Interim CTO & Tech Lead — Products from Idea to Market
I bring products from the initial idea to market success — digital and physical. In over 15 years as CTO, Co-CEO, and founder, I've learned what works: small teams, clear technical decisions, and a pragmatic bridge between development and business.
What I bring:
As Co-CEO and CTO of Fox & Sheep, I helped build one of Europe's leading children's app studios — 25+ apps, millions of downloads, award-winning. At Tiny Monster, I took a physical audio player from an Arduino prototype to a finished product, including two successful funding rounds.
I am at my strongest when I combine technical architecture with product strategy: designing systems, building and leading development teams, and always keeping the overall product in view.
My Focus Areas:
- Interim/Fractional CTO for startups and scale-ups
- Technical product strategy and architecture reviews
- Team building and technical leadership
- Mobile app development (iOS/Android, Unity3D)
- Process optimization and scaling
Who I work for:
Startups and medium-sized companies that need technical leadership at the CTO level. Whether it's product launch, team building, technology evaluation, or technical validation of a new concept: I bring structure and deliver results.
