Fractional CTO / Technical leadership
Direction when the roadmap is noisy: help aligning stakeholders, shaping priorities, and setting standards that stick.
Outcome: a team that knows what “good” looks like—and how to get there.
Senior leadership for moments that matter.
UNIVRS partners with founders and leaders to turn uncertainty into a plan, and a plan into shipping.
Strategic clarity, disciplined execution, and AI-augmented delivery—without noise.
No pressure. If it’s not a fit, you’ll still leave with clarity.
- 20+ years across software, systems, and platforms
- Worked across startups, scale-ups, and complex environments
- Built and shipped real systems — not slideware
What UNIVRS actually does
Practical senior support when you need clear thinking, steady hands, and delivery that respects reality.
AI-augmented delivery systems
Integrate AI where it genuinely helps: assisting analysis, reducing repetitive work, and improving feedback loops without breaking trust.
Outcome: faster cycles with predictable quality, not chaotic velocity.
Platform & architecture design
Make architecture a tool for calm execution: define the seams, pick the right constraints, and keep complexity in its place.
Outcome: systems you can evolve—without heroics.
Rescue, stabilisation, and clarity
When delivery feels fragile: identify failure modes, remove bottlenecks, and create a plan the whole team can commit to.
Outcome: fewer surprises, better decisions, and regained momentum.
Strategic technical advisory
Senior perspective for key choices: build vs buy, risk tradeoffs, hiring, and long-term technical direction.
Outcome: confidence to move forward without guessing.
How UNIVRS works
A predictable way of working that creates trust: calm entry, clear picture, steady progress.
Start small
A short conversation to understand the context, urgency, and the people involved. If it’s not a fit, we say so early.
Create clarity
Map constraints, risks, and priorities. Establish the few decisions that unlock everything else.
Guide execution
Ship in sensible increments, keep quality visible, and protect the team from thrash.
Build trust over time
Patterns, documentation, and decision trails that make the work legible—so progress survives handoffs and growth.
Philosophy
The principles that guide the work—especially when timelines and expectations get tight.
“Technology should reduce chaos, not create it.”
The goal is calmer operations and clearer decisions—not cleverness for its own sake.
- AI is a collaborator, not a replacement: it supports judgment, it doesn’t substitute for it.
- Good systems respect humans: teams need legibility, safety, and ownership to do great work.
- Delivery without clarity is waste: shipping the wrong thing quickly is still the wrong thing.
- Long-term thinking beats short-term hacks: shortcuts compound interest—in the wrong direction.
Fit
Clear alignment makes everything easier—for you and for the people doing the work.
This is for
- Founders who want clarity before committing to big builds
- Teams under pressure that need stability, not drama
- Leaders who value quality, thinking, and honest tradeoffs
- Organisations ready to name the real problems—and fix them
This is not for
- Cheap outsourcing or anonymous ticket delivery
- Feature factories optimised for throughput over outcomes
- Hype-chasing initiatives without a grounded purpose
Start with a quiet conversation
No obligation. Share what’s happening, what’s at risk, and what “better” should look like. You’ll get a clear next step—even if it’s not with UNIVRS.
