Same senior judgment. Sized to where you are.

GSD is a fractional technology practice and an engineering team, built for mission-driven organizations. The idea is simple. The work that matters deserves technology that works, and the people doing it shouldn't have to choose between senior help and a budget they can live with.

Senior judgment behind every engagement.

Fractional CIO / CTO / VP of Engineering · Co-founder, GSD

I've spent twenty years in engineering, security, and technology leadership, much of it in healthcare and other places where the stakes are high and the rules are strict. I started GSD because the orgs I most wanted to help, the mission-driven ones, deserve the same senior judgment as anyone else, at a price shaped to their budget. On a fractional engagement, that senior judgment is me, directly. On managed services, my GSD team runs the implementation and I hold the senior calls. You always have someone accountable who has actually done the work, and we build so your team can carry it after us.

Our approach

How the work actually runs: senior judgment on every engagement, starting from the outcome, and built so your team needs us less over time.

How we work

Why mission-driven work

Who we choose to build for, and how mission-aligned pricing works without being the pitch.

Why this work

No pitch, no deck. Just a conversation about what you're trying to work out.
