Fractional CTO · Abu Dhabi

I’ve built for millions. Now, let’s build yours.

A fractional CTO is a senior technology lead who works with you part-time.

Starting from scratch, or running a product that’s already live? I help founders decide what to build, get it built or back on track, and lead the technical side as it grows. You work directly with me.

Getting riders to orders faster

At a food-delivery company that later went public, rebuilt the system that assigns riders to orders across 200K+ riders.

Sports & events · co-founder · 2019–21

I’ve been the founder too

Co-founded a sports and events booking app and built all of it, used at 50+ GCC venues. It didn’t scale, and that taught me what I now help founders avoid.

Ways to work together

Start where you are.

01 · Plan

Find the right next step.

Turn a broad idea, or a product that feels stuck, into a plan you can act on.

  • What to build first, and what can wait
  • An honest review of what you already have
  • The risks to watch, a timeline, and a price range

02 · Build

Build it new, or take it over.

A focused first version built from scratch, or a live product taken over and made reliable.

  • New web apps, portals and internal tools
  • Taking over from an agency or a developer who left
  • Payments, bookings, and the tools you already use
  • Launch, handover, and a path forward

03 · Lead

A CTO in your corner.

Part-time technical leadership for the decisions, the team, and what comes next.

  • What to build next, and how
  • Keeping developers and agencies on track
  • Fewer outages and faster releases
  • Hiring and growing your technical team

Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call. I’ll give you a clear price range once I understand what you need.

A few good questions

Before we start.

Do I need a technical background?

No. Bring the problem, your business, and your ambition. I’ll turn them into decisions you can understand, and explain every trade-off in plain language.

I already have a product. Can you take it over?

Yes. I start with a short review of the product, the code, and how it’s run, then tell you plainly what’s solid, what’s risky, and what to fix first. From there I can lead your existing team, work alongside your agency, or take over the build.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what you need. After our first call, I’ll send you a clear range for the plan, the build, or ongoing support.

How fast can we launch?

It depends on how much needs to be built or fixed, and which other tools it connects to. We agree on a focused scope and a realistic timeline before any work starts.

Can you stay involved after launch?

Yes. I can stay on as your part-time CTO, keep improving the product, or hand it over to your own team.

Can we meet in person?

Yes. I’m based in Abu Dhabi and happy to meet anywhere in the UAE.

Your next step

Let’s make something real.

A new idea. A stuck product. A technical decision. Bring whatever is on your mind.

30 minutes, free. Bring the idea or the problem.
