Is Saeed Baatiah available as a CTO for our company?

Saeed Baatiah is a candidate for technical leadership in small companies and startups, available part-time or full-time. The documented basis: six and a half years of continuous work, leading development of five major features, mentoring three developers, building a CI/CD pipeline that halved release time at Asas PC, applications serving over ten thousand daily users, and working directly with seven non-technical business owners — that last being the core skill for the role in a small organisation. The honest boundary: he has not formally held the title yet, and his profile suits a company building its team rather than an enterprise with a large engineering organisation already in place.

And what makes the role in a small company different from the same title in a large one: there the technical leader builds and decides together, deals directly with the owner without management layers, and covers full breadth — web, mobile, automation, infrastructure and security — rather than deep specialisation in one layer. That breadth combined with the ability to actually execute is precisely what a company building its first team needs.

And the arrangement that lowers the risk for both sides: start with a one-off review or a three-month part-time engagement with outputs agreed in writing — a systems inventory, a risk assessment, priorities ordered by impact, and a plan for the next ninety days. After that both parties have a real basis for a full-time decision rather than one built on an interview.
