Calgary, Alberta · Fractional CTO & Technology Advisory
For startup founders and growing-business owners about to make a five- or six-figure technology decision with no one senior enough in the room to sanity-check the vendor pitching them.

The Problem
Nobody senior enough is in the room to sanity-check the vendor pitching you. Your IT contractor knows how to keep the lights on, not how to plan three years out. Big firms sell you complexity. Vendors sell you their product. And a full-time CTO costs $200K–$350K a year — money most startups and small businesses don't have to spend on a hire they only need part-time.
So the decisions get made anyway — on a sales rep's timeline, not yours.
How It Works
Pricing is discussed on the call, not published here — every engagement is scoped to what you actually need. Ask directly and you'll get a straight number, not a sales process.
01
No pitch. Just a conversation about where you are and where you want to go.
02
What's working, what's not, and what you actually need. No jargon, no upsell.
03
Specific priorities, realistic timelines, and costs you can actually budget for.
04
Advisory, forward deployed engineering (I embed and build), or a mix. You decide the engagement model.
Case Study
A scroll-driven before/after of a real technology decision — the assessment, the roadmap, and the outcome. Not a static PDF case study.
Read the Case StudyStatus
The interactive case study format is built and live at /case-study/. It currently runs on an illustrative example, clearly labeled as such, until a real client engagement is documented with permission and swapped in.
Why Kevin Evans
My career started in infrastructure — racking servers in data centres, building platforms, and learning how systems actually work at the hardware level. From there I moved into architecting cloud platforms, then applications and AI. I don't just advise on technology — I've built it, across the full stack.
I've been on both sides of the table: the technology leader inside the organization making the decisions, and the trusted advisor helping clients get it right. No vendor agenda — I don't sell licenses or take referral fees.

Also From Us
I was on the AI security panel at YYC DataCon on a Friday. The following Monday, Anthropic published exactly the report that backs up what we argued onstage.
Omarchy raised over $12M and hired a security lead the same month a researcher found real bugs in it. How a fractional CTO would actually evaluate the ask.
A look at what's happening in the Code To Cloud community — the Discord, recent podcast episodes, the Summit, and new episodes coming soon.
