Growing a company isn’t just about building more features or hiring more engineers. It’s about making the right technical decisions at the right time. Decisions that directly support the business you’re trying to build, at the stage in the journey you’re in. Brand new startups will be making different technical decisions than large scale enterprise, or even series B funding.

I created Thomas Advisory to give founders access to the kind of strategic technical leadership normally reserved for full-time CTOs, without the overhead or long ramp-up.

I help founders align their technology outcomes with their business goals, ensuring every technical decision strengthens, not slows, your path to growth.

Technology is often the hidden force that determines how fast a company can move. When architecture becomes a bottleneck, delivery slows down, or systems begin to strain under new demand, the business feels it long before the codebase shows it.

My role is to help you see around corners:

• Identifying the technical risks that could impact your growth

• Bringing clarity to complex engineering decisions

• Strengthening the systems that support your team and customers

• Identifying alternate revenue streams and opportunities

• Ensuring technology remains an accelerator, not a drag, on your business

I operate as a strategic counterpart to founders, providing the experience, structure, and insight needed to move with confidence.

Every company has unique goals, pressures, and timelines. The right technical strategy must support all three and adapt as these change.

I work closely with founders to ensure their technical roadmap is fully aligned with the business roadmap. That means focusing on:

• Teh architecture you’ll need six months from now. Not just today

• The delivery practices that enable responding rapidly to changing markets

• The reliability and scalability that supports unpredictable growth

• The technical maturity that creates long-term leverage required to win trust from customers and investors

Whether advising on key decisions or stepping in as a fractional CTO, my priority is always the same: build a technical foundation that supports real business outcomes.

Startups move fast. But that pace can become unsustainable without the right systems underneath. I help companies mature their technical operations in ways that reduce stress, increase clarity, and improve execution.

You’ll gain structure where it matters most:

• Clear architecture direction

• More reliable infrastructure

• Faster, safer delivery pipelines

• Scalable process that improves engineering productivity

Technical maturity isn’t about red tape; it’s about enabling your team to ship value faster with fewer surprises.

Founders choose Thomas Advisory when they need:

• Strategic technical leadership tailored to their business goals

• Clarity during moments of uncertainty or technical complexity

• A trusted partner for evaluatin high-impact technical decisions

• Guidance on scaling architecture, delivery and operations

• Executive-level insight without hiring a full-time CTO

My approach is grounded in my experience spanning DevOps, cloud architecture, software scalability, and technical leadership across startups and enterprise systems. That breadth allows me to quickly understand where a company is, where it needs to go, and what technical decisions will get it there.
