CUSTOM SOFTWARE · FRACTIONAL CTO
I’m Kevin Whelan. I provide custom software development and fractional CTO leadership, helping businesses turn ideas into dependable systems and make confident technology decisions. Hands-on engineering and fractional CTO leadership, with AI as a powerful part of the toolkit.
LET’S TALKCORPORATE EXPERIENCE · DIRECT COLLABORATION
My corporate engineering experience includes production software, APIs, integrations, AWS, and cross-team platform work to improve how services are built, deployed, and maintained. I bring that experience to your application, your existing systems, or the decisions your engineering team needs to make.

START WITH THE VALUE
A product your customers need. Hours returned to your team. A clearer plan for what to build next. The goal is a useful change in how your business works, with software and leadership shaped around that result.
Software should perform the work, not create another place for humans to work. Wherever practical, routine steps happen automatically, information moves through the systems you already use, and people step in for judgment and exceptions.
Reduce re-entry, manual checks, and handoffs so your team has time for work that needs them.
Give customers a focused first version that solves a real problem and creates something you can learn from.
Understand the tradeoffs, choose priorities, and invest in technology with a plan your team can deliver.
TWO WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
A defined scope, a working application, tested integrations, and a plan for deployment and maintenance. Start with an idea, existing software, or an AI prototype.
A prioritized roadmap, technical assessments, and ongoing guidance for the people delivering the work. Get experienced direction without a full-time executive hire.
A HUMAN IN AN AI WORLD
AI is a phenomenal tool for exploring ideas, prototyping, and accelerating implementation. Bring your idea, your existing code, or something you have already built with AI.
Software has to handle permissions, sensitive data, integrations, failures, and changing requirements. Kevin reviews the architecture and code, tests important behavior, and plans for operation after launch.
You get clear recommendations, a defined scope, and an explanation of what has been tested and what still needs attention. Kevin stays your direct contact through the engagement.
