Fractional CTO

Thomas Weld

I have spent over a decade building software for Fortune 100 companies including Capital One, Home Depot, and Pluto TV. I have led engineering teams, managed migrations of millions of customers, contributed to a 21% revenue increase on one of the largest ecommerce checkouts in the US, and built AI-powered products from the ground up.

Now I work directly with small businesses and startups that need that same level of engineering leadership without a full-time executive hire.

What a fractional CTO does for you

The technical leadership your company needs without the $200K salary.

System Architecture
Design scalable, secure, and maintainable systems from day one. Avoid expensive rewrites when you start getting traction.
Team Leadership
Manage your engineering team, run agile sprints, mentor junior developers, and establish code quality standards.
Tech Stack Selection
Choose the right tools for your specific business needs, not just whatever framework is currently trending on Twitter.
Vendor Management
Evaluate third-party tools, manage offshore agencies, and ensure you're getting what you pay for from external technical partners.

Who this is for

You are building something real and you need technical leadership now, not in six months when you can afford a full hire.

Non-Technical Founders
You have industry expertise and a vision, but need a technical partner to turn it into software.
Bootstrapped Startups
You have revenue but cannot justify burning $200K+ a year on a full-time executive hire just yet.
Agencies & Dev Shops
You need senior oversight on complex client projects to ensure they are delivered correctly and on time.
Companies Scaling Up
Your MVP is starting to break under load and you need experienced architecture guidance to scale.

You do not have to figure out the tech alone.
