Fractional CTO in Las Vegas, NV

A current Las Vegas engagement, not a hypothetical one

This page is based on active work: I’m the Fractional Chief Technology Officer for FNDRS, a Las Vegas-based closed-loop private-equity ecosystem, and have been since June 2025. FNDRS coaches and mentors business owners — preparing them for the single most important transaction of their professional lives, the sale of their business — and runs that whole process as one connected system.

My role has been to provide meaningful leadership and architecture across the entire technology stack. Concretely, I architected, designed, built, and released a full web-based platform that business owners and exit advisors use for a comprehensive, holistic approach to private-equity systems management. And because no serious platform is being built in 2025 without it, I’m ushering the company into the age of AI with practical AI models and use cases woven through the stack.

That’s the difference between this page and a generic “fractional CTO in Las Vegas” listing: it describes a platform that exists, for a real client, that I’m leading right now.

Why a PE exit ecosystem is a serious technology problem

Preparing a business for sale is not a single event — it’s a long, structured process involving the owner, advisors, financial data, operational diligence, and a great deal of sensitive information. Building one platform that holds all of that, for both the business owners going through it and the exit advisors guiding them, means getting the data model, workflow, security, and integrations right.

It’s the kind of system where the technology either compounds the value of the model or quietly undermines it. Owning that — as the senior technologist accountable for the platform the entire business runs on — is exactly what a fractional CTO engagement is for, and exactly what I do for FNDRS.

The Las Vegas / Southern Nevada landscape

Las Vegas anchors Southern Nevada, an economy that has been quietly diversifying well beyond its hospitality reputation:

• Private equity, capital, and business services — Nevada’s business-friendly tax environment (no state corporate or personal income tax) has drawn a deep base of business owners, holding companies, and investment activity. FNDRS sits right in that current.
• FinTech and financial services — a growing cluster of finance and payments companies has followed the capital into the region.
• Gaming, hospitality, and entertainment technology — the industries the city is known for run on some of the most sophisticated transaction and data systems anywhere.
• A rising startup ecosystem — the downtown Las Vegas tech corridor has spent the last decade building a genuine founder community.

The common thread is a dense population of owners and operators — exactly the audience that benefits from senior technology leadership, whether they’re running the company or preparing to sell it.

What a fractional CTO delivers for a Las Vegas firm

The highest-value deliverables for most Las Vegas companies:

1. Full-stack technology ownership — the FNDRS model: strategy, architecture, build, and release, owned end to end.
2. A written technology and AI roadmap — sequenced, board-ready, with practical AI use cases identified and prioritized.
3. Platform architecture and delivery — designing and shipping the system the business actually runs on.
4. Engineering leadership coverage — the senior technical voice on hiring, team structure, and delivery.
5. Vendor and partner evaluation — outside judgment on the major platform, cloud, and AI decisions.
6. Board and executive communication — translating technical progress and risk into business terms.

These mirror the capabilities on the main Fractional CTO services page — substantiated here by a current Las Vegas engagement in which I designed, built, and released the platform myself.

How the engagement works

• Discovery (2–4 weeks): assessment of systems, platform, team, and strategic gaps. Output: a written, prioritized roadmap.
• Ongoing engagement: embedded in the leadership team, weekly exec syncs remote, periodic on-site visits — ranging from technology leadership to leading a full platform build, as the FNDRS work has.
• AI adoption: identifying and shipping practical AI models and use cases as part of the stack, not as a side project.

If you’re a Las Vegas company — founder-led, PE-adjacent, or simply ready to treat technology as a serious asset — the next step is a discovery call.
