Hi, I'm Rob.
Product-Led Engineering Leader · Fractional or Full-Time CTO · Based in Manchester, UK
I’m a software engineering leader with a strong product mindset and a passion for helping early-stage companies move fast and build right. Most recently, I was Director of Software Engineering at Blume Group and Fletchers Solicitors, where I scaled teams, delivered new digital products, and modernised legacy systems while aligning tech with business strategy.
Now, I work independently — available for short-term consulting, fractional CTO roles, or full-time CTO positions. If you’re validating an idea, building your MVP, or scaling your engineering team, I can help you avoid common pitfalls and move with confidence.
On the side, I built and run giglr.co.uk, a simple gig discovery platform for live music in Manchester.
If you’re a founder or startup team looking for experienced technical leadership — fractional or full-time — I’d love to hear what you’re building.
