Built, not advised.
Four ways in. One principle: we ship the thing, we don’t just advise on it.
Audit
the diagnostic · fixed · credited to what comes next
The fastest way to find out if I can help. I assess your systems, your AI, your tooling, and give you a one-page plan with the highest-value moves ranked. Plain English, no sales deck. Credited to your first month.
A$750
One day rate underneath it all: A$1,500 a day, falling with volume. Never by the hour.
Advisory
A$3,000/mo
a half-day a week, plus on-call
Senior CTO judgement on tap. Your decisions, vendors and quotes sanity-checked before you spend, with on-call access when something lands on your desk.
One Priority
A$6,500/mo
approx 1 day/week
A$1,500 a day
I own your single most important technical priority at a time. Senior leadership on the decision that matters most, hands on the keys when it helps.
Your Function
A$13,000/mo
approx 2 days/week
A$1,500 a day
I own the technical function: roadmap, tools and vendors, build oversight, hiring. CTO judgement without the CTO salary.
Your Department
A$18,000/mo
approx 3 days/week, plus priority access
under A$1,400 a day
I am your tech department. Deep embedding, priority and on-call access, hands-on building across everything that matters.
Interim CTO cover
full-time · 5 days/week · a fixed stretch, then a clean handover
Full CTO cover for a gap, a transition, or a critical build. Five days a week, embedded in the business, with the same volume day rate as Your Department and a clean handover at the end.
Tech Rescue
the fix · 1 to 2 weeks · fixed fee once scoped
from A$5,999
Your app, or the thing you vibe-coded, is breaking in production. I stabilise it, harden it, and hand it back working, with notes your next developer can actually follow. Scoped to the damage, fixed fee, no open-ended meter.
On-Call Cover from A$1,250/mo
Or keep me on call before it breaks: 4 included hours a month and same-business-day response, on a 3-month minimum. It starts with the audit, so I know your stack before the first fire.
Priority cover, with 8 hours and 4-business-hour response, A$2,500/mo.
Build Sprint
the complete platform build · 4 to 12 weeks · fixed scope, fixed fee
from A$25,000
A complete platform, built and handed over live. We scope it on a one-page brief, then I build the whole thing: the brand concept and interface (or your existing brand, ported), the backend, the frontend, the infrastructure, deployed, tested and live. You get a fully operational, working, branded platform, documented and owned by you. Fixed fee, no padding. It ends in software, not a slideshow.
Built, not advised.
One architect, end-to-end.
A fractional and on-demand CTO, from audit to live handover.
