Fractional CTO

Engineering leadership when your delivery can't fail.

I work with CEOs and boards facing at-risk programs, leadership gaps, or AI spend that isn't paying off. CIOs and CTOs bring me in as a peer.

The results clients hire me for

Stalled programs delivered

At BP I took over Well Advisor, a $128M program that was failing to deliver. Six months on a single North Sea rig paid back its full cost; by the end, it ran on every offshore rig and many onshore ones. I take on turnarounds like that directly, or as your part-time engineering executive.

AI that works in production

I led the AI and application development practice at Alchemy Technology Group. I design agentic systems, get teams using AI-assisted development, and repair AI-generated code that failed in production.

Leadership leveled up

​

The leadership program I designed at JPMorgan ran for three years and became central to the firm's technology leadership pipeline. I bring that program to engineering teams, and I advise CIOs and CTOs one on one.
