Services

Fractional CTO

Part-time, senior technology leadership for companies that need it but can't justify — or don't yet need — a full-time CTO. Typical work: technology strategy and roadmapping, architecture oversight, build-vs-buy and vendor decisions, hiring and team structure, and technical credibility for fundraising conversations.

Technology Advisory

An experienced second opinion on the decisions that are expensive to get wrong. Retainer-based counsel for founders and executives on scaling, platform direction, delivery risk, and engineering organization design.

Solution Architecture & Audits

Independent architecture reviews and codebase audits: where the system stands, where it breaks under growth, and what to fix first. Also available for troubled-project rescue — stabilizing delivery and putting a credible plan back on the table. Core stack: .NET / C#, Angular, MSSQL, Azure, distributed systems.

AI-Assisted Development Adoption

Your team has AI coding tools. Getting real leverage out of them is a leadership and architecture problem, not a licensing one. Advisory on rolling out AI-assisted development across an engineering org: coding standards for the AI era, context engineering, evaluation, and the guardrails that keep quality up while velocity goes up.

Dedicated Development Teams

Need builders, not just advice? I assemble and lead dedicated development teams from my vetted network of programmers — you get a managed team with senior delivery leadership built in, without the hiring risk. From a single developer to a full cross-functional team, with architecture oversight included.

Custom Software Development

Need a system built, not just advised on? End-to-end design and delivery of business software — web applications, backend services and APIs, database design, and integrations — built on the Microsoft stack by a senior-led team. Two ways to engage: lump sum — a fixed price against fixed, agreed requirements, with clear milestones; or time and materials — only within an established dedicated development team. Every build starts with a paid discovery before any full-project commitment.

Development Management & SDLC Improvement

When the problem isn't the people but the process. Diagnostics of your development lifecycle — planning, estimation, code review, testing, releases — followed by hands-on improvement of delivery flow, quality gates, metrics, and team collaboration. Available as a one-time diagnostic, a fractional management role, or a recovery engagement for troubled projects.

Technologies

Deepest on the Microsoft stack — the platform behind most of my 13+ years:

• Languages & frameworks: C#, .NET / .NET Core, ASP.NET Core, TypeScript
• Cloud & DevOps: Microsoft Azure, Azure DevOps, GitHub (Copilot, Enterprise), TFS
• Data: Microsoft SQL Server, Redis
• Platforms: Windows Server, PowerShell

Also in the toolbox: Angular, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Java, Go, MySQL, Oracle PL/SQL, Apache Cordova, Android.

Availability & markets

Engagements are remote, with clients in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. Available Monday–Friday, 17:30–20:00 CET, and Saturdays by arrangement — the evening window overlaps the US business day (roughly 11:30–14:00 US Eastern). Full-time offshore or outsourced engagements are considered, with availability switching to full-time hours in that case.

Engagement rates are available on request — ask for a financial offer tailored to your situation.

Industry exclusivity

Scopico works with one client per industry at a time. Your competitors will never be clients — the advice you get is undivided.
