Fractional CTO

I help early-stage teams
build great products.

I'm Ken Ono. For almost a decade I've worked hands-on with founders — from architecture and hiring to writing code. I go deep with a small number of clients on hard, interesting problems.


What I do

Hands-on building

Full-stack architecture and development. React, Node, AWS, GraphQL — I ship code alongside your team, not just advise from the sidelines.

Technical leadership

CTO-level strategy for teams that aren't ready for a full-time hire. Technology roadmaps, vendor selection, architecture decisions.

Team building

Recruiting, assessing, and right-sizing engineering teams. I've built high-performing teams from scratch and turned around struggling ones.
