Technical leadership that protects your runway and multiplies velocity.
I partner with founders and scale-ups to slash cloud waste by 30-50%, multiply developer throughput 5x to 10x using Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Antigravity, while preserving $80k–$150k+/yr in critical runway. Active engagements capped at 3 companies simultaneously to ensure unbroken executive focus.
Technical roadblocks that limit business growth
Every architecture failure or delivery friction directly hurts EBITDA, churn, and company valuation.
Sprint roll-overs and multi-week lead times choking Go-to-Market?
Mounting backlog and high-risk deployments sabotage product competitiveness. We rebuild your CI/CD delivery pipeline and decouple architecture to drop Lead Time for Changes to under 48 hours.
Surging cloud invoices and database locks under peak concurrency?
Database locking up during marketing campaigns while AWS/GCP bills skyrocket. We execute pragmatic FinOps and resilient microservices, cutting 30% to 50% in cloud waste with 99.99% SLA.
Recurring production outages and slow MTTR damaging customer trust?
Customers spotting outages before your engineering team does. We implement complete observability (APM, distributed tracing, alerting) and automated test suites that slash MTTR from hours to minutes.
Slow senior hiring and onboarding taking over 30 days?
Costly hiring missteps burn hundreds of thousands in capital. I bring C-level interview calibration, accelerate technical onboarding to under 7 days, and mentor incoming Tech Leads.
Team writing code line-by-line without modern AI leverage?
While modern tech companies accelerate, your team writes manual boilerplate. I train and govern your team to multiply throughput by 5x to 10x using Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Antigravity with strict enterprise privacy.

Pablo Winck Winter
CTO at Movvia & Fractional Advisor
I currently lead Technology as CTO at Movvia, where I build and scale high-availability digital platforms and ecosystems for the mobility sector.
My executive approach combines business acumen with deep hands-on expertise in microservices, Cloud FinOps (AWS/GCP), DevOps pipelines, and AI enablement with Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Antigravity.
As a Fractional CTO, I act as an executive catalyst: eliminating technical roadblocks, establishing high-performance processes, and accelerating Product-Market Velocity with optimal capital efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers on Fractional CTO engagements and advisory.
A Fractional CTO acts as your company's executive technology leader on a part-time, high-impact basis. They oversee software architecture, product-engineering alignment, technical leadership mentoring, process governance, and senior hiring, without the hefty fixed salary and equity dilution of a full-time CTO.
Engagements are flexible and tailored to your company's stage: ranging from 5 to 20 hours per week, structured across strategic planning, critical architecture reviews, 1-on-1 sessions with leads, and technical steering. The format is 100% remote with on-demand on-site sessions when beneficial.
All work is governed by a formal consulting agreement with a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and total assignment of intellectual property. All code, architecture designs, and documentation belong 100% to your company.
Traditional consulting delivers an assessment deck and leaves. A Fractional CTO integrates directly with your team, assumes real executive leadership, and partners with you month after month to guarantee actual implementation and measurable business KRs.
