About NBTEQ

Hands-on CTO and AI leader. I lead technology and AI for product companies and still build the critical parts myself.

I work with founders, investors, and engineering leaders as a fractional CTO, technical advisor, or AI lead. My work sits where strategy meets execution: I set the technology direction, design the systems, make the hard decisions, and then implement the parts that matter most. Available for fractional CTO and technical advisory roles, AI strategy and architecture, and technical due diligence.

What I Do

• Fractional CTO: technology strategy, roadmap, architecture, hiring, vendors, and board-level reporting for founders who need the function owned
• AI Strategy & Architecture: AI strategy, model and provider selection, LLM, RAG, and agent architecture, and delivery from PoC to production
• Technical Due Diligence & Architecture Review: an independent, senior read of product, architecture, team, and delivery for founders, investors, and boards
• Platform Architecture & Modernization: target architecture and migration leadership for systems that have outgrown their first design
• Technical Advisor: a senior, independent voice for founders and boards on architecture, roadmap, hiring, vendors, and the technology story for investors
• Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps: scalable, secure, automated setups (AWS, GCP, Terraform)

Who I Work With

• Founders and CEOs who need a technical partner at co-founder level to own technology, without a full-time executive hire yet
• Investors and boards who need an independent answer to whether a company's technology is an asset or a liability
• CTOs and VPs of Engineering who need a peer to own an AI initiative or platform architecture end to end
• Scale-ups whose platform, team, or AI ambitions have outgrown the original architecture

If you are facing technical uncertainty, a leadership gap, or an AI bet you cannot afford to get wrong, I can help.
