I'm a fractional CTO and hands-on product engineer with over 17 years of startup experience. I help non-technical founders turn ideas into reality - working products and teams that provide a solid foundation for profitability, fundraising, and growth.

I offer the following services:

1. Product design - design a product that users want, investors back, and engineers can actually build.

2. Product development - build a quality product quickly and start gathering feedback from customers and potential investors as early as possible.

3. Engineering management - hire, onboard, and lead a lean engineering team to accelerate product development and optimize cost.

4. Technical consulting - pick a tech stack and processes appropriate for the current stage without putting future growth at risk.

5. Project rescues - get your project back on track, understand why it went off the rails, and ensure it'll stay on the right track.

If that sounds like what you need then let's chat: contact@gregnavis.com

I've worked across many stacks, but prefer tried and true tech: React + TypeScript or Hotwire on the frontend; Ruby on Rails on the backend. I also have significant experience with Elixir (+ Phoenix) and Python (+ Flask).

I'm a fractional CTO and hands-on product engineer with over 17 years of experience. I help tech companies of all stages to achieve their product and engineering goals. I can help you to:

1. Overcome complex technical challenges affecting product velocity, quality, and team morale.

2. Design and deliver new features, from roadmap to rollout.

3. Build and lead remote engineering teams, including hiring and mentoring.

4. Reduce technical debt and put practices in place to prevent it.

I'm a fractional CTO, product designer and engineer with ~ 16 years of experience. I help tech entrepreneurs and tech companies achieve their product and engineering goals. Depending on the stage:

1. Pre-product - I can help you turn an idea into a reality by trimming the scope to the essential and then designing, developing, and deploying a product.

2. Early traction - if your product is gaining traction then I can help you focus on the business by taking care of engineering: setting up infrastructure, processes, development practices, and leading product and engineering efforts.

3. Mature product - I can help you lead and contribute to complex technical initiatives behind mature products: legacy technologies and code bases, poor code quality and understandability, overstretched architecture.

Tech Stack: Ruby, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Elixir (backend); vanilla HTML, CSS, JavaScript, DOM API, React, Stimulus, TypeScript (frontend); React Native, Swift, UIKit (mobile); Heroku, Render, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, Terraform, Ansible (infrastructure)

I host a virtual machine with Hetzner and it runs OpenBSD: the image was right there in the "ISO Images" tab. It seems that setting up a physical server with OpenBSD is much more complicated, though.
