The Customer's Pain

This was a freelance team leadership assignment where I had to lead an iOS development team to deliver a PoC under intense time pressure from investors. The challenge wasn't just technical - families needed to monitor elderly relatives remotely - but also organizational: delivering a working prototype with a team while investors were breathing down our necks.

The Full Story

This project represents the kind of technical leadership and strategic thinking that drives successful platform transformations. Working with MonitorLinq, 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.
