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 the team from three people to around 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 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.
