A senior technology partner without the cost of a full-time CTO.
Algoramming acts as a fractional CTO and outsourced technology partner from Dhaka, Bangladesh for companies across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the US, the UK, and Australia. You get senior architecture, hiring, and delivery guidance, the strategic weight of a CTO without the full-time cost, on a monthly retainer you can scale up or down.
We sit beside founders and operators as a long-term technology partner, picking the stack, hiring the team, setting the standards, and making the calls that compound.

Specialisms
3 focused ways we deliver tech partnership.
One senior team, one playbook, applied to the specialism your project actually needs. Each opens a full brief of its own: outcomes, deliverables, and the questions teams ask before signing.
A long-form view of what this service line actually means in practice, written for the people who buy it and the people who will live inside the product after launch.
Covered end to end4
01
Fractional CTO and technology partnership without a full-time hire
Tech partnership and consultation is what you reach for when the business has outgrown vibes-driven engineering decisions but is not yet ready for a full-time CTO. We sit beside founders and operators as a long-term technology partner, picking the stack, calibrating the hiring loop, setting the engineering standards, and making the calls that compound over years rather than weeks. The engagement is not a one-off audit. It is an ongoing relationship that ranges from twelve to twenty-four months, with a quiet handover plan for the day you do hire a permanent technology leader.
02
Architecture, hiring, and vendor decisions you can defend
We start by writing down what is true. The team, the code, the cloud bills, and the roadmap all get audited and documented inside the first month. From there, we propose a 90-day plan of unglamorous, high-leverage moves nobody had time to make. Architecture decision records replace tribal knowledge. Hiring loops get scorecards, calibrated interviewers, and a structured debrief so the team grows without diluting the bar. Vendor and build-versus-buy calls get made on evidence rather than vendor decks, and the decisions are written down for the next quarter to inherit.
03
A technology partner that builds, not just advises
The difference between a fractional CTO listing and our tech partnership engagement is that we bring an embedded team behind the partnership. When the call is build, design, engineering, and platform support are ready to go. When the call is buy, we run the vendor selection. When the call is hire, we run the loop. Cycle time, defect rate, hiring conversion, and infrastructure cost per active user sit on a dashboard we agree with you before we start. We measure ourselves against the same numbers you measure the company against.

How we engage
Three shapes, one quality bar.
Match the engagement model to where your problem is today. The team, the cadence, and the standards do not change between shapes.
01 · Engagement
Project
Fixed scope · fixed price
Discover, design, build, launch, and hand over. One number, one date, one team accountable from kick-off to keys.
Best for: Clear brief, real deadline.
02 · Engagement
Retainer
Monthly · rolling backlog
A fixed senior allocation each month against a re-ranked backlog. Ship what matters every two weeks and review the plan together.
Best for: Priorities shift faster than annual plans.
03 · Engagement
Embedded
Per-engineer · monthly
We embed in your Slack, your repos, and your sprint board, on-camera daily, treated as your team for the duration.
Best for: In-house engineers who need senior horsepower.

Common questions
Things teams ask before signing.
Have a different one? Send a single email; we usually answer within a business day.
Within your competitive set, yes. We never advise two companies who would land on the same investor pitch slide.
02How do you measure your own performance?
Cycle time, defect rate, hiring conversion, infrastructure cost per active user, and incident frequency. We agree the dashboard before we start and review it monthly.
03How much does a fractional CTO cost compared with a full-time hire?
A fractional CTO is a monthly retainer sized to the hours you actually need, so it is a fraction of a senior full-time salary plus equity and benefits. You scale it up or down as the business changes. We agree the scope and the number before we start.
04Fractional CTO or technology consultant, which do we need?
A consultant hands you a report and leaves. A fractional CTO owns decisions with you over time: architecture, hiring, and vendor calls, plus an embedded team to build when the call is build. If you need someone accountable for outcomes rather than advice, you need the partner model.
05Can you provide a fractional CTO for a team outside Bangladesh?
Yes. We work from Dhaka, Bangladesh with growth-stage teams across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the US, the UK, and Australia. We overlap working hours for standups, planning, and the decisions that cannot wait.
06What does a fractional CTO actually own versus advise on?
We own the calls that compound: the architecture direction, the hiring loop and bar, vendor and build-versus-buy decisions, and engineering standards. We advise on day-to-day execution and leave your existing leads to run their teams. The split is written down at the start so nobody is guessing.
