Fractional Architect

Service Overview

High-impact software architecture… when and how you need it.

Not every organization needs a full-time architect, but every growing team needs architectural guidance. As a Fractional Architect, I partner with you to provide technical leadership, platform strategy, and architectural clarity—on a flexible schedule and at a fraction of the cost of a permanent hire. Whether you’re building something new or fixing something fragile, I help ensure your software decisions scale with your business.

My Work Process

A practical, lightweight approach to driving technical clarity.

Step 1 – Discovery & Alignment We define your goals, pain points, and existing tech landscape in a focused kickoff session.

Step 2 – Architecture Engagement I embed with your team on a fractional basis, typically 4–16 hours per week, providing guidance, architecture reviews, decision support, and mentoring.

Step 3 – Iteration & Scaling

As your needs evolve, I adjust my involvement. Stepping in deeper during transitions or staying high-level when your team is stable.

Troubleshooting Process

When things break down, I help find what’s broken and why.

Sometimes systems slow, teams stall, or architectural choices don’t age well. When that happens, I come in to assess and stabilize:

  • Conduct deep-dive technical assessments

  • Identify architecture bottlenecks or failure points

  • Guide teams through restructuring decisions

  • Deliver actionable recommendations with no fluff

Think of it as an “architecture intervention” backed by experience and empathy.
