Founder of a stealth fintech startup post-seed round
Fractional CTO & Launch Team — From Concept to MVP in 8 Weeks
The Challenge: An AI-focused fintech startup had just raised their Seed round but had no technical leadership. They needed to build a secure, SOC2-ready platform before their runway evaporated.
The Solution: Deployed a 'Pod' consisting of a Fractional CTO, two senior full-stack devs, and a DevOps specialist. We handled everything from architecture design to the first five customer onboardings.
Timeline: Architecture & Security Audit → Core Engine Build (Rust/Go) → Beta Launch (Early Adopters) → Internal Team Handoff

VP of Engineering at a public SaaS company
Legacy Rescue Pod — Modernized core monolith in 120 days
The Challenge: A public SaaS company's billing engine was failing during peak load, causing $200k/month in lost revenue. Their internal team was too busy with features to fix the core.
The Solution: Embedded a 3-person 'Elite Pod' to refactor the billing microservices, implement distributed locking, and migrate to a high-availability database cluster without a single minute of downtime.
Timeline: Stress Testing & Profiling → Database Migration → Concurrency Fixes → Load Capacity: 10x

Engineering Director at a media giant
Rapid Product Launch — Launched video social app for 1M+ users
The Challenge: A media giant needed to launch a viral-ready video app to coincide with a major sporting event. They had the design but lacked the engineers to build the real-time backend.
The Solution: Deployed a team of 6 senior engineers specializing in real-time streaming and high-concurrency Node.js backends. Built and launched the entire platform in just 90 days.
Timeline: Streaming Arch Setup → Mobile App Development → Load Testing (2M Concurrent) → Global App Store Launch
