A CTO who has built and scaled from Taiwan

I'm a fractional and remote CTO who founded an interactive live-streaming platform, wrote its first line of code from Taiwan, set its architecture, and led engineering for six years — growing engineering from three people to around twelve, the company to about fifty, and steering it through an acquisition.

For founders in Taipei and across Asia who need senior technical leadership but not a full-time hire, I bring exactly that: someone who has owned the architecture, the team, and the hard decisions at scale.

Where a fractional CTO fits

  • Non-technical founders who need a trusted owner for architecture, early hiring, and turning product vision into a buildable system.
  • Early startups that want a senior bar set from day one (boundaries, standards, and a hiring approach) without the cost of a full-time CTO.
  • Cross-border teams working between Asia and Europe that need leadership comfortable bridging both.

How I lead

I treat the system and the team as two views of the same thing, and I build both for reversibility and growth. Having run a distributed organisation across timezones, I keep work visible and decisions written down, so leadership doesn't depend on being in the same room.

Frequently asked

What is a fractional CTO?+

Senior technical leadership on a part-time basis — owning architecture, hiring, and engineering direction without a full-time hire. Ideal for early and scaling startups.

Have you done this at scale before?+

Yes. I co-founded a platform, built it from the first commit, and grew its engineering team from three to around twelve, inside a company of about fifty, through to an acquisition.

How does remote leadership work across timezones?+

I led a distributed team across APAC and Europe for years. I can cover Asian hours and bridge to European partners, with progress kept visible in writing.

Are you hands-on?+

Yes — close enough to the code and architecture to make calls that survive contact with production.

What languages do you work in?+

English, comfortably, for international and expat-founded teams.
