I ship the SaaS your last CTO promised.
I'm Al Emran — a CTO and SaaS architect with 12+ years building the kind of platforms founders bet the company on. Cyber security, AI automation, and rescues for projects that already burned a quarter. 14-day refund on every engagement.

Four ways I make
your roadmap actually move.
Each engagement starts with a 30-minute fit call. If we don't both leave excited, we don't start. If we start and the first 14 days don't deliver, you don't pay.
Cyber Security Audit
A founder-friendly security audit that finds the holes attackers will, before they do.
AI Business Automation
Custom AI workflows that quietly do the work of three operators — billed at a fraction of one.
SaaS Architecture
The blueprint that takes your SaaS idea from whiteboard to revenue — without the seven rewrites.
Project Success Consultancy
A senior CTO embedded in your project for 60 days to turn a stalled build into a shipping one.
Web Development
Full-stack web development that ships on time, scales without drama, and doesn't need a rewrite in 18 months.
Mobile App Development
React Native apps that feel native on iOS and Android — one codebase, no compromises on UX.
A decade of CTO calls, distilled.
I've been the person founders call when the architecture is wrong, the AI demo isn't a product, or the security audit lands the night before launch. I'm built for that call.

The eight things I will always say yes to.
Anything outside this list, I'll either decline or hand you to someone better. That's part of how the refund works.
WordPress at scale
Multi-tenant builds, headless WP + Next.js, custom plugins that won't break your update cycle.
Node.js architecture
From monolith-modular to event-driven microservices. I pick the right size, not the trendy one.
AI automations
LLM agents, RAG pipelines, and operations bots that actually save hours, not just impress on demos.
AI in cyber security
Anomaly detection, phishing classifiers, and AI-augmented audits that catch what traditional tools miss.
SaaS architecture
Multi-tenancy, billing, auth, observability — the unglamorous stuff that makes the platform live.
AWS & cloud cost
Right-sized infrastructure, IAM that won't get you breached, and bills that don't haunt your CFO.
NLP / CNN / R-CNN
When ML earns its place in the product, not just the pitch deck. Used in production since 2018.
Tech leadership
Building teams from 0→20 engineers, hiring senior, firing kindly, shipping shippable plans.
A four-step engagement designed for skeptics.
Every project I take on uses the same shape — refined over a hundred kickoffs. It removes the parts of consulting that waste your time and budget.
30-min fit call
I learn your goal, your constraints, and the deadline you're worried about. If we're not a fit, I tell you who is.
1-page proposal
Scope, deliverables, price, timeline, and the exit clause. No fluff. Sent within 48 hours.
Kickoff in 7 days
Async-first, weekly steering, daily Slack overlap with your team.
Ship → review → refund window
Day 14 you decide: keep going, adjust scope, or walk with a full refund.
Founders, COOs, and heads of engineering. Same playbook.
Identifying details kept private by request — happy to make warm intros after a fit call.
"Emran rebuilt our SaaS architecture in six weeks and our cloud bill dropped 38% in the same quarter. Felt like cheating."
"The security audit caught two critical IAM holes our last vendor missed. The fix list paid for the engagement on day one."
"We replaced four manual ops roles with one well-tuned AI workflow. Emran's playbook is still the one my team runs from."
If the first two weeks aren't ROI-positive, you don't pay.
One email, full refund — no exit interview, no awkwardness. I'd rather lose a fee than work on something that isn't moving your business forward.
The five questions
every founder asks.
If yours isn't here, ask it on the call — I prefer the awkward questions early.
If, within 14 days of kickoff, you don't believe the engagement will deliver real value, email me and I refund 100% — no clauses, no follow-up emails, no awkwardness.
Yes — most of my best engagements are with non-technical founders who need a senior technical brain in their corner. I translate, not lecture.
Standard mutual NDA before any sensitive work — I keep one on file or sign yours, whichever is faster.
That's where most consultancy engagements land. I'm built for messy mid-flight projects, not greenfield slideware.
Asia / Europe / US — I keep core overlap with US East and EU CET, async-first the rest of the time.
