Your Async CTO. Plan. Build. Ship.
I own your entire development — from architecture and planning to production code. 100% async. No calls, no meetings. Ever.
Wojciech Nowak · 11+ years · 30+ enterprise projects · .NET / Azure / React
What You Get
Technical leadership included
I don't just code tickets — I plan the architecture, break down your project into milestones, and make the technical decisions so you don't have to.
Plan and code in one person
No handoff between a CTO who plans and a developer who builds. I do both — less communication overhead, faster execution.
Zero management overhead
No standups, no status meetings, no hand-holding. You describe the goal — I deliver the roadmap and the code.
100% async — written only
Notion + E-mail. No calls, no video. Ever. Every decision, every technical rationale stays searchable.
Weekly progress, always
Every week you see real production progress — PRs merged, milestones hit. Larger work broken into incremental deliveries.
Pause or cancel anytime
No contracts, no commitment. Pause billing when quiet. Cancel after any billing cycle.
Who You're Working With
Not an agency. Not a consultant who hands you a PDF and disappears. One senior engineer who plans your product and builds it — same person, start to finish, every single month.
- ✓One person = your CTO + your developer. I plan the architecture and write the code. No handoffs, no telephone game.
- ✓Battle-tested across IoT, CRM, and CMS platforms. I've built and shipped production systems in industries where uptime matters.
- ✓Real production experience, not just advice. I ship production code every week on systems where uptime matters.
- ✓You don't need to understand tech to work with me. I translate business goals into working software and explain decisions in plain English.
- ✓AI-assisted workflow — faster than traditional development. You get the output of a full tech team without the overhead of managing one.
I work with non-technical founders who need someone to own their entire tech side. You describe what your business needs. I figure out the how, build it, deploy it, and keep it running. Everything async — written updates, Notion boards, zero meetings.
How It Works
No calls. No proposals. No waiting.
Describe your project
Tell me what you're building, where you are, and what's next. No commitment, no payment. I respond with a written technical analysis in 24h — architecture approach, task breakdown, timeline, and honest fit assessment.
I plan the roadmap
I break your project into milestones and tasks. You see the full technical plan before any code is written. Every decision documented in writing.
I build and ship
One task at a time, deep focus. Working code delivered within 24h for most tasks. Larger features broken into incremental deliveries — you see production progress every week.
You review and steer
Every update has context: what changed, why, and what's next. You review progress and approve direction. Need to change course? Drop a message — I adapt the plan.
What I've Built Recently
Different industries. Different architectures. One person.
The problem
My wife runs Amy Lily Kids, a small kids fashion boutique. She needed one place for her shop, live selling and customer relationships, without stitching together several tools, and she is not technical.
What was delivered
I designed Lilevo as my own product, with her boutique as the first user. I worked with her the way I work with a founder: mapped how she actually sells, defined the scope and architecture, and explained every decision in plain language. It is still in development and not live yet.
The problem
A global manufacturer needed a cloud platform to process millions of events from industrial machines worldwide — real-time telemetry, device health monitoring, and automated alerting when equipment showed signs of failure.
What was delivered
Architected and built the event processing pipeline from scratch: ingestion layer handling thousands of events per second, an enrichment engine correlating raw telemetry with device metadata, and an alerting system that notifies operators before equipment fails.
The problem
Enterprise security teams needed to assess the cybersecurity posture of hundreds of vendors simultaneously — collecting evidence, mapping to compliance frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001, and producing risk scores at scale.
What was delivered
Built core platform modules: an assessment engine that ingests heterogeneous evidence, automates compliance mapping across multiple frameworks, and generates actionable risk scorecards — enabling concurrent evaluation of suppliers across dozens of industries.
The problem
Content creators needed a platform to sell digital products — courses, templates, downloads — without the complexity of existing marketplaces that take 30%+ in fees and bury creators in configuration.
