Fractional CTO · Senior software engineer

Hi, I'm JP. I build software that ships — and stays shipped.

Fifteen years of web, mobile and cloud, from two-person startups to Ticketmaster. Small teams, clear goals, boring infrastructure.

What I do

what I'm usually hired for

Product delivery, web & mobile

The whole product, from wireframes to production, by one engineer working with coding agents.

  • Web and mobile apps, on both stores, from one codebase
  • A scope that used to need a team, shipped in weeks
  • Existing apps rescued and sped up: 2–5× faster loads, 40–60% cheaper hosting
  • web
  • iOS
  • Android

AI, in production

LLM features and agents that survive real users, and a team that ships with coding agents.

  • Agents and LLM features on your data, with evals and observability
  • A bill you can predict: caching, model routing, budgets
  • Your codebase made agent-ready: conventions, guardrails, review; at Sapien it cut one build by 50%
  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • MCP
  • evals

Cloud, platform & security

The boring part that makes the fast part safe.

  • APIs and back-ends that scale with traffic and cost nothing when idle
  • Security audits of code, cloud and pipelines, with a prioritised fix list instead of a report
  • Hardening and compliance readiness: SOC 2, ISO 27001, Law 25
  • audits
  • SOC 2
  • ISO 27001
  • Law 25

Fractional CTO

A senior engineer in the room when decisions get made. A day a week, or a critical quarter.

  • Roadmap and architecture: build, buy or postpone, and why
  • The migration everyone's afraid of, planned and shipped
  • Hiring, mentoring, and an engineering practice built around agents
  • 1 day / week
  • one quarter
  • one-off audit
