01 Software delivery

Complex software delivery

End-to-end software delivery with a senior practitioner across mobile, desktop, cloud, embedded, data, and integrated systems. Engagements can include architecture, implementation, rescue of stalled projects, modernization, technical reviews, release planning, and post-launch support.

iOS and SwiftUI remain a strong delivery capability, but the focus is broader: software that fits the business, the team, and the operating model.

Outcomes

  • A shippable software product or system, not a prototype
  • An architecture your future team can understand and extend
  • Clear release, telemetry and support practices in place
02 Fractional CTO

Fractional CTO

Senior technology leadership on a part-time engagement. For founders who need a credible technical voice in board meetings, hiring loops and investor conversations — without yet justifying a full-time CTO salary.

What it covers

  • Roadmap ownership and quarterly planning
  • Hiring, levelling, and performance frameworks for engineers
  • Architecture and vendor decisions, with written rationale
  • Practical AI adoption: research workflows, software delivery acceleration, product strategy, and agent-based automation
  • Technical due diligence — both sides of the table
  • Board and investor reporting in language they actually want
03 Profitable innovation

Profitable innovation

Innovation programmes fail not because the ideas are bad, but because the economics never get tested. We work with leadership to identify software bets with a realistic path to revenue, kill the ones without, and ship the survivors with the same rigor as core product work.

How we run it

  • Opportunity audit: what's already working, what's hype
  • Hypothesis framing with explicit financial assumptions
  • Tight build-measure-decide loops — weeks, not quarters
  • Clear go / no-go criteria written before the work starts
04 Restructuring

Software-driven company restructuring

When a company has grown past its operating model — too many systems, too many handoffs, technology that no longer fits the business — we help redesign the technical and organisational layers together. The goal is continuity: keeping what works, replacing what doesn't, and making sure the people who know the business are part of the design.

Scope of work

  • Current-state mapping of systems, teams and decision rights
  • Target operating model with named owners and interfaces
  • Migration plan staged by risk, not by org chart
  • Hands-on support through the first cut-overs
How we engage

Three ways to bring us in

A

Discovery & advisory

Short, sharp engagements — typically two to six weeks. We assess the situation, frame the real question, and deliver a recommendation your team can act on. Sold as a fixed scope or by the day.

Best for: leadership teams who need an outside read before committing budget.

B

Fractional CTO / tech lead

An ongoing retainer, usually one to three days per week, embedded with your team. We carry real responsibility for technology decisions, hiring, and delivery without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Best for: scale-ups and mid-sized companies between CTOs, or pre-first-CTO.

C

Restructuring lead

Hands-on engagement to redesign the technical and organisational layers together. Three to nine months, with clear milestones, named owners, and a defined hand-back to your team at the end.

Best for: companies that have outgrown their operating model and need continuity through change.

Rates depend on scope, duration and outcome ownership. We share a clear proposal after the intro call — no surprises, no hourly meter on internal thinking.

Not sure which one fits?

Most engagements start as a 30-minute call to figure out whether the problem is even the one you think it is. Often, that conversation is the most valuable part.
