Hi, I'm Benedikt Martinez Rodriguez
Fractional CTO & Team Builder
Helping early-stage startups and SMBs build, scale, and lead high-performing engineering teams. Bringing polyglot technical expertise with a collaborative, people-first approach.
About Me
Who I Work With
As a Fractional CTO, I partner with early-stage startups and SMBs who need senior technical leadership without the full-time commitment. Whether you're building your first engineering team or scaling to the next level, I bring 7+ years of hands-on leadership experience to help you succeed.
What I Bring
My polyglot technical background spans modern web frameworks, cloud architectures, and diverse technology stacks. But my true strength lies in building and scaling teams—from hiring the right people to fostering collaborative cultures where engineers thrive and deliver exceptional work.
My Approach
I believe in being approachable and collaborative, not just directive. I work alongside your team, rolling up my sleeves when needed while establishing the technical strategy and processes that will carry you forward. Great technology comes from great teams, and great teams come from great culture.
Specialized Expertise
Beyond general team building, I bring specialized domain knowledge that helps me understand your unique challenges. I'm passionate about continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and building systems that not only work today but scale for tomorrow.
