Dan Kuhn · Fractional CTO · Chicago
Engineer. Entrepreneur.
Operator. Builder.
I'm a fractional CTO. I work with founders and engineering teams on the calls where senior experience pays — architecture, hiring, scale, the decisions that are hard to undo.
Software, leadership, and shipped product — board to keyboard and back: AI rollouts across multiple engineering teams, a data and analytics consultancy I co-founded serving Fortune 1000 clients and spun a product out of, the engineering behind twenty thousand connected devices, and two US patents in turbine design. The full arc

The point of fractional isn't that I'm cheaper than a full-time hire. It's that you don't need one yet — what you need is senior experience for the calls that matter.
