Rob Gough
Fractional CTO in Manchester. I help founders and companies make sound technical decisions — what to build, who to hire, and what to actually do about AI.
I also design, build and run my own products, and I write about all of it.
Open to new clients. → How I can help
Consulting
Fractional CTO work for founders and teams who need senior technical judgment, not a full-time hire.
What I do →Projects
Products I design, build and run solo — StayUpfront, Dictator, Weighted Down. The day job that keeps the consulting advice grounded.

Code, products, weight, and whatever else is on my mind — the blog goes back to 2022.
