About fractional CTO
Short answers to what people usually ask first.
Will you write code?
I can review, prototype or implement where it helps. We agree how much development belongs in the engagement so leadership and build commitments stay realistic.
What happens in the first stage?
I learn the business and team context, identify the decisions needing an owner and agree an initial plan with you. Its scope and cadence depend on the organisation's needs.
