You can't optimize what you can't see.

Fractional CTO & Founder, ATSK. I map how your business actually works, make it observable, then fix the systems so you can scale without chaos.

Most organizations don't have a technology problem.

They have a visibility and operations problem.

  • 📉Blind Spots: Leaders fly blind with no reliable signals.
  • 🗣️Tribal Knowledge: Work moves via chat and "heroics."
  • 🔥Scaling Chaos: Growth breaks the systems that used to work.

Invisible Workflows

Work happens in spreadsheets and tribal knowledge. When key people leave, the knowledge leaves with them.

No Observability

Dashboards that collect dust, no real signals. Decisions are made on gut feeling rather than data.

Scaling Chaos

Growth amplifies every hidden problem. The systems that worked at 10 people break at 50.

Model → Measure → Optimize

Model

Map how the business actually operates—the real flows, not the org chart. Where does information get stuck? Where do handoffs fail?

Measure

Instrument what matters. Not dashboards that collect dust—metrics that drive decisions. You should be able to see whether changes are actually working.

Optimize

Sometimes you tune. Sometimes you rebuild. I help you know which, then do it—with technology, automation, data, and AI as primary levers.

*This sits inside the Elevate Performance Framework (EPF), with engagements shaped as INSIGHT, OPTIMIZE, or TRANSFORM.*

Where I Fit

Fractional CTO for ops-heavy teams outgrowing heroics and spreadsheets.

Ops-heavy Startups

Not ready for a full-time CTO, but need strategic tech leadership to scale.

Mid-market Orgs

Stuck in transformation that isn't transforming. Need someone who diagnoses before prescribing.

Leadership Teams

Facing infrastructure and process problems they can feel but can't fully see.

PE-backed Companies

Need operational improvement for exit—fast ROI with clear methodology.

15+ years. Startups to Fortune 500.

Former Director of Cloud & IT. I've worked across healthcare, finance, manufacturing, logistics, retail, and government. The patterns are the same everywhere—I've just seen more of them.

Not a slide-deck consultant.

When something is missing—a connector, an automation, a platform—I have the capability to build it. Through ATSK Foundry, I maintain reusable components that speed delivery.
