I'm a software engineering consultant / fractional CTO with hands on experience building agentic AI systems for Fortune 500 companies. I've built software for OpenAI, Hulu+, Warner Bros Discovery, and many other companies.
Looking to help non-technical founders who need help building their idea, or help to improve/manage their already existing software.

Hi Michael, I am a software engineer like you. how can I contact you?
Hi Michael! Just following up to see if you're still open to connecting. I'm still looking for a technical co-founder for my startups, 2getherly and Peek > Play. Thanks!
Michael - I have a possible partnership but not exactly the one you describe (but genuine, not me selling to you). Can't find you on linkedin - can we chat somehow?
Hello Michael,
Thank you for your post - I have filled out the form and hope to have peaked your curiosity.
All best,
Dotahn
Thanks for filling it out Dotahn! I'll be reaching out this week so that we can get conected, great to meet you!
Hi Michael,
I just completed the Google form. At this point in my entrepreneurial journey, I'm looking for a technical co-founder and equity partner to help turn both Peek > Play and Togetherly into market-ready products.
I believe both concepts solve meaningful problems, and I'd welcome the opportunity to explore whether our visions and strengths align. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to learn more about either venture.
Best,
Sakhile Sulaiman
Founder, Peek > Play & Togetherly
Hi Sakhile — saw you're looking for a technical partner for Peek > Play and Togetherly. Rather than a long co-founder search, we ship a production-ready web app on your own domain in 7 days for a fixed price ($999-$1,999), including one AI feature, lead capture, and (on the Growth tier) an admin dashboard, CRM and payments — no equity given up. Happy to scope one of the two ideas first and show you what's possible: grahaisystems.com/launch
Thanks Sakhile,
That sounds great idea, I'll be reaching out this week so that we can get connected.
Hi Michael, I just completed the google form. I'm at a stage where I really need a technical partner, hopefully we find a way to collaborate.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
Hi Ella — saw you're looking for a technical partner. Before committing to a co-founder search, it might be worth getting a first version of your idea actually live — we do fixed-price, 7-day builds (from $999) so you can test the market with something real. Details at grahaisystems.com/launch if useful.
Thanks Ella! I'll be reaching out this week so that we can get connected.
Solid case studies, Michael. The non-technical-founder lane is a good one to be in right now.
I come at the same founders from the other side. Principal product designer, 14 YOE at companies like Salesforce, Cisco, CarMax, Staples, and more. I do the UX and interface work that sits on top of builds like the ones you're describing and now ship code more often than ever with AI. I've worked with several fractional CTOs over the years succesfully.
If you ever hit a project where the build is handled but the product needs design or UX work, happy to be a resource. Might be worth keeping each other in mind for referrals where the other half is missing.
Either way, good luck with it. Looks like you've got the track record to back it up.
Thanks! I'll definatley stay connected, can you send me you linkedin or email?
This is a compelling offer for non-technical founders. Having a technical partner who can bridge the gap between business vision and product execution is often one of the biggest challenges early-stage startups face.
Your experience building solutions for major organizations and delivering measurable business outcomes—such as AI systems that generate revenue and software that creates significant operational savings—demonstrates the value of combining technical expertise with a strong understanding of business needs.
For founders with a validated idea but no in-house technical leadership, working with a fractional CTO can help avoid costly mistakes, accelerate development, and ensure the product is built with scalability in mind from day one.
I've seen similar principles applied across digital education platforms, including QuranPakTutors.com, where the right technical decisions are critical for delivering a reliable and scalable user experience.
Wishing you success in connecting with founders and helping turn great ideas into successful products.
