Why Your Business Doesn't Need a Software Team
The traditional model of hiring developers is broken for most growth-stage companies. Here's what to do instead.
I combine 20+ years as a founder, COO, CFO and CTO with AI to build the platforms, dashboards, and automations your business actually needs — without the massive budgets, bloated teams, or months of waiting.

I've spent 20+ years leading technology companies — as a CEO who built a $12M business from scratch (Inc 500, multiple years), as COO & CFO scaling a SaaS company to 50%+ growth, and as CIO driving operational transformation across 150-person organizations.
