Why Fractional with me — and not the alternatives?

Four honest comparisons.

vs Full-time hire

Judgement without the burn rate

A senior technical hire is 5 days a week plus equity plus recruiter fees. I’m 1–2 days, retained monthly, in the room by Thursday.

~10% of the commitment
vs Dev shop / body-shop

Senior hands, not scaled juniors

Dev shops bill senior rates for junior output. My hours are my hours — the CTO does the review, not a project manager.

Same person start to finish
vs Big Consulting

Decisions, not 60-page decks

No sign-off delays, no change-request theatre. I show up, I make the call with you, and I’m accountable to the outcome — not the billable hour.

vs Freelance contractor

Strategy and the hands

A contractor ships code. I set the direction, write the roadmap, defend it to your board — and I can still push the merge button.