What was delivered
Built the digital product platform end-to-end: storefront, checkout, instant delivery, and a creator dashboard with analytics. Clean architecture that let creators go from sign-up to first sale in minutes, not days.
The problem
A major international airport needed a promotions and discounts engine for its digital content platform — dynamic pricing rules, multi-brand campaigns, and integration with a CMS serving millions of travelers.
What was delivered
Designed and built the complete discounts module: a rule engine supporting percentage, fixed, and conditional discounts; campaign scheduling; and multi-brand support across the airport's portfolio. Integrated seamlessly with the existing CMS architecture.
Every project delivered fully async — written updates, zero meetings. You describe the problem, I handle the rest.
What You Get From Day One
No learning curve. No overhead. Just results.
Day 1
Technical assessment of your project
No discovery phase. No onboarding delay. You get clarity immediately.
Zero
Meetings needed. Ever.
Weekly written updates in plain language. Every decision documented.
100%
IP ownership is yours
Every line of code, every document, every decision — transferred to you.

How I Deliver in 24h
I use Claude Code — an AI coding agent — as part of my daily workflow. Same way senior devs use linters and static analysis, but an order of magnitude more powerful.
AI handles the mechanical work
Navigating large codebases, writing boilerplate, generating test cases, finding all usages of a function across dozens of files — what used to take hours now takes minutes.
Senior judgment stays human
Architecture decisions, code review, edge case identification — still mine. Claude Code is the same category as GitHub Copilot, but more capable. Every delivery has my name on it.
More time on architecture and planning
Because the mechanical work is faster, I spend more time on what actually matters for you: the right architecture, the right breakdown, the right technical decisions.
Every task is planned, reviewed, tested, and shipped by a senior engineer. AI accelerates execution — judgment, architecture, and quality are mine.
Why Not Hire a CTO + Dev Separately?
Fractional CTO who plans → senior dev who builds → handoff meetings → context lost → scope drift. Or: one person who does both. Async.
| Async CTO | CTO + Dev Hire | Agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | From $7,500/mo | $15–25k/mo (fractional CTO) + dev team | $40–80k per project |
| Time to first delivery | Days | 2–3 months (recruit → onboard) | Weeks (scoping → kickoff) |
| Planning + execution | One person, zero handoff | CTO plans, devs build — handoff friction | PM plans, devs build — handoff friction |
| Management overhead | Zero — async, written only | 1:1s, standups, reviews, Slack | Calls, status updates, reports |
| Commitment | Cancel anytime | Contract, severance risk | Fixed scope, change orders |
| Continuity | Same person, every task | CTO + dev turnover risk | Team rotation |

What People I've Worked With Say
Business owners and engineers who have worked with me, in their own words, with their names.
“Wojciech impressed me with his ability to take on complex technical challenges, work independently, and turn ideas into solid, practical solutions. Starting a new IoT platform requires making the right architectural choices and dealing with uncertainty — areas where he has done a great job. Skilled, reliable, and someone I would gladly work with again.”
Jon Hofmann
General Manager · ESAB Digital Solutions
“I'm not technical, and I run a kids fashion boutique. Wojciech is building Lilevo, a commerce platform for kids fashion, with my shop as its first user. He started by learning how I actually sell and what takes my time, then turned it into a plan explained in plain language. It isn't live yet, but every step is written down, so I always know what's done and what's next.”
Wioletta Nowak
Head · Amy Lily Kids · Lilevo's first user (Wojciech's wife)
“Wojciech takes ownership of a problem from start to finish. He asks the right questions, proposes an approach, flags early when something needs a decision, and then delivers what was agreed. He doesn't need to be managed.”
Rafał Ferenc
Head · Inicore
“Working with Wojciech was straightforward. He kept me updated in writing, so I knew where things stood without having to chase him, and he explained technical decisions in plain language, which matters when you're not an engineer yourself.”
Jakub Ponikarczyk
CEO · Autentiko
“Wojciech knows our platform well and picks up new tasks without needing to be onboarded again. His code follows the existing patterns, and his pull requests explain the reasoning behind each change, so the rest of the team can review it and build on it easily.”
