Fractional CTO for Government & Public Sector

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 government & public sector, procurement, data sovereignty and accessibility obligations shape the architecture before anything else. 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 citizen grievance triage, usually integrated against DigiLocker and Aadhaar-linked services. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.
