// about me

I'm Ashmil. I build products.

Engineer, fractional CTO, and the person founders call when they need to go from idea to shipped product — fast.

Technology should accelerate founders, not slow them down.

I started myfractionalcto because I saw too many brilliant founders stuck. They had the idea, the audience, and the drive — but no way to build the product. Agencies wanted $50K and 6 months. Freelancers disappeared mid-project. And hiring a full-time CTO at $200K wasn't an option for a pre-revenue startup.

My vision is simple: every non-tech founder deserves access to CTO-level thinking and engineering — without the CTO-level price tag. I want to be the technical partner that helps you ship fast, learn from real users, and build something that actually matters.

From engineer to fractional CTO

Started as an Engineer

Began my career deep in full-stack development, building production systems at scale. Learned that great engineering isn't about the fanciest tech — it's about solving real problems.

Built for Startups

Moved into the startup world where speed matters more than perfection. Learned to ship MVPs in weeks, not months. Discovered that the best products come from tight feedback loops with real users.

Discovered AI-Powered Development

Embraced AI tools early and built a workflow that 10x'd my output. Started shipping complete products in 2 weeks that used to take months. Realized this was a superpower founders needed access to.

Launched myfractionalcto

Combined deep engineering expertise with startup speed and AI-powered development into a fractional CTO service. Now I help founders turn their ideas into live products faster than they thought possible.

How I think about building products

Ship First, Perfect Later

The best product strategy is getting something real into users' hands. I optimize for speed-to-market with a clean foundation that you can iterate on.

Architecture Matters

Fast doesn't mean sloppy. I build with clean architecture, proper patterns, and production-ready infrastructure from day one. Your MVP should scale when you need it to.

Think Like a Founder

I don't just write code — I think about your business. Every technical decision is filtered through the lens of what helps you find product-market fit and grow.

What I stand for

Radical Transparency

No hidden fees, no scope creep surprises. You'll always know exactly where your project stands, what's next, and what it costs.

Speed as a Feature

In startups, time is the most expensive resource. Every decision I make is optimized to get you to market faster.

Founder-First Thinking

Your business goals drive the technical decisions, not the other way around. I build what moves the needle for your startup.

Long-Term Partnership

I don't just build and disappear. I stay involved to help you find product-market fit, iterate based on user feedback, and make smart growth decisions.
