    As a Fractional CTO, I help e-commerce and subscription-based businesses scale by aligning their technology strategy with their commercial goals. Many growing brands reach a point where their technology stack holds them back due to inefficient workflows or an e-commerce platform that’s no longer fit for purpose. My role is to ensure businesses have the right digital foundations to grow sustainably.

    I work with startups, high-growth brands, and established businesses, guiding them through critical technology decisions, re-platforming major e-commerce sites, integrating complex systems, and improving overall digital efficiency. Whether I’m advising leadership teams, mentoring in-house developers, or leading digital transformation projects, my goal is to make technology work for the business.
