Ship reliable software faster with agent-driven development
With Aukik Aurnab — CTO & Co-Founder, AI Buddy Catalyst Labs
Tech companies know they need to move faster with AI. Most just do not know where to start. I set up agent-driven development pipelines and help engineering teams adopt them through training, consulting, and 1:1 coaching.
Why Fractional CTO for AI-Native Companies?
Scale AI adoption beyond prompt engineering with strategic technical leadership — without full-time commitment
Common Challenges
Your engineering org is stuck at prompt-level AI adoption
AI agents work in demos but fail in production
Infrastructure is not scaling with user growth
No verification system for AI agent outputs in production
Team does not know how to build with agentic development
