Fractional CTO and technology advisory for US startups

Who this is for in the US

Seed to Series B startups, SaaS and FinTech teams, and operators who inherited a codebase or vendor. Typical asks: first release, delivery that will not hold still, AI on a real workflow, or an audit before a raise.

How collaboration works across time zones

Retained work runs on a weekly cadence with async written decisions. Live sessions are scheduled for overlap with US mornings / Riyadh evenings when needed. You have one named technology owner instead of a ticket queue in another region.

What stays the same

The job is ownership: roadmap, architecture, hiring shape, and delivery standards. Stack choices follow who you can hire and what the business must ship this quarter, rather than what's fashionable.

Questions

Do you work with US companies remotely?

Yes. Owais Talat works remotely with US startups and growing businesses on Fractional CTO, technology consulting, AI, product, and engineering leadership, with scheduled overlap into US business hours.

No. It is senior technology leadership and advisory. Delivery comes from your team, a targeted hire, or a defined build, with clear ownership either way.
