Tech leadership you can build on.

With over ten years of experience in the industry, I help founders and tech teams lead, build and grow with AI.

How I can help

  1. 01

    Lead

    Fractional CTO & interim leadership

    Nobody senior owns your tech? As your fractional CTO, I turn your business goals into a roadmap, hire the team and answer the technical questions investors ask. The last team I led grew from 3 to 12 engineers with zero attrition.

  2. 02

    Build

    Hands-on senior engineering

    Something is slowing your team down: a shaky data pipeline, a codebase nobody wants to touch. I join hands-on, fix it, and leave the code and the team faster than I found them. I've shipped to production in every role, up to Head of Software.

    Teach

    AI enablement & reskilling

    Your team has AI tools and still works the way it did before. My workshops and coaching change that, for technical and non-technical teams. I've led two full-stack bootcamps and organised internal AI hackathons.

How we work together

  1. We talk.

    A free 30-minute call. You tell me where you are and where you want to go. I'll tell you whether I can help, and how.

  2. We shape it.

    Together we define the scope and the way of working: two days a week as your fractional CTO, a focused mission on one specific challenge, or a workshop series for your team.

  3. We get to it.

    I work with you and your team, hands-on from day one.

Who I work with

Founders and tech leaders at startups and growing companies. I focus on companies whose products make things better: in climate and energy, health, education or social impact.

Hi, I'm Namir.

For over ten years I've built software and the teams behind it, from junior developer to Head of Software. I've grown engineering teams, taken products from idea to production, and driven AI adoption across a company. I'm based in Hamburg, work on site or remote, and speak English, German, Spanish and Italian.
