About

I plug into teams as a senior technical operator - planning the roadmap, hiring the right engineers, and shipping the work across fintech, crypto, and AI.

Before any code is written I scrutinize your idea from every angle, challenge assumptions and question every detail - because the devil is in the details. The cost of missing one after your Series A is measured in quarters, not sprints.

Services

Five ways I show up for founders.

Pick the one that sounds like this week.

Most popular

Fractional CTO

Senior engineering oversight, no full-time hire. Architecture reviews, hiring, and a clean SDLC - so your team ships and the roadmap holds up under investor or enterprise scrutiny.

Call me when

  • You need a senior technical voice but a full-time CTO isn't justified yet
  • Your team ships, but the roadmap won't survive the next raise or audit
  • Investors or enterprise buyers are asking questions you can't answer alone

Web3

Smart contracts, tokenization, and exchanges on EVM chains. Account abstraction, oracles, audits, and crypto UX non-technical users can operate without a tutorial.

Call me when

  • You're launching a token or on-chain product and can't afford to get it wrong
  • You need contracts reviewed before mainnet, not after
  • Your wallet flow is losing real users at onboarding

Automation & AI

CI/CD, internal tooling, and AI rollout that actually sticks. Fewer manual hours, less infra spend - not a refactor for its own sake.

Call me when

  • Your team is doing manual work that AI or a script should be handling
  • You've tried adopting AI tools but nothing is sticking
  • Your CI pipeline is duct tape and hope

Architecture

System design from scratch. Diagrams, trade-off docs, and a reference architecture your team can build against and your investors can read.

Call me when

  • You're starting something new and the wrong foundational choices will hurt to undo later
  • Your team keeps looping on design calls without converging
  • You need an architecture investors or enterprise buyers will sign off on

Audit

A full review of what you've already built: code, infra, data flows, pen-test and load-test. You get a ranked fix list and clear next steps to hand your team or investors.

Call me when

  • The stack that got you to PMF is buckling under traffic or team growth
  • You vibe-coded an MVP and need to know what holds up and what doesn't
  • You're raising or chasing compliance (SOC2, GDPR) and need a clean technical story

Reviews

What founders say.

“Dmytro audited our platform for quality, security, and legal compliance - and delivered far beyond what we expected. His technical depth and hands-on approach impressed us enough that we brought him on as CTO. One of the best decisions we made for BrainStarter.”
Sebastian ChrzaszczSebastian ChrzaszczCEO
“Dmytro led our development team with exactly the discipline and ownership you want in a technical leader. Calm under pressure, sharp with stakeholders, and relentless about quality. He sets the bar high for himself and lifts everyone around him.”
Thomas ZizlspergerThomas ZizlspergerIT Director
“Dmytro doesn't just build what you ask - he thinks through edge cases you haven't considered and comes back with real solutions. We worked together for over a year remotely and he was consistently reliable, proactive, and technically sharp. I'd recommend him without hesitation.”
Chirag MehtaChirag MehtaCTO
“Dmytro brings rare energy and ownership to every problem he touches. He doesn't stop until it's done right, rallies the team, and communicates with clarity across continents and time zones. Genuinely a pleasure to build with.”
Renee DionRenee DionIT Director
“Dmytro is a rare kind of technical leader - he researches before he acts, combines deep knowledge with genuine creativity, and always builds solutions with room to scale. His architecture decisions are structured and well-documented, and he genuinely invests in the people around him. A real asset to any serious project.”
