read it — and I stay to fix what I find.

05 · PROOF

Production systems I’ve stabilized and shipped.

Client platforms taken from AI-built or founder-built prototypes to production, and products of my own. Every card links to a live site or a walkthrough.

Ten years of mobile and web, before AI.

Production work across Cabify, Wonolo, LiveOne, Paltalk, JETSWEAT, iFoodDS, and others — iOS, Android, and web at scale before AI tools existed.
