Fractional CTO for Agriculture & Agritech

A non-technical founder making architecture and hiring decisions alone is the most expensive gap in an early company. This role closes it without a full-time salary and equity.

In agriculture & agritech, users are offline, on low-end devices, and rarely reading English. That single fact reshapes how fractional cto has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is procurement automation, usually integrated against weather and satellite data services. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.

Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.
