Hands-on engineering & fractional leadershipFractional

Move your project forward. Start one day a week.

The other door onto the same network: for people who would rather talk to a person than write a brief. From there we decide, together, whether and how to go on.

Bring one challenge. Discuss priorities, fit and the next step. No prepared brief needed.

Where we can helpYour challenge

What needs to move forward?

Delivery, technical direction or digital operations. Bring the problem; we can work out the role together. Let’s put it in a brief →

01Forward-deployed engineer

You closed the deal. Now it has to ship.

A senior engineer who works with you, alongside one of your employees, or directly at your customer’s side — whichever the situation needs — with authority to ship production code. Owns the last mile: integrations, legacy data, security review, the workflows the demo never met. What is reusable feeds back into your product.

For software companies delivering at a customer, and for any company with a delivery to unblock.

02Fractional CTO

Make the technical decisions holding you back.

Experienced technical leadership a few days a month. Set priorities, review architecture, decide what to build or buy and help your team hire well.

For founders and teams between technical leaders, or before the first one.

03Fractional CDO — Chief Digital Officer

Turn manual processes into working digital tools.

Choose where digital tools and AI can help the business. Prioritise the investment and work with your people to get the changes adopted. CDO here means Chief Digital Officer.

For companies ready to improve operations, sales or customer experience.

Your first contact is a person — today Enrico; when they are not there, an equivalent. The call is for getting to know each other and deciding whether to go on, and how.

Four ways it can end
  1. welance takes it on — directly, or through welance/directory.
  2. Enrico helps you personally.
  3. An introduction to a freelancer or a tiny studio who can.
  4. A cross-functional team, assembled from those.
Questions, answeredFAQ

What people ask on the first call.

  • Yes. Start with one person one day a week, with scope and availability agreed together. Bring in a specialist or a small team only when you agree that the work needs it.

  • We discuss availability on the call. The start date depends on the scope and the people needed; we confirm it with you before you commit.

  • Fees depend on the person, days and duration. Discuss your budget on the first call and agree a quote before work starts. There is no placement fee or percentage taken from the resulting project.

  • Yes. On site, hybrid or remote, depending on your customer’s needs. They carry your badge, sign your customer’s NDA, and your account team stays out of infrastructure negotiations.

  • Engineers, designers and leads we have worked with, and people they recommend. We choose for your specific challenge; you meet the people before deciding.

  • We discuss that openly. Another team, an internal solution or waiting may make more sense. The first conversation helps both sides decide.
