Your fintech backend will break after PMF.
I make sure it doesn't.
I've built and operated real-money systems — KYC, compliance, transaction flows — not prototypes.
Systems I've built have handled $5M+ in investor transactions across regulated markets.
Teams that skip this burn months rebuilding what should have been designed correctly the first time.
I work with a limited number of teams at a time.

Why Me
I ran the entire tech org at a fintech startup — $5M+ in investor transactions, KYC automation, SOC 2 compliance, M&A due diligence. Before that, I migrated legacy systems at Verizon, cut AWS costs in half at Athenahealth, and built backend infra at a YC company. I know exactly what breaks at scale because I've fixed it.
This isn't staff augmentation. I work with founders handling real money, real compliance, and real scaling problems. If you need someone who's already done this — not someone figuring it out on your budget — that's what I do.
How I Work
Architecture Audit
I review your system for the things that will cost you later — scaling bottlenecks, infra waste, compliance gaps, and architecture decisions that won't survive your next funding round.
Fractional CTO
I own your architecture decisions, lead your engineering direction, and make sure every system you ship can handle 10x the load you planned for. Your team, my accountability.

Tech Stack
Your architecture is either an asset or a liability.
If you're raising, scaling, or heading into compliance — every week you wait costs more than the review itself.
