(01) Fractional CTO & Technology Leadership
We’ve already built the thing you’re trying to build.
FMLY is senior technology leadership for small and mid-size businesses — the judgment of a full-time CTO without the full-time hire. We don’t hand you a deck and leave. We sit in the work and ship alongside you.
No retainers you can’t exit. No theater.
Just a senior operator in your corner.
(02)What we actually do
Four ways we plug in — pick the one that hurts most.
Fractional CTO
Senior technology leadership on a cadence that fits your stage. Strategy, architecture, vendor calls, hiring, and the hard decisions — owned, not advised on from a distance.
Build & ship
We don’t just point at the whiteboard. We write code, set up the pipeline, and get real software out the door — then hand you something your team can run.
AI, for real work
Skip the hype cycle. We find the one bottleneck where AI actually pays off, prove it on a small slice, and only then talk about scaling. No moonshots on your dime.
Fix the foundation
Slow releases, brittle systems, no process to speak of? We bring just enough structure to move fast without the chaos — and leave the chaos behind.
(03)Why us
Most consultants hand you a deck and leave. We’ve sat in your chair — shipped the product, scaled the team, made the call at 2am. The experience is the deliverable.
You get an operator who’s already made the expensive mistakes — so you don’t have to.
Plain-English answers, not a glossary of frameworks you’ll never use.
We optimize for what your business needs next — not for staying on the invoice.
