Fractional CTO and senior AI/cloud architect for fintech
I help founders and existing CTOs ship production AI systems — architecture audits, fractional technical leadership, hands-on builds. Remote, worldwide.
Fractional CTO / technical leadership
You are hiring for a senior technical leader but do not want, or cannot yet justify, a full-time CTO. I own architecture and delivery decisions alongside your team.
Senior AI/cloud architecture, pair to your CTO
You already have a CTO or tech lead and need the AI and cloud layer owned properly, with decisions and evidence that survive review by regulators, auditors and enterprise buyers.
Background: 3 years at UBS Zurich as Solution Architect on banking AI, plus fintech, big tech, and enterprise consulting engagements.
