Johnny McCartin
Technical Partner · Fractional CTO

Technology leadership. Built around your business.

I partner with established businesses to simplify operations, develop better systems, and make technology a meaningful part of their growth.

I've spent 14 years building businesses, developing software, and leading technology initiatives. From founding XeRo Media to nine years as a CTO and working on large-scale infrastructure development, my experience brings together business strategy, product thinking, and hands-on execution.

01Who's a great fit

Businesses that have established themselves and are ready to make more intentional use of technology.

StageEstablished operations with growing complexity, evolving needs, or systems that haven't kept pace.
SituationTechnology decisions lack clear ownership, existing systems create friction, or internal teams need additional strategic direction.
MindsetWants a long-term partner, not a vendor who builds and leaves.
InvestmentReady to invest in senior technology leadership on an ongoing basis.

My focus is on established businesses and ongoing partnerships rather than early-stage startups or isolated projects.

02How I help

I start by understanding how your business operates, where technology can make a difference, and what's worth prioritizing. From systems integration and automation to custom software and technical strategy, I focus on practical solutions that create lasting value.
