Fractional Engineering
Pragmatic technical advice from someone who's spent 20+ years shipping production systems at global scale — now available by the day. Use it for AI strategy, architecture reviews, vendor selection, or to run your tech through discovery before a bigger build.
Who it's for
Founders who need a real engineer's judgement before spending £20k with an agency — not another "AI strategist" selling slide decks.
What's included
- AI and automation opportunity audit against your actual workflows
- Architecture and vendor reviews — what to buy, what to build, what to bin
- Due-diligence reads on agency proposals and SaaS contracts
- Hands-on delivery if you want me to build what we scope
- Day rate £750 — below the £800–£1,250 UK fractional-CTO market
- Typical engagements are 2–8 days, billed after each day
