My very first freelance gig, and they wanted AR glasses for brain injury rehab. In 2016, when AR was barely a thing. I'd never used Unity, never done AR, definitely never built medical software. But I needed the work, so I said yes.
This project represents the kind of technical leadership and strategic thinking that drives successful platform transformations. Working with Trauma Rehabilitation Clinic, we tackled complex challenges that required both deep technical expertise and business strategy alignment.
The approach combined hands-on technical execution with strategic oversight, ensuring that every technical decision supported broader business objectives. This is the kind of fractional CTO engagement that transforms companies from being limited by their technology to being empowered by it.
The results demonstrate what's possible when you combine migration expertise with technical leadership: faster delivery, improved team productivity, and sustainable growth built on modern technology foundations.
