Fractional CTO | AI, Cloud & Platform Transformation

About Me

Fractional CTO and technology executive with 12+ years building, scaling, and modernizing products and engineering organizations across B2B SaaS, marketplaces, AI-native platforms, and humanitarian fintech. I combine executive technology strategy with hands-on architecture across TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python, AWS, serverless, Kubernetes, data/BI, Salesforce integrations, and applied AI. I have built organizations from zero to 37 people, led €10.4M in successful technical fundraising, delivered KPMG technical due diligence without remediation, and shipped platforms serving global, multi-country operations. I help companies turn complex transformations into secure, scalable systems and measurable business outcomes.
