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.

ShivohamAI

As a C-Level Engineering Consultant at Shivoham AI, I introduced an innovative subscription-based service called #Codedoctorship. This unique offering provides on-demand access to #CleanCode expertise, focusing on treating and simplifying code complexity. Through this service, I connect clients with the concept of product #CodeHealth, emphasizing innovative thinking, fearlessness, and deep code engineering insights.

My approach leverages over 650 code analysis tools, including open-source, customized, commercial, and AI-based solutions. This comprehensive strategy not only saves costs and time but also alleviates the stress associated with legacy systems. By consolidating multiple code analysis licenses into a single, efficient service, I enable employees to concentrate on their core responsibilities and drive business value.

Join me in experiencing the #NxtLevel of engineering excellence with Shivoham AI.

Senior Director of Engineering

TejaSoft Innovations Pvt. Ltd.

IT Services and Product leadership is under deep stress to scale the revenue and team, however existing #techdebt is unable to make that happen. More so there is so much execution toxicity, that needs to be detoxed to see the entire leadership focus on making the system hero with the products.

TejaSoft is the most modern #MicroOrganisation, #MicroCompany, or #NeoSystem that is specialized & focused in 'Code Therapy'  to ensure & insure the big goals of CxOs to destress them from all the execution engineering pains/fears of the last mile.

We encourage CxOs to Walk-in with Complexity & Walk-Out with simplicity and move to their next big goals to achieve gracefully. 

Our Engagements are as simple as monthly fixed-cost subscriptions, it is no more about people, processes, CVs, estimates, commitments, hours, domains, tech stacks, etc.. it is oversimplified to the outside world as owning & treating the complexity instantly and show daily, weekly & monthly elevated progress of the inside teams too. When the business habits of CxOs change, the rest follows.

#neocompany #microcompany

Founder & Chief Technology Officer

This is the Digital Brand of TejaSoft, exclusively focused on 

Static and Dynamic (runtime) - Code Metrics/Audit to Analyse the Code Complexity, Maintanance Overheads (both Engineering and Hardware) associated with bad code.

TejaSoft can deliver all audit reports specific to Security (VAPT etc), PCI compliance etc. Few of the tools used (both open source and commercial source) are SonarQube,  AppScan, CAST, Coverity, FindBugs,ThreadSafe, DeepScan, PyCharm, Checkmarx, Klocwork and many other lint tools provided by each language build frameworks.

#codemetrics

I do #cleancode uplift & enable teams to clean up their own code mess to build a permanent #productfirst culture.

As a C.E.O, do u see so many engineering complexity walls that are masking you to take the product to the next level?

The solution is in Innovation, Experimentation, R&D to break all the walls with the least time and effort. 

TejaSoft is an only #remote-first consulting #cleancode expert system, making sure customers, all blind & hard spots are uncovered and treated in the good interest of scaling product revenues with the least engineering pains. 

Be it 3 months, 3 years, or 30 years of engineering mess, it does not matter as we keep evolving to a better state in all directions of engineering - be it product management, project management, development, QA, DevOps,  etc. 

Talk to me to know how to play TT with #skill-gaps, #excuses, #escalations, #techdebt & #badcode #no-time #rat-race challenges.

B.T.W are you that leader, tired of talking of bodies, hours, processes, #techdebt, attrition, skill-gaps, and plans that deliver shit at the end!! - are u ready to embrace the next decade's change, hunting for new ways (Old ways won't open new doors) to re-architect your organization, then, we make sure your team changes without inertia & resistance!!

Code Doctor - fix #techdebt broken Products

As an Innovator, I've identified critical challenges in the industry's entry, execution, and exit phases. Companies often struggle with hiring costs/delays, managing complex processes, and to achieve consistent production performance. 

This is evident in the industry average of successful projects and products being less than 30%, with over 90% of startups failing, and total technical debt ever growing to trillions of $.

To handle such challenges, I've introduced and successfully practiced an upstream innovation role: CodeDoctorship. This simple new role ensures that the hired team gets onboard rapidly and that team committed code meets the required cleancode standards without extra time. 

I have been implementing CodeDoctorship in more than 160+ instances of software firefighting, it has increased project success rates by over 70%. This approach handles code complexity and poor engineering practices, junior skill gaps without demotivating developers, as they view CodeDoctorship inputs as a WhiteBox QA team support provided by the system to improve code health for NFRs.

If this innovation resonates with your situation of fire and you're looking to detox and destress, feel free to reach out to me.
