One to three days a week, from three months
Fractional AI transformation lead
Most teams already use AI, but the results vary from person to person. I work inside your team to improve how it builds, reviews, tests, and releases software, make AI part of that, and put in place what agents need to do real work with minimal hand-holding. The aim is a team that can carry on without me.
Talk about your teamWhat I do
- Fix the delivery basics first: flow, testing, deployment, and clear ownership
- Coach your engineering leaders and teams through the change
- Set the workflows, standards, and guardrails for AI-assisted development, including what data the tools can see
- Build the foundations agents need: clear specifications, tests, review, and safe ways to ship
- Reshape teams and roles where the old shape no longer fits
- Set goals, track outcomes, and report them plainly to you and your board
- Help you hire a permanent leader when the time comes
How it works
- Term: three months to start, with two to four agreed outcomes; month to month after that
- Commitment: one to three days a week, agreed up front
- Notice: 30 days either way
- By agreement: managing people, leading hiring, owning delivery of a specific project, or hands-on build work
- Not included: on-call, incident response, or running production systems
Also available as a fractional CTO, for wider technology leadership on the same terms.
How the change sticks
See it honestly
Measure how work flows today, who uses AI well, and where it gets in the way.
Prove it in one team
Change the workflow end to end in one team, on real work, before asking everyone to follow.
Set the standards
Turn what worked into shared practice: review, testing, guardrails, and what's safe to ship.
Spread it and keep improving
Roll it out team by team, set goals and track outcomes, and help your managers lead the work themselves.
Other ways to work together
Typically two to four weeks
AI engineering assessment
An honest read of your delivery foundations and where your team really is with AI, including risk, security, and data privacy, with a 90-day plan for what to change first.
Typically one to two weeks
Technology decision review
An independent look at one decision, such as an AI platform or vendor, a rebuild, or a key hire, with a clear recommendation and the reasoning behind it.
