ABOUT

Derisk, Unclog, and Scale Your Business

Did you know that 50% of a software project's budget is often spent on rectifying errors post-implementation? Optimizing for quality will save you time and money.

As a fractional CTO, I help bridge the gap between business and technology — bringing architectural clarity, hiring strategy, and product leadership to help mission-driven teams scale deployments without breaking their systems (or their contracts).

We Know the Challenges of Software Delivery

More agile methodologies were supposed to improve software project delivery outcomes, but recently, unsuccessful software projects totaled $260B of losses in a single year.

Reasons for these failures are clear:

  • 39%: poor requirements gathering

  • 57%: inadequate planning and lack of communication

  • 32%: scope creep, unclear objectives and outcomes

  • 37%: lack of partnership with the business

Proper leadership of technical teams and alignment with the business help drive the possibilities of these failures down to nothing.
