Dan Petrescu

Fractional CTO

For funded founders without a technical co-founder, and for agencies with a client project that outgrew them. You have a team or a vendor and no one whose job is the technical decisions. I take that job, two days a week, and you keep the roadmap.

Deliverables

What you get

  • Architecture decisions with written trade-offs
  • Hiring loop and interview rubric
  • Vendor and cloud negotiations
  • Investor tech due-diligence prep
  • Weekly 1:1 with your lead dev
  • On-call for incidents
  • Quarterly roadmap review

Pricing

How pricing works

2 days/week. 3-month minimum, then monthly.

Every engagement is quoted on scope, not on an hourly rate. After a 30-minute call you get one written number and one date, both fixed before anyone writes code. If the scope changes later, the change is priced and agreed in writing first.
