Services
Every engagement is led by Jacob Stewart — a senior engineer with 10+ years of production experience. No hand-offs, no junior developers, no agency overhead.
Fractional CTO
Embedded strategic technical leadership on a part-time or advisory basis. Ideal for seed-to-Series A startups without a technical co-founder, or SMBs undergoing digital transformation who need executive-level engineering judgment without the $200K+ full-time cost.
Engagements typically cover architecture decisions, engineering hiring, vendor evaluation, roadmap planning, technical due diligence, and board-level technical communication. The specific scope is defined per client.
Why Tech Force:
Jacob's Fractional CTO credibility comes from having done the job in practice — not just as a consultant. As a founding engineer at Sunnybrook, he operated as a technical leader across engineering, product, hiring, DevOps, and client success, helping scale the company from zero to 50+ enterprise customers.
