I'm Ben, a fractional CTO who helps growing companies fix the technology problems that are holding them back. Instead of endless maintenance and frustrated developers, you get modern systems that accelerate your business.
✅ Recent result: Helped Scart reduce maintenance by 90% while launching 3 new revenue-generating products
Here's how I help turn technology into your competitive advantage:
Strategic technical leadership that addresses root causes, not symptoms
After years in enterprise development, I noticed a pattern: companies trying to solve technology problems by adding more developers. But the issues weren't about capacity - they were about architecture, process, and strategic direction. At companies like FirstFocus and Intershop, I saw how the right technical decisions could transform team productivity and business outcomes. That's why I focus on fractional CTO work: providing the strategic technical leadership growing companies need without the overhead of a full-time executive.
Stop throwing money at systems that fight you every day. I help companies migrate from dying platforms to modern systems that teams actually enjoy working with.
Skip the AI hype and get implementations that solve real business problems. I focus on automation and customer experience improvements that generate measurable ROI.
Turn business ideas into working prototypes in 2-4 weeks. I build real products with paying users - because market validation beats PowerPoint presentations.
Connect your disconnected tools and eliminate the manual work that wastes your team's time. Focus your people on growing the business, not moving data around.

I usually work with companies that are in that weird spot - too big to wing it, but not big enough for a full-time CTO. Like if you have 10-20 people and suddenly realize your technology is holding everyone back. You know you're in this spot when hiring another developer doesn't help anymore. The problems are bigger than that - it's about why things are slow, not that you need more hands.
