CTOasaServicetosteeryourtechnicalstrategy

Senior technical leadership on demand—without hiring a C-level executive too early. I decide stack, budget, vendors, and hiring, with written deliverables and a fee set in the quote.

  • 10+ years of experience

    Over ten years of full-stack engineering shipped to production for startups and product teams — marketing sites, e-commerce, business apps, and API integrations.

  • Professional guarantees

    Professional liability insurance covering the assignment and deliverables. Certificate included with the quote — a secure, transparent framework for working with your business.

  • Perpignan & remote

    On-site around Perpignan and across Pyrénées-Orientales (66). Remote engagements across France and internationally — same scoping, follow-up, and delivery standards.

Three CTO as a Service models

The market uses three clear formats. I align with them—not open-ended hourly billing that grows without visibility.

  • Diagnostic — short mission to de-risk the relationship and ship an actionable plan.
  • Advisory — a few days per month: roadmap, trade-offs, leadership reporting.
  • Fractional embedded — half to two days/week inside the team rhythm.

Defined deliverables, not “on call”

Good CTaaS lists what is in/out. Page deliverables (roadmap, ADRs, hiring, sign-off) are the baseline; I adapt them to your stage.

  • Architecture reviews and written decisions.
  • Candidate interviews / vendor challenge.
  • Board or leadership summary—not only tickets.

My take

“Being reachable” is not a deliverable. Value is decisions and artifacts the team can reuse.

How a CTaaS engagement runs

From diagnostic to steering—90-day plan, leadership reporting, and quarterly review.

  1. Intro call

    Stage, team, main pain (debt, hiring, vendor, fundraise). Recommendation: diagnostic vs retainer—with no obligation.
