Fractional product engineering
Without the $180k hire. I embed with seed-to-Series B teams as a fractional partner — owning features end-to-end across architecture, implementation, and UX — so you ship faster without the overhead.

Sound familiar?
This is who I work with best.
Your product works, but the UX is holding sales back. You need someone who codes and cares about the interface — not two separate people who handoff between each other.
You need an IC who can drive features independently — not someone to supervise. But a full-time hire isn’t the right move yet. Fractional is the answer.
Your eng and design loop is slow. Specs go back and forth. Weeks evaporate. You need one person who collapses that gap and just ships.
You have something that works on demo day. Turning it into a scalable, maintainable system is a different problem — and one I solve.
What I bring
I don’t execute tickets. I own features — from system design through shipped UI — and engage with product and stakeholders as a peer, not an order-taker.
Selected work
A few things I’ve shipped.
Rebuilt a fragmented peer-to-peer tool into a scalable multi-user conferencing system with adaptive layouts, screen sharing, and host/guest admission control. Owned product, UX, and full implementation.
Redesigned a fragmented call initiation flow into a 1–2 click experience with conditional after-hours UI. Used as a primary feature in revenue-adjacent sales demos across multiple customer deployments.
Rebuilt a deprecated portal into a flexible configuration system — queue builder, hours-of-operation management, attribute-based routing. Customers configure real-time workflows without developer involvement.
Designed and shipped a production-ready interactive site in under one week using AI-assisted development. Full ownership across design, development, and deployment at ~$30 total build cost.
How it works
I know “fractional engineer” can feel abstract. Here’s exactly what to expect.
Free 30-minute conversation. No pitch — just an honest conversation about where you’re at and whether there’s a fit. You won’t be sold to.
A paid scoping session where I map your product, identify the highest-leverage gaps, and propose what an engagement looks like — scope, pace, and deliverables.
Async-friendly, 10–20 hrs/week. Weekly check-ins. You have a senior engineer embedded in your product team — without the full-time overhead.
