Fractional CTO
I've been working as a CTO for years. Leading teams of human developers (and increasingly non-human ones) to launch digital products, build apps, robots, agents, crypto stuff.
And it's always been the same: other teams and projects reach out for help with the tech side, but they don't need (and can't afford) a full-time CTO. At first I did it informally, helping here and there. Until I realized that has a name.
What is a Fractional CTO?
A Fractional CTO is basically a part-time CTO. A senior technical leader who works with several companies in parallel, dedicating a fraction of their time to each one. The beauty is that companies get CTO-level experience without paying a full executive salary, and the CTO builds cross-industry vision by working with different projects, industries, and problems at the same time. Exactly what I like since I enjoy knowing about different businesses.
It's a model that has existed for years in the US and UK, and is just now gaining traction in Latin America. For early-stage startups or projects that need strategic technical direction but aren't in a position to hire a full-time CTO, it's the perfect solution.
Where I'm involved now
Right now I'm Fractional CTO in these projects:
URKU — Carbon credit tokenization
URKU is a crypto project for real-world asset tokenization. The idea is to tokenize carbon credits from Ecuador, connecting impact investment with blockchain technology. Each URKU token represents one ton of stored CO2. It's the kind of project where crypto stops being speculation and starts having real impact in the physical world.

DeliveryCraft.ai — Digital product delivery with AI
DeliveryCraft.ai is the other side of the coin. Here the focus is helping tech teams work not only with human teams but with human + agent teams.
Why do I do it?
Because I love variety. I like understanding everything, and the fractional model lets me be in different projects, solve different problems, and keep learning from industries that aren't my own. Plus, it gives me time for what matters most to me right now: building D.N., my AI agent for electrical engineering, and finishing my thesis.
If you have a tech project and need technical direction without a full-time CTO commitment, let's talk.