Paweł Adamski
Principal Software Engineer · Heathrow Express
Why Async Works Better
Technical leadership doesn't need meetings. It needs clear thinking, documented decisions, and consistent execution.
You don't manage me
11+ years of senior experience. No hand-holding, no standups, no check-ins. You describe the goal — I deliver the plan and the code.
Every decision in writing
Architecture decisions, trade-offs, rationale — all documented. Searchable, linkable, permanent. No "what did we agree on that call?" moments.
No timezone bottleneck
New York to Stockholm — work crosses timezones without calendar coordination.
Your time stays yours
No syncs, no status meetings. You review PRs and steer direction on your own schedule.
Who Is This For?
Perfect fit
Non-technical founders with a product idea or early product
You know what you want to build but need someone to own the technical side — architecture, planning, and code.
Founders burned by agencies or freelancers
You've spent $50k+ on dev teams that didn't deliver. You need a senior technical partner who owns the outcome, not just hours.
Companies without a CTO
You need technical leadership and execution but can't justify a $200k+ CTO hire. Get both in one subscription.
Teams that value async
Everything in writing: Notion, email. No syncs, no standups, no calendar coordination. Your time stays productive.
Existing products needing technical direction
You have a codebase but no one to make architectural decisions, plan migrations, or set technical strategy.
Not a fit
Need daily standups or video calls
Everything is written — Notion and email. If real-time calls are essential to your workflow, a traditional CTO hire may be a better fit.
Need a full dev team in parallel
One senior person — planning and coding. If you need 5 developers working simultaneously, an agency or a full dev shop is a better choice.
Need emergency or on-call support
Async CTO is planned, structured work — not incident response. If you need 24/7 uptime monitoring, a DevOps team is the right choice.
Need design or UX research
I handle architecture, planning, and code. Design, UX research, and product discovery are separate specialties.
Looking for a project manager
I own the technical roadmap and build. You own the product vision — I turn it into working software.
Budget under $7,500/month
This is a premium service replacing a CTO + senior dev. $7,500/mo (founding) / $9,500/mo (standard).
FAQ
What does "CTO + development" actually mean?
I do both: I plan your architecture, break down the project into milestones and tasks, AND I write the production code. No handoff between a planner and a builder — one person, zero communication overhead.
How is this different from a fractional CTO?
A fractional CTO advises and plans — then you still need developers to build. I plan AND build. One subscription covers technical leadership and senior engineering execution.
How fast is delivery?
Simple tasks (bug fix, config change): hours. Most work (feature, migration, integration): within 24h. Larger work is broken into incremental PRs — you see production progress every week.
Really no calls? Not even to get started?
Really. Not even pre-sale. Describe your project — I respond with a written technical analysis in 24h. That's a better proof of competence than any call. Every decision stays searchable in writing.
I'm not technical. Will I understand what's happening?
Yes. Every code delivery comes with context written for humans: what changed, why, and what's next. Architecture decisions are documented with trade-offs explained. You don't need to read code — you need to understand direction.
How many tasks or hours do I get per month?
I don't count hours or tickets. Every week you see meaningful production progress — architecture documented, features shipped, milestones hit. The subscription is about consistent output, not billable hours.
Who works on my project?
Me personally. No offshore teams, no juniors — just direct work from a senior engineer with 11+ years of experience. Every piece of code has my name on it.
Can I pause my subscription?
Yes. Pause anytime with a single email. Billing stops immediately. Resume whenever you're ready — your project context stays intact.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, on request. No extra charge.
What if I'm not happy?
7-day fit guarantee: try Async CTO on real work. If the workflow isn't a fit, get 75% back. After that: cancel anytime, no questions asked.
Describe your project. Free.
Tell me what you're building — a new feature, a migration, a product from scratch. I'll respond within 24h with a written technical analysis.
