fractional CTO for non-technical founders

You run the business. I own the technology behind it.

I'm the senior technical partner for non-technical founders whose company runs on a coded app, whether an agency built it, a freelancer left it or AI tools like Cursor and Lovable generated it. I take over architecture, releases, data, security and infrastructure, so the tech stops depending on you.

Founders I've partnered with

AiudApp

From a fleet tracking portal to a full technical partnership

Andres came to me for a fleet tracking portal that ran on Tookan. I rebuilt it as a custom Next.js portal, which cut costs by about 80%. It took six months, because the business kept running and an enterprise client kept changing the requirements. Then we built a tracking app for his customers, updated the Flutter app the drivers use, cutting backend requests per active user-hour from 192.3 to 81.8, replaced paid Google routing with our own Valhalla server and built an API gateway so enterprise clients connect with their own keys. It now handles about 60,000 tasks a month, and I became a partner in the business.

≈60,000 tasks / month
≈80% lower costs
−57.5% requests / user-hour
Tookan → Next.js

“I really hope my competitors don’t find out about you lol.”

Served

The home of hospitality

Bobbie had the vision for a hospitality hiring platform, and I built the technology: a ground-up rebuild of the original Bubble app as its own Next.js application. Workers get free profiles, privately shared resumes, search by station, pay and shift, and one-tap applications. Venues pay one flat subscription to post roles, scout talent, shortlist and send interview invites, with no placement fees.

Bubble → Next.js + Supabase
Stripe subscriptions
web + mobile

“You ran with my idea and made it secure, you saved me money, you made me feel confident in what we’re doing.”

SSM Connect

The Romanian safety file, digital and signed

Mihai wanted to simplify Romania's occupational health and safety (SSM) paperwork: the training records, instructions and signatures every employer has to keep. I built the platform. An organization sets up its employees and hierarchy once, picks an approved template, and the app generates the documents, works out who has to sign from the reporting lines, collects electronic signatures in order and files the result. Mihai runs operations, Mișu brings the SSM expertise, I own the technology.

Nuvra

An AI marketing department for hospitality venues

Paul wanted to help venue owners and managers keep Instagram and Facebook stocked with good, truthful posts without becoming marketers or hiring an agency. With Petre, my developer, I took it from a research brief to a working product: a venue brain that learns the business, a weekly pulse, precise capture requests for the staff, posts composed by AI around the venue's real photos, explicit approval and scheduled publishing. Mobile-first, Romanian first.

How we work together

No working app yet? Build comes first. App already live? Own starts straight away. Most founders do both, in that order.

plan one · no working app yet

Build

$4,000

fixed · about 4 weeks

I build or finish your app from a one-page scope, in your own accounts, and hand it over with everything in your name. Half to start, half when it is live.

See Build

plan two · the app is live

Own

$2,500

a month · three-month minimum

I own the technology behind your app: releases, security, hosting, data and fixes, with one improvement always in progress. You never think about it again.
