Fractional CTO 💡 Top Startups Voice⚡ Helping startups make better SaaS

I'm an experienced SaaS CTO, working on a 'Fractional' basis, meaning that companies can hire me part-time as their Interim CTO, or as an advisor to the board. 

I work for startups, scaleups, ISVs and other software companies, or consultancies turning into SaaS companies.

My work is transformational: when I leave, a company should be better off in terms of their (tech) strategy and/or operational excellence.

Before becoming a CTO, I have been a solutions and cloud architect. I still code, as an open source contributor, and sometimes for 'my' startups, doing Proof-of-Concepts.

I'm a Web Standards evangelist, and a Social Impact Lover. 

I've seen it all, with more than 30 years of experience in Software Development, and I'm now focusing on Native Cloud as a natural fit for startups and scaleups.

I write a lot about the life of a CTO, and about the Modern Web.

RadHash

Go from MVP to Enterprise with the Full-stack Software Builder You Own—Not Rent✨

Startups are shipping faster than ever on AI-assisted, low/no-code scaffolding—then paying a massive “rebuild tax” at scale. Modernization projects routinely cost ~$1.5M and fail at alarming rates, while tech debt diverts 10–20% of new-product budgets and can equal 20–40% of the tech estate’s value. RadHash offers a self-hosted, AI-native foundation that ships ~95% of the repetitive stack and lets builders customize the last 5%, eliminating rebuilds and making scale the default.

👋🏻 Hi, I’m Astor. I stumbled into my purpose back in the early 2000s at a startup that didn’t make it. What stuck wasn’t the failure — it was the obsession with building. Twenty-three years later, that fire is still burning.

Over the last two decades, I’ve shipped hundreds of tools and helped create $6B in market value. Now I’m tackling the most important build of my career: giving non-technical humans the ability to create their own software using simple, intuitive interfaces.

We’ve done the heavy lifting — built the tech, rallied the community, and lined up 200+ founders across 35 countries and 30 industries. Together, they’ve signed $53M in LOIs — not just startups, but established businesses generating revenue and ready to build custom software that meets their unique needs.

We’re raising to fund 21–36 months of operations, bridging to EBITA-positive milestones with projected 68% net profit margins around month 24.

Want to see why this is the best time in history to invest in foundational AI-powered infrastructure?
Book a one-on-one with me and my team.
