Technology Leadership, Without the Full-Time Overhead
Fractional CTO and technology consultancy for businesses that need strategic technical guidance, practical problem solving, and systems that stand the test of time.
What I Do
Flexible engagement models tailored to where you are and where you want to be.
Fractional CTO
Strategic technology leadership on a flexible basis. I embed with your team to set technical direction, evaluate architecture, mentor engineers, and align technology decisions with business goals — without the commitment of a full-time executive hire.
Technology Consultancy
From systems architecture and cloud infrastructure to digital transformation, team building or management and vendor evaluation. I bring clarity to complex technical decisions, helping you build scalable, reliable solutions that drive real business value.
Problem Solving
Complex technical challenges demand creative, disciplined thinking. Whether it's legacy modernisation, performance bottlenecks, security concerns, or integration headaches — I diagnose root causes and deliver practical solutions.
Built on Breadth, Driven by Depth
I'm Adam Macdowall — a technology consultant and fractional CTO with deep experience spanning infrastructure, cloud architecture, distributed systems, and enterprise technology.
My approach is rooted in clarity, rigorous execution, and long-term thinking. I've worked across industries and technology stacks, from startups finding product-market fit to established enterprises modernising their tech foundations.
I believe the best technology decisions are the ones you won't need to revisit in six months. Whether I'm working as an individual contributor, a trusted advisor, or leading a technical team, I focus on building systems that are robust, maintainable, and aligned with where your business is heading.
How I Work
A structured yet flexible approach that adapts to your needs.
Discover
Deep-dive into your current technology landscape, business objectives, and team capabilities. I listen before I prescribe.
Strategise
Develop a clear technical roadmap aligned with your business goals. Prioritise what matters most and define measurable outcomes.
Execute
Roll up sleeves and deliver. Whether guiding your team or hands-on building, I focus on pragmatic, high-impact implementation.
Iterate
Technology evolves, and so should your approach. Continuous evaluation ensures your systems stay aligned with changing needs.
