Fractional Software Engineering Leadership
Unsticking Teams Through Engineering Rigor and Collaboration
When to Bring Me In
Complex technical challenges have your team stuck or divided
Drowning in operational burdens with no clear path to improvement
Critical debugging missions keep expanding with no resolution in sight
Deployment process is causing pain, delays, or reliability issues
My Approach
Technical Depth That Cuts Through Complexity
- Systematic debugging of "haunted" codebases—large, long-running, highly coupled, business-critical systems where institutional knowledge has been lost
- Automation that transforms painful, error-prone processes into repeatable, junior-friendly workflows
- Clear-eyed application of engineering practices that match your team's real needs, not ideological purity
Collaborative Leadership That Builds Capability
- Breaking decision paralysis through structured facilitation when stakes are high
- Transferring systematic debugging approaches through deliberate pairing
- Creating shared understanding across stakeholders to align technical and business priorities
Do you need someone who has Seen Some Shit in large, long-running, highly coupled, business critical code bases? Hire Caroline.
