About Pierre-Henri

Fractional CTO — I support startups and product-focused SMEs in structuring, securing, and scaling their technical systems.

I step in when a team lacks an experienced CTO or when the product begins to suffer from technical debt: delivery slowdowns, recurring bugs, recruitment difficulties, or unstable architecture.

My role isn't just to develop but to make the team autonomous and high-performing:
• Architecture and standards definition
• Prioritization of technical vs. business roadmap
• Technical debt reduction
• Delivery process structuring (CI/CD, QA, release)
• Implementation of engineering performance indicators
• Developer coaching and mentoring
• Technical recruitment assistance and candidate evaluation
• Build vs. buy arbitration and technology choices

I typically work 1 to 3 days a week, in direct collaboration with the CEO / CPO, to provide senior technical vision without the cost of a full-time CTO.

Main stack: TypeScript, React, Node.js, AWS/Vercel cloud, API & event-driven architectures — used as a business lever, not an end in itself.

Pierre Henri intervened at the start of our project to frame the Front-end architecture and onboard two developers. He quickly integrated into our team and transmitted best practices to the company's developers. We would gladly work with Pierre-Henri again!
