NYC Virtual CIO/CTO Services: IT and Product, One Owner

For New York companies that need one person to own both the internal IT and the product technology, and to build what is missing rather than buy another tool.

The core decision

What NYC virtual CIO/CTO services should include

Many New York businesses buy IT support from one firm and software from another, and nobody owns how the two fit. NYC virtual CIO/CTO services from me put one person on both: the systems your staff use, the product your customers use, the data between them and the cloud underneath, on Eastern hours. San Francisco and New York fractional CTOs bill $275 to $350 an hour; my plans start at $1,500 a month.

In depth

One owner for IT and product

A virtual CIO keeps the business running; a virtual CTO builds what it sells. In a company of 20 to 200 people that is usually one job, and my NYC virtual CIO/CTO services treat it as one: one roadmap, one budget and one person answerable for both.

In depth

Events, ticketing and busy nights

miBoletazo is a bilingual event-ticketing platform with assigned seating, protected checkout, digital tickets and venue scanning. New York venues and promoters live on systems like that, where the busiest hour of the year is the one that cannot fail.

In depth

Client data kept apart by design

New York’s SHIELD Act asks businesses to protect New Yorkers’ private data with reasonable safeguards. For a platform with many clients the strongest safeguard is structural: a tenant boundary that fails closed and permissions that cannot widen it.

Fit

Who this helps

  • Media, events and hospitality companies whose software is the business.
  • Fintech and professional-services firms with client data that must stay separated.
  • Growing companies with five SaaS subscriptions doing one job badly.
  • Founders who need a technology owner before they can hire a full-time CTO.

Scope

What I take on

  • Architecture and stack decisions, written down with their reasons
  • Hands-on development: Laravel, Node.js, Next.js, Python, Flutter and React Native
  • Deployment and cloud operations on AWS, from CI/CD to monitoring and backups
  • Multi-tenant SaaS design: tenant isolation, roles and permissions, per-tenant settings
  • Integrations, data migration and legacy systems, including ones with no API
  • AI features on your own infrastructure when they pay for themselves

Deliverables

What you get

  1. A technology roadmap tied to what the business needs this quarter
  2. Code, infrastructure and releases you own, in your repositories and accounts
  3. A written decision record your next engineer can read
  4. A weekly working session on US hours, plus async updates

Questions and answers

NYC virtual CIO/CTO services: common questions

What do NYC virtual CIO/CTO services cost?

The same four plans as everywhere: $1,500 a month for 20 hours of advisory, $2,800 for 40 hours as a fractional CTO, $4,800 for 80 hours including development, and $8,000 for a full-time equivalent. Ad hoc work is $75 an hour.

Do you work on US hours?

Yes. I work full time on US time zones, remotely, with a weekly working session and the same-day answers a product team needs. I do not have a local office and do not claim one.

Is a virtual CIO different from a virtual CTO?

A CIO looks after the systems the company runs on; a CTO looks after the technology it sells. Small and mid-size companies rarely need two people, so I cover both and say in writing which hours go where.

Do you replace our IT support firm?

Not necessarily. I own the decisions and the architecture; day-to-day support can stay with the firm you have, with clear lines between us.
