Your business deserves a technology leader, not just another tool.

A fractional CTO is an experienced technology leader who works with your business on a part-time or project basis instead of as a full-time hire. I embed with your team, join your meetings, manage vendors, set your technology roadmap, and make the technical decisions that move your business forward. Think of it as having a senior technology executive on your side without the six-figure salary commitment.

If your team spends hours on repetitive tasks, you have data sitting in spreadsheets that nobody analyzes, or your competitors are pulling ahead with automation, you're probably ready. AI consulting for small businesses doesn't require a massive budget or a technical background. I start with a readiness assessment to identify where AI creates the most value for your specific situation, then we build from there.

An IT hire typically handles day-to-day support: fixing computers, managing accounts, troubleshooting issues. A fractional CTO operates at the strategic level. I focus on where your technology should be headed, which systems to invest in, how to integrate AI into your workflows, and how to make your tech stack work as a competitive advantage rather than just a cost center. Many of my clients have IT support already; they bring me in for the bigger-picture decisions.

Absolutely. While most of my clients are in the Orlando and Tampa metro areas, I also work with businesses in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Safety Harbor, and throughout Central Florida. I've also worked with clients across the nation, from California to Colorado and from Georgia to New York. For AI strategy, fractional CTO work, and web design, remote engagements work great.

It depends on the scope, but I structure engagements so they're accessible for small businesses. Some clients start with a one-time AI readiness assessment or strategy session, while others work with me on a monthly retainer as their fractional CTO. I'm transparent about costs upfront, and the initial strategy call is always free. Reach out and we'll figure out what makes sense for your budget and goals.

Quick wins often show up within the first few weeks. Things like automating a manual intake process, setting up an AI chatbot for after-hours leads, or connecting disconnected tools can save your team hours every week. Larger AI integration projects, like building custom workflows or overhauling your data infrastructure, typically take 2-3 months to fully implement and measure. I focus on getting real results early so you're not waiting months to see the difference.

I've built deep expertise across several industries, including healthcare, home services, legal, hospitality, real estate, construction, and medical spas. That said, the principles of smart technology strategy apply broadly. If you run a small or mid-size business and feel like technology should be doing more for you, we should talk.
