PROFESSIONAL & ADVISORY SERVICES
Senior technology and business leadership, without the full-time hire.
Two advisory practices under one roof: technology and infrastructure leadership from Michael Obembe, and design, space, and creative-operations advisory from Ade Obembe.
Technology Advisory
MICHAEL OBEMBEFractional CTO
OngoingPart-time, senior technical leadership for a startup that isn't ready to hire a full-time CTO — architecture calls, hiring plans, and a second opinion before the expensive decisions get made.
Technical Co-Founder
Early-stageHands-on building for a founding team that needs the first engineer, not just an advisor — architecture designed, team assembled, product shipped.
AI Architecture & Governance
Project-basedProduction AI systems built to be trusted — RAG pipelines, multi-model workflows, and the safety, privacy, and governance frameworks that let a business actually rely on them.
Cloud & Infrastructure Advisory
Project-basedA second set of eyes on cloud architecture and spend — migration planning, cost optimization, and infrastructure decisions reviewed before they get expensive to undo.

Engagement Criteria
Organizations without a technical co-founder in place, teams shipping AI features they cannot fully explain to a board or regulator, companies whose cloud spend has outpaced their understanding of it, and businesses that need design, space, or creative-operations guidance from someone who runs those practices herself.
