I help SaaS companies bring complex products to market, improve delivery, and build secure, scalable, compliant platforms without needing to hire a full-time technology executive. My background spans product management, QA, technical operations, software delivery, cloud infrastructure, security, and PCI DSS compliance. I have led teams responsible for products from early definition through development, testing, launch, and ongoing operation. I am particularly useful when a company has a capable development team but needs senior help bringing structure to the work. Typical engagements include: • Fractional CTO and technical leadership • Product and launch readiness • MVP definition and roadmap prioritization • QA, UAT, and release management • SDLC design and improvement • Developer workflows, acceptance criteria, and delivery processes • SaaS architecture and technical operations • PCI DSS readiness and remediation • SAQ-A through SAQ-D environments • Payment platform and payment-page compliance • Security, risk, and operational controls I have extensive experience working directly with founders, executives, developers, QA teams, product teams, vendors, and compliance assessors. My work has included: • Leading product development and technical operations for large SaaS platforms • Building and managing QA, release, infrastructure, security, and compliance functions • Translating business requirements into clear development priorities and acceptance criteria • Running formal UAT and end-to-end release validation • Establishing Agile/Scrum workflows, backlogs, release processes, and operating cadences • Helping organizations prepare for and maintain PCI DSS compliance • Identifying technical, operational, and product risks before they become launch problems • Supporting teams through product launches, platform migrations, and major feature releases My technical background includes Ruby on Rails, React, cloud-native infrastructure, AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, automated testing, and modern SaaS architecture. I am comfortable working as either a hands-on individual contributor or an embedded fractional leader. If your team is preparing for launch, struggling with delivery, tightening its QA process, dealing with PCI compliance, or simply needs experienced technical leadership for a critical phase of the business, I can step in quickly and help create a clear path forward.
