I'm Brandon Miller — a Fractional CTO & Principal Software Architect who helps founders and small teams build the right product, fast. 8+ years shipping scalable mobile and web apps, four award-winning launches, and engineering teams leveled up to sustain the work.
Flexible engagements scoped to your stage and runway — from ongoing leadership to a focused build.
Ongoing, part-time technical leadership embedded with your team.
High-leverage, short-term guidance when you need a senior second opinion.
Concept to launch — I architect and build the product myself.
Every engagement follows the same principles: understand the business first, then move fast with senior judgment.
Understand your product, business goals, and runway. Audit the current stack, codebase, and team.
Define the architecture, roadmap, and priorities — sequenced to your budget and timeline.
Ship. Stand up standards, DevOps pipelines, and reusable systems; build hands-on or guide your team.
Mentor engineers and document decisions so the work sustains long after I step back.
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.
Products taken from concept to launch — architected, built, and scaled.
