About me
I’m Chris — a founder and CTO with over 20 years in tech, and a track record of building and scaling profitable SaaS products from the ground up. Today, I partner with ambitious teams as a fractional CTO and advisor — helping them grow faster, ship more reliably, and avoid costly technical mistakes. Whether it’s AI infrastructure, secure platforms, or developer tooling, I bring clarity, speed, and hands-on leadership where it matters most.
What I’ve built and led
- Founder of a profitable SaaS business (£1M+ ARR)

- Led remote engineering and cross-functional product teams
- Deep experience across architecture, hiring, delivery, and compliance
Who I work with
I work with startups, scaleups, and product-led teams that need senior technical leadership — without the cost or complexity of hiring a full-time CTO. My clients value clarity, technical depth, and pragmatic, real-world execution.
Areas I lead

- Engineering strategy – delivery velocity, cost optimisation, team structure
- Security & resilience – secure development practices, platform hardening, incident response
