Your SaaS worked. Then the customers arrived.

You built it with Cursor, Claude, Lovable or Bolt, got people paying, and now every new account costs you a night in the codebase. The Supabase rules are open, the API limits hit at the worst moment, and you are the support engineer, the product manager and the CEO. If you are debugging, you are not selling.

That is the exact job I do.

WHAT I DO

I step in as your fractional CTO. I do not delete your code. I stabilize the architecture you already have, lock down security, take over the product roadmap and technical execution, and hand you back the hours only a founder can spend: on customers.

Three things happen, in order.

1. ARCHITECTURE AUDIT. Fixed scope, ten days. I read the actual codebase, not a discovery call. You get a written report: what is fragile, what is exploitable, what breaks next at twice your current load, and what to fix first. Yours to keep, whoever you hire next.

2. STABILIZATION. I fix the critical list myself: auth and RLS, API and webhook reliability, rate limiting, query performance, error logging, the crash loops. No rewrite. Your app keeps serving customers throughout.

3. ROADMAP AND EXECUTION. Your feature requests become a prioritized 90-day roadmap. I own architecture, code review and deployment, and features ship weekly. For larger roadmaps I bring in senior engineers I have worked with for years, always under my review and with your agreement. You decide what closes the next deal. I make sure it ships.

Scope and fee are fixed and quoted on our call, after I have seen the codebase. Not before.

WHO THIS IS FOR

B2B SaaS founders between roughly $50k and $500k ARR who built the product themselves with AI tools and are now the bottleneck. Typical stack: Next.js, Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, an OpenAI or Anthropic API. Typical trigger: you crossed 30 to 50 paying accounts, hired your first salesperson, and the app started breaking under the new load.

Not the right fit: an idea with no paying customers yet, a rewrite from scratch, or crypto.

WHY NOT AN AGENCY, A CTO HIRE, OR A DEVELOPER

An agency looks at AI-generated code and quotes a three-month rewrite; three months of zero features is fatal at your stage. A full-time CTO costs $180k plus equity a business your size cannot carry. A mid-level developer hire turns you into a full-time product manager instead of a CEO. This engagement exists to bypass all three: keep your code, stabilize it, ship weekly, return your calendar.
