Ways to work together

Flexible engagements scoped to your stage and runway — from ongoing leadership to a focused build.

01

Fractional CTO / Head of Engineering

Ongoing, part-time technical leadership embedded with your team.

  • Technical strategy & architecture aligned to business goals and runway
  • Roadmaps, delivery process, and DevOps pipelines
  • Hiring, mentoring, and leveling up your engineers
  • Stack, vendor, and build-vs-buy decisions
Best for funded startups scaling a team
03

Hands-on MVP Builds

Concept to launch — I architect and build the product myself.

  • Cross-platform apps in React Native, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS
  • Reusable component libraries & design systems
  • Secure fintech & in-app transaction features
  • Fast, standards-driven delivery from day one
Best for pre-seed founders shipping v1

A clear path from chaos to shipped

Every engagement follows the same principles: understand the business first, then move fast with senior judgment.

01

Discover

Understand your product, business goals, and runway. Audit the current stack, codebase, and team.

02

Plan

Define the architecture, roadmap, and priorities — sequenced to your budget and timeline.

03

Execute

Ship. Stand up standards, DevOps pipelines, and reusable systems; build hands-on or guide your team.

04

Level up

Mentor engineers and document decisions so the work sustains long after I step back.

Meet Brandon Miller

I'm a Principal Software Architect and technical leader with 8+ years architecting scalable software, mentoring teams, and aligning engineering with business goals. I've served as principal developer on fintech products — delivering secure in-app banking and transaction features — and built award-winning consumer apps used by thousands.

Founders bring me in when they need senior technical leadership without the cost of a full-time CTO. I translate time-sensitive business goals into technical plans, reduce cost and complexity, and leave teams stronger than I found them — having trained a team of 6 across mobile and web.
