Fractional CTO leadership for teams building with AI.
Turn AI strategy into shipped software.
DevCraft helps North American founders and product teams plan, build, and de-risk software through fractional CTO leadership, AI implementation strategy, rapid MVP development, team enablement, and technical due diligence.
Trusted by startups and scale-ups across Canada
The rules of building software have changed. We changed with them.
For five years, we led development teams building enterprise software (ERPs), trading platforms, and e-commerce systems. Projects that took teams of 8–12 developers and 12–18 months to deliver.
Then AI changed everything.
We built DrGreat Platform, a fully production-ready platform serving dentists across Canada solo, in weeks, using Claude and Vercel. No offshore team. No months of sprints. Just one senior CTO with the right AI tools.
That experience taught us something: the future of tech leadership isn't about managing large teams. It's about knowing exactly what to build, which AI tools to use, and how to ship fast.
We said goodbye to projects that needed the old model. We doubled down on what works now.
Four ways we accelerate your business
Strategy, execution, enablement, and assurance | all AI-native.
AI Implementation Strategy
Best for leaders who need to decide where AI will create measurable operational or product value. We assess workflows, data, risk, and technical constraints, then deliver a prioritized implementation roadmap and train the team responsible for it.
Rapid MVP with AI
Best for founders who need to validate a product with real users before scaling a team. We scope, architect, build, deploy, document, and hand off a production-ready MVP using an AI-native delivery process.
AI Enablement for Teams
Best for product and operations teams that want repeatable, responsible AI workflows. We configure tools, document working practices, establish review and risk controls, and train your people to continue independently.
Tech Due Diligence
Best for investors, acquirers, and leadership teams making a consequential technology decision. We independently assess architecture, code quality, scalability, dependencies, AI readiness, delivery risk, and team capability.

Vibe coding is real. Scaling it requires expertise.
Yes, anyone can prompt an AI to write code now. But there's a massive gap between a prototype that works on your laptop and a product that serves thousands of users reliably.
Vibe coding gets you from 0 to 1. Senior technical leadership gets you from 1 to 100. Architecture decisions, security, performance, data modeling, CI/CD, monitoring: these still require deep expertise.
The difference now is that an experienced CTO with AI tools can do the work that used to require an entire team. That's exactly what we do.

Common questions
Answers for founders and product teams evaluating AI and technical leadership
What does an AI-native fractional CTO do?
An AI-native fractional CTO provides part-time technology leadership while actively using modern AI tools to validate ideas, guide architecture, improve delivery, and ship software. DevCraft combines strategic CTO guidance with hands-on implementation, so recommendations are tested against real product work.
Who is DevCraft Solutions best suited for?
DevCraft works best with North American founders, startups, growing businesses, and product teams that need senior technical direction, an AI implementation plan, a production-ready MVP, team enablement, or an independent technical risk assessment.
Can DevCraft build an AI MVP, not just advise on one?
Yes. DevCraft can take an idea from technical scope and architecture through implementation, deployment, documentation, and handoff. The goal is working software that can be tested with real users, not a slide deck or disposable demonstration.
How do you decide where AI should be used in a product or workflow?
We begin with the business problem, available data, operational constraints, risk, and expected return. We recommend AI only where it improves speed, quality, cost, or user experience, and we identify areas where deterministic software or human review remains the safer choice.
What is included in technical due diligence?
A technical due diligence engagement can examine architecture, code quality, scalability, security risk, AI readiness, dependencies, delivery process, and team capability. The output is a practical assessment of strengths, risks, priorities, and questions that require further investigation.
Does DevCraft work outside Toronto?
Yes. DevCraft is based in Toronto and works remotely with founders and product teams across Canada and the United States.
