Andrew Fam

Intuitive UX · Fractional CTO · Singapore

Senior engineering leadership, without the full-time hire.

Twelve years as a hands-on CTO and co-founder, across AI, fintech, geospatial and enterprise SaaS. I've shipped consumer platforms at regional scale, compliance systems inside global enterprises, and security tooling for financial institutions. I still write the code I architect.

Engagements

Where I'm useful

No technical co-founder

Zero to one

I set the architecture, build the first version, and get it into production — then hand a clean codebase to the team you hire.

Post-funding

Scale and structure

Hiring, review standards, CI/CD, and the architecture calls that stop a prototype buckling once real load and real customers arrive.

Established business

Platform builds

Turning a business process into software: no-code platforms, regulator-facing systems, and analytics that survive enterprise procurement.
