If you're a CTO, Head of Engineering, or Technical Co-founder at a SaaS company, you're likely facing these challenges:

1. Ensuring your platform's security and reliability.
2. Balancing innovation with operational efficiency.
3. Staying ahead in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
4. Managing complex software projects with precision.
5. Aligning technology strategy with business goals.

Whether these challenges are keeping you up at night or are just a nagging concern, their significance cannot be understated in the fast-paced SaaS industry.

Here's why this is crucial:

In the SaaS world, your software's reliability and innovation are not just operational necessities. 

They can make or break your business.

Here's where our services make a pivotal difference:

1. Penetration Testing: Our comprehensive penetration testing goes beyond standard protocols to uncover vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, ensuring your software remains impregnable.

2. Load Testing: We simulate high-traffic conditions to guarantee that your software scales seamlessly, maintaining performance and reliability even under stress.

3. Software Development: Our team crafts customized software solutions that align perfectly with your unique business requirements, enabling you to outpace competitors and innovate efficiently.

By partnering with us, you're not just solving current problems; you're preemptively positioning your SaaS platform for future success.

But why take this step? Here’s what it means for you:

1. Enhanced Security Posture: Stay ahead of cyber threats, protecting your reputation and client trust.

2. Uninterrupted Growth: Scale confidently, knowing your infrastructure can handle growth spurts.

3. Tailored Innovation: Implement solutions that speak directly to your unique business challenges and opportunities.

The choice before you is clear:

A - Continue battling these challenges with conventional methods, risking security lapses and scalability issues.

or

B - Collaborate with us to secure, scale, and innovate your SaaS platform, turning potential vulnerabilities into your strongest assets.

Take your time - let me know which one it is.

A or B.

If you decide B - DM me ‘i’m ready to go’ and let’s do this. 

Speak soon.

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.

Dear Network, we need your help 🙏🏼

Pure Web Foundation is building an open-sourced Pure Design System.
PDS is a layered, standards-based way to kickstart web app projects without vendor lock-in and without runtime dependencies.

The Three Layers of PDS (all optional):

🎨 Styles
- Deterministic global CSS generated from a single JavaScript config (your SSoT)
- Zero-specificity architecture using :where()
- Usable as plain CSS files or via AdoptedStyleSheets
- “Live” mode with automatic injection for rapid testing
- Works with any HTML, any framework
- CLI tooling for static asset generation with zero runtime dependency

🚀 Progressive Enhancements
- Selector-based automatic upgrades to semantic HTML
- Add ultra-light functionality where a full component would be overkill
- Works through both Light DOM and Shadow DOM
- No framework, no black box runtime, no polyfills

🧩 Lazy-loaded Web Components
- Auto-defined on first encounter (or predefined - your choice)
- 100% optional
- Play nicely alongside ANY UI library


ℹ️ We’re currently in closed BETA. If you’re interested in helping, testing, or contributing, let us know.

We're also looking for individuals and organizations who want to help us spread the word.

The PDS initiative was sparked during actual conversations in startups about the perceived benefits of the underlying stacks many AI-based tools like Lovable and UX Pilot use. 

In a world where bloated frameworks and utility-class-driven HTML corruption seems to be the norm, we’re creating a real alternative.

An alternative for those who understand the long-term tech debt behind those choices, and who want sustainable, standards-based solutions instead.
