Assess
We map the product, architecture, team, delivery risks, and the decisions that have been waiting for a senior technical owner.
Kyle McCullough · Fractional CTO · Based in PEI, working globally
Your fractional CTO — who still ships.
I set product and technical direction, repair foundations, and ship critical systems alongside your team — without the full-time executive hire or consultancy handoffs.
Fractional CTO
One senior operator. The whole system.
When the product has outgrown its architecture, features slow down and difficult decisions start piling up. I provide retained technical leadership from product direction through production — with the authority to decide and the ability to build.

Based on a farm in Prince Edward Island. Working globally. The work is world-class. The overhead isn't.
How retained leadership works Clarity in week one.
Clarity in week one.
Leadership from there.
Decide
I turn the ambiguity into priorities, an operating plan, and clear technical decisions your team can actually execute.
Lead and ship
I stay embedded as the technical leader and work the critical path alongside your team — from architecture and hiring to production delivery.
The full story
25 years of shipping things that work.
From film sets to the DoD to building AI agents — the path was never linear, but the through-line is the same: make it real, make it work, make it last.
