Many deliver.
Few keep watch.
Many can code. Few stay after launch. I design, build, ship and make it visible, and every month I show you the numbers.

Technical audits and fractional CTO: what you get
Technical audits and fractional CTO services for SMEs, startups and non-technical founders in Switzerland, by a freelance developer based in Mies (Vaud), co-founder and CTO of Orizn. The right technical calls at the right time: a jargon-free assessment, a costed roadmap and vendors challenged on your behalf.
The offer is for leaders who must decide without being technical: choosing a vendor, taking over a project that is slipping, preparing a fundraise, choosing between a rewrite and an evolution. It is also for teams that have developers but no technical leadership.
You get an honest picture of your stack, team, vendors and technical debt, a clear ranking of what can break, what costs and what can wait, and a sequenced, budgeted roadmap you can defend in front of investors. As a fractional CTO, two days a month and a monthly committee settle decisions and record them, from CHF 2,400 a month.
The work runs in six steps: assessment, risks and priorities, costed roadmap, managed execution, monthly committee, then follow-up. Every month, a report gives progress, figures and decisions taken. Between committees, a reply is guaranteed within 24 hours.
I work remotely and by video call across Switzerland and France, and on site in Geneva by appointment, when the project requires it and as far as possible.
YOUR QUESTIONS
How much does a fractional CTO charge?
Here, the fractional CTO format starts from CHF 2,400 a month for two days a month, monthly committee included. The fee then depends on the number of days, the size of the team to steer and the vendors to manage. A one-off technical audit can also come first, before any regular engagement.
What is the role of a CTO?
The CTO, or chief technology officer, owns a company’s technical decisions: architecture, choice of tools and vendors, security, hiring and roadmap. The CTO turns leadership goals into a realistic, costed technical plan, then oversees its execution, reporting in terms non-technical people understand.
What is a fractional CTO?
A fractional CTO is a technical director who works for you a few days a month, without being a full-time employee. The role covers the same decisions as an in-house CTO, architecture, vendors, priorities, scaled to your needs. The typical format is two days a month, from CHF 2,400 a month.
When should you get a technical audit?
A technical audit makes sense before a fundraise or an acquisition, when a project slips on time or budget, when you change vendors, or when an application becomes hard to evolve. It gives an honest picture of what exists and a costed list of priorities, without jargon.
