Fractional CTO for founders and growing teams
Practical technical leadership from someone who has built products, scaled systems, and runs Australia's only Premier Laravel Partner agency.
I run Pixel, Australia's only Premier Laravel Partner - a 7-figure Laravel agency built over 5+ years around complex platforms, systems, and serious business software.
Alongside Pixel, I provide Fractional CTO support for Nourish'd, advising on technical direction and systems as the business scales beyond 8 figures.
Through Pixel, I also provide technical leadership and direction for clients including Trilogy Care and Chemist Warehouse.
Who it's for
- Non-technical founders who need a trusted technical partner
- Early-stage SaaS or product businesses
- Businesses with complex Laravel platforms, portals, workflows, integrations, or internal systems
- Teams stuck between freelancers, agencies, and internal hiring
- Businesses needing a second opinion before a major build
- Founders who need technical clarity before spending heavily
What I help with
- Product and technical strategy
- Architecture reviews
- Roadmap planning
- Hiring and vendor review
- Laravel, SaaS, and complex product guidance
- Technical due diligence
- Project rescue and second opinions
- Turning vague ideas into buildable plans
What this is not
This is not outsourced development work. If you need to build something - complex Laravel systems, serious business software, custom product work - my agency Pixel is usually the better fit. We are Australia's only Premier Laravel Partner and we do not take on brochure sites, marketing websites, or off-the-shelf builds. This advisory offer is for the decision that comes before the build: clarity, direction, and technical judgement.
How we can work together
I only work with a small number of businesses at a time, and I do not take on advisory work where there is a direct commercial conflict with an existing client.
Strategy Session
A focused working session to review your technical direction, challenge assumptions, and give you a clear picture of where to go next.
Monthly Advisory
Ongoing access to senior technical thinking - regular calls, async support, and a second opinion whenever you need it.
Project Rescue
Something went wrong or you are not sure the current direction is right. I will review what is there and tell you honestly what to do.
Fractional CTO Retainer
Deeper ongoing engagement - acting as your technical partner across hiring, architecture, roadmap, and product decisions.
Fractional CTO advisory typically starts from $5,000 + GST per month, depending on the level of involvement.
Making a major technical decision?
If you are planning a new product, reviewing your current technical direction, or trying to work out whether you are on the right path - I can help you get clarity.
