About Me
I’m Andy Weir – a Fractional CTO helping scale-ups restore pace and predictability when growth outpaces their systems.
I work with scaling engineering organisations where delivery starts to slip, confidence drops, and the system strains under growth. My focus is on stabilising delivery, unblocking decision flow, and embedding sustainable capability that bridges product and engineering.
Over 20+ years, I’ve led delivery across HealthTech, finance, and high-risk platforms – solving problems where architecture, systems, and team dynamics collide. I operate inside delivery, not outside it – leading from the inside to make change real, practical, and lasting.
When I’m not working on software delivery, I’m skippering Bad Habits – a 28ft racing yacht – or out on the Cornish coast trail running, paddleboarding, or chasing waves. Occasionally, I sit still long enough to read.
Experience
I work with organisations facing delivery drag, legacy risk, and complex team dynamics. From legacy modernisation to platform design, I help teams ship safely, not slowly.
Modernising Legacy Systems
I lead incremental change in high-risk environments – breaking down fragile monoliths, simplifying architectures, and reducing risk without disrupting flow.
Reducing Delivery Friction
I improve feedback loops, clarify ownership, and help teams move from firefighting to focus – so delivery becomes calm, fast, and predictable.
Aligning Tech with Outcomes
I work with engineers, architects, and leaders to make delivery serve the real goals – not just the roadmap. That means technical decisions that hold under pressure, and change that makes sense on the ground.
My Approach
I don’t lead from a slide deck. I lead from the inside – in code, in standups, and in high-stakes delivery cycles where judgment matters most.
Fast Flow Under Pressure
I focus on restoring pace and predictability by shortening feedback loops, clarifying ownership, and unblocking decision flow. My goal is always delivery that holds under pressure – fast, safe, and sustainable.
Grounded in Practice
From APIs to pipelines, I bring deep technical grounding – but never for its own sake. It’s always in service of delivery that works, and teams that grow stronger in the process.
Capability That Sticks
I’m not a dependency. I lead the change, coach the team, and help you reach the point where you can say, “Thanks – we’ve got it from here.”
