Difficult products need someone who has lived the whole journey.

I help founders and small teams turn ambitious ideas into useful products. My experience spans product strategy, hardware, firmware, apps, manufacturing, customers, and the business around it all.

Where I help

From idea to shipped product.

Technical strategy review

Review an existing architecture, roadmap, or development strategy; identify risks; and turn the findings into practical next steps.

Hardware and software

Work through prototypes, embedded systems, apps, technical trade-offs, manufacturing, and the messy joins between them.

Founder problem-solving

Get practical help with validation, build-versus-buy choices, hiring, positioning, shipping, and deciding what is actually worth doing next.

Ways to work together

Useful involvement, shaped to the problem.

01 / Fractional

Ongoing hands-on product and technical leadership for a small team that needs senior experience without a full-time hire.

02 / Focused projects

A defined piece of strategy, prototyping, product development, or technical investigation with a useful outcome.

03 / Advisory

Regular, candid input for founders navigating difficult product, hardware, or early business decisions.

Strategy reviews

A clear view of what to do next.

I can step into an existing product or platform, understand the path taken so far, and give founders an independent view of whether the technical direction still supports the business.

  • Architecture and platform direction
  • Roadmap, scope, and delivery risks
  • Build, buy, and integration decisions
  • Team capability and hiring priorities
  • Product and customer alignment
  • A practical sequence of next steps

A useful fit

You are building something technically difficult, resources are limited, and you need someone who can move between the big picture and the actual work.

I am especially useful to early-stage founders, sports technology companies, and teams developing physical products. I take on a small number of engagements where I can make a meaningful difference.

Tell me what you are building, where you are stuck, and what a useful outcome would look like. A rough outline is more than enough.
