CTO at goLance • Making software simple • Startup Mentor

80% of companies quit on AI before it helps.

Why? 
• One doubtful engineer
• Scary tool costs
• Or no clear plan

I make those problems disappear.

Who I Am
• 20+ years in code and leadership – from hands-on developer to CTO.
• Scaled SaaS platforms used by millions of customers.
• Trained global teams of 10 – 200 engineers to work faster and smarter.
• Guided “boring-industry” firms like healthcare and banks through tough tech shifts.

What I Bring
• Plain-language coaching – Your leaders and engineers get the “why” and the “how” without buzzwords.
• Tool fit & cost control – Pick the right AI tools, keep data safe, and stop surprise credit charges.
• Team habits that stick – I show devs how to fold AI into daily tasks—code reviews, tests, docs—until it feels natural.
• Measurable gains – Expect quicker releases, fewer bugs, and happier engineers in weeks, not years.
• Outcome pricing – You pay for real results, not for my hours on a clock.

The Bottom Line
If you lead a steady, no-flash company and keep hearing, “AI sounds cool, but…,” let’s talk. I turn that “but” into better software, lower costs, and a team that loves its work.
