Fractional CTO for Education & EdTech
Senior technology leadership on a fraction of a full-time hire, strategy, architecture, and a team that ships.

- →Shipping AI-powered learning features (tutoring, marking, personalisation) that are genuinely useful
- →Passing the security and data-protection due diligence schools and trusts run, and protecting children's data
- →Integrating cleanly (SSO, MIS/SIS, LTI/OneRoster) and staying reliable through term-start spikes

How we work in education & edtech
