Technical strategies rarely fail because they were wrong. They fail because nobody translated them into the language the budget is written in.
We directed the cloud architecture for a logistics platform running 300,000+ shipments. Much of that job was sequencing the roadmap so each phase paid for the next. At Amazon, a proof of concept made an infrastructure bottleneck undeniable. It secured VP-level funding for a phased cross-org rollout.
What this covers
- Technical strategy. A roadmap tied to commercial milestones, with the cost of not doing each item stated plainly.
- Due diligence. A ranked, priced list that separates what is structural from what only looks alarming in a scan.
- The engineering organisation. Team topology, hiring, standards and review culture. We built a development centre from zero: twelve engineers, a defined culture and 30% organisational revenue growth in six months.
How it works
We work one to two days a week, with real decision authority in the technical domain. The founder, Suraj Chavda, takes the seat personally. He is available to the board, the engineering team and anyone who is uncomfortable.
The engagement is meant to end, with a permanent CTO hired well or a leadership team that no longer needs the seat filled.
