Jason Margolin

Tech Advisor - Fractional CTO - Engineer

About

Hi, I'm Jason. I've spent over 15 years building software and leading engineering teams, with senior roles at Facebook, BP, and VoucherCodes.

These days, I work as a fractional CTO—partnering with founders to help turn their vision into reality.

Whether you're building your first product or scaling an existing one, I can help you make smart technical decisions, build a strong team and get things shipped.

My role often involves bridging the gap between business and tech, explaining complex ideas in plain English and helping you feel confident in your product and roadmap.

I've worked with numerous early-stage and seed-funded companies - including Y Combinator and Intel backed startups.

If you're looking for a trusted technical partner, I'd love to chat.
