Greater Houston on-site · United States remote

Houston runs on small and mid-sized businesses — energy services, healthcare practices, property management firms, MSPs, e-commerce brands, and SaaS startups. Most of them are stuck between two bad options: an MSP that just keeps the lights on, or an enterprise consultancy that quotes six figures before anyone has written a line of code.
I sit in the middle. Senior fractional CTO leadership, hands-on AI automation, pragmatic cybersecurity baselines, and cloud advisory — priced and scoped for SMBs that need clarity, not a sales pitch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you actually based in Houston?
Yes. The practice is headquartered at 777 Preston St, Houston, TX 77002. On-site visits in Greater Houston (Inner Loop, Energy Corridor, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland) are available; everything else runs remotely.
Do you only work with Houston businesses?
No. Houston is the home base, but most engagements are remote across the United States. Local clients get the option of in-person workshops and on-site assessments.
What size businesses do you typically serve?
Small and mid-sized businesses, generally 5–250 employees. Common verticals include healthcare practices, MSPs, property management, e-commerce, and SaaS startups.
How do engagements usually start?
A free 30-minute strategy call to scope the problem. From there, most clients begin with either a one-time assessment (security baseline, AI automation audit, or tech stack review) or a recurring fractional CTO retainer.
Can you work alongside our existing IT provider or MSP?
Yes — and it's a common arrangement. The fractional CTO role is strategic and vendor-neutral. Your MSP keeps doing day-to-day support; I help you decide what to buy, what to fix, and what to automate.
