I help software teams move faster
and make better technical decisions
I'm Will Forty — a Fractional CTO combining senior engineering leadership with practical AI workflows. Two decades shipping production systems across fintech, banking, and AI.
Two productised entry engagements, each fixed-scope and fixed-price. Both convert naturally into an ongoing Fractional CTO retainer if the fit is right.
