FRACTIONAL CTO

The Geek Who Can Speak

Fractional CTO for growing businesses that need senior tech leadership without the jargon or the full-time salary.

Wondering how AI will shake up your business?
Feeling overwhelmed by tech?

I work as an extension of your team, a trusted guide who can keep your business ahead of the curve.
‍
‍I stepped out of running a software company and into life as a Fractional CTO. I get a buzz out of translating the complex world of technology into clear, practical steps that help business owners stay lean, innovative, and confident.

With 25+ years as a software architect and CTO, I’ve seen just about every challenge under the sun: finance, education, professional services, trades, you name it. My job is to understand your business quickly, cut through the noise, and find smart ways to make you better than your competitors.

Some kind words from people I have worked with

The review he performed and the changes he put in place will really help us going forward.

As an innovative business doing what no one else has, his guidance on tech strategy and innovation was invaluable. A steady hand in uncharted waters.

Daniel has been with us from our inception. As our technology partner he enabled us to progress from an idea through to a full solution with multiple government clients.

He developed our patented photo-analysis technology and built apps and web systems that surpassed expectations.

His ability to communicate technical ideas to our team has been of huge benefit.
Chan Dickson

He is able to communicate technology topics so they are relevant, easily understood and enjoyed by all attendees -no matter what their industry or area of expertise.

It was great to have Daniel present “the future of Voice technology” at our event.

The content was spot-on for our audience and was presented in an engaging way that I am sure has inspired participants to delve deeper into the topic.
