Why me

What I take off your plate

One person accountable for the architecture, the team and the delivery, so you can focus on the business.

  • Architecture, owned end to end

    I design the system, choose the stack and stay accountable for it after launch. That is how Wasal, Kool Smoothie and Hany were built.

  • A team that ships every week

    I lead developers day to day: planning, reviews and unblocking, so quality holds as the team grows.

  • One person who speaks both languages

    I am the technical contact for founders and stakeholders. Clear trade-offs, honest timelines, no jargon.

FAQ

Questions founders ask first

What does a fractional CTO do?

A fractional CTO gives you senior technical leadership a few days a week. I own the architecture and technical roadmap, lead and review your developers, and make stack, vendor and build-or-buy decisions, without the cost of a full-time executive.

Do I need a fractional CTO or a freelance full-stack developer?

If you already have developers but nobody owns the technical direction, you need a fractional CTO. If you need a product built from scratch, a product build fits better: I design the system and lead the build end to end. The intro call is there to work out which one.

Do you work with clients outside Morocco?

Yes. I work remotely with teams in Morocco, France, Europe and worldwide. Casablanca is on GMT+0/+1, so my working day overlaps fully with European teams, and I work in English and French.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the engagement. A product build or audit gets a written scope, timeline and fixed price after the intro call. Fractional CTO work is priced by the number of days per week. You know exactly what you are buying before we start.

Can you take over an existing codebase?

Yes. I usually start with a technical audit: a review of the code, architecture, performance and security, with a prioritised plan. From there I can lead your team or take the build forward myself.

Which technologies do you work with?

Mostly TypeScript, React, Next.js and Node.js on the web, React Native on mobile, Spring Boot where a Java backend fits, and PostgreSQL or MongoDB for data. I pick the stack for the product, not the other way around.
