Fractional CTO · Available Now

Vibe coding speed,
FAANG/MANGOS quality.

Most teams get one or the other. AI velocity that ships slop, or pro grade work that ships slow. I help teams get both. Fractional CTO for founders. Weeklong Agentic Workflows Training for engineering teams.

// 01 The gap

AI ships fast. AI ships slop. Both are true.

Most of what AI produces, a senior engineer can’t use. Three days into a build feeling great, then realizing none of it holds up. The gap between the velocity and the quality is where most of my work lives.

// 02 The bill

You're already paying for this

Thousands a month on Claude per developer. Maybe Cursor on top. Maybe more. And your shipping velocity hasn’t moved.

I know why. I know how to fix it. Three weeks of working with your team, you’ll ship 3x faster and 2x better, using the tools you’re already paying for.

Ways to work with me

Fractional CTO

Scoped or hourly

For founders and CTOs who need a senior brain on the calls they would lose sleep over alone.

What I cover
  1. Strategy. Where to invest, what to kill, and what order to do it in. The bets that are expensive to reverse.
  2. Architecture. The decisions that set your ceiling, reviewed while they are still cheap to change.
  3. Growing the team. What good looks like at each level, how to get your people there, and who you actually need next.
  4. Working across the business. Translating between engineering and sales, finance and operations, so the roadmap reflects what the company needs.

Project scoped. We define the work, agree on outcomes, I bill against scope.

Weeklong Agentic Workflows Training

Five days in your codebase, alongside your team, installing the five pieces below on a real feature.

The five pieces
  1. The Pipeline. Idea to spec to review to ship, run on every feature.
  2. The Agents. Automated senior review on every pull request, before a human.
  3. The Skills Library. Reusable AI skills that compound instead of resetting.
  4. The Ruleset. Your standards, read by every AI tool the team uses.
  5. The Docs. PRD, TDD and checklist templates. Where estimates come from.

All committed to your codebase. Version controlled. Yours permanently.

You leave owning the system, with that feature already shipping the new way. Most teams keep me on for reinforcement hours afterward as it beds in.

AI Built Into Your Product

By engagement

The rare one. Not developers using AI to code faster. A real AI capability inside the product itself, safe to ship: propose, preview, and undo real changes to live customer data, with full history. Most teams do not yet know where to start.

// 04 Why me

Twenty eight years building software. Eight at Google, the last running a product team and a cross org metrics infra team in Developer Productivity. CTO before that on a startup we exited. I left Google last fall to build RiseOhana solo. Along the way, I figured out how to ship 120,000 lines of code a month with Claude while keeping the engineering judgment that got me here.

JENGAI has real customers and a $2M round closing. The product works. What we needed was to level up how our team builds with AI without falling into the slop trap most teams hit at our stage. Min showed up and did exactly that.

First week: codebase mapped, performance wins surfaced, a real AI development process taking shape across the team. He triaged. He taught. He left us with agents and tools that compound.

Senior engineering judgment combined with actual AI fluency is the rarest hire of 2026. Mine is named Min.

// 06 About

Howdy. I’m Min.

Twenty eight years in tech. Three kids in.

I left Google in October 2025 to build RiseOhana, an app that helps families show up for each other in the small everyday ways that compound. I built it. I ship it. I use it. The only honest order to do those things in.

When I am not coding or playing Roblox with the kids, I am usually on a snowboard. I am not good. I am persistent.
