I help growth companies fix what's broken and build what scales.

Irfan Suleman · Technology & Engineering Leader · Fractional CTO

20+ years building digital platforms across APAC and beyond. I work with engineering leaders and founders when technology has become the bottleneck — and they need someone who has done this before.

Your tech got you here. It won't get you there.

Three problems that show up at every growth company, at every stage.

Tech not driving growth

Your platform keeps the lights on but isn't generating the revenue it should. Technology is a cost centre, not a growth engine.

Hiring more isn't helping

You've added engineers but delivery hasn't improved. The problem isn't headcount — it's the system they're working in.

Things break at scale

Architecture decisions made at $1M don't hold at $10M. Every new feature introduces risk you can't afford.

How I help
Platform Design

Redesign your technology to generate revenue, not just support operations. From architecture to product delivery.

Team & AI Transformation

Build engineering teams that ship with speed and confidence. AI-native practices embedded across the whole organisation.

Technical De-risking

Make the architecture decisions that will hold at 10x your current scale. Remove the blockers before they become crises.
