Consulting / Fractional CTO

Aaron Ortbals

I am a software engineer and former Head of Engineering with more than 20 years of experience building and scaling software products.

Many small and mid-sized businesses have strong technology ideas but do not have the budget, clarity, or leadership to hire a full-time CTO or engineering team. They know technology could unlock growth, they just don't know the next step or how to execute it safely.

That is where I come in. I work as a fractional CTO and hands-on technical partner, helping businesses turn ideas into real products, modernize their technology, and scale with confidence.
