About Us
Strategic technical leadership when you need it most. Learn about Tek42's approach to solving complex technology challenges.
We're The Solvers
Tek42 delivers strategic technical leadership when you need it most. As fractional CTOs and full-stack architects, we step into organisations facing complex technology challenges without the luxury of waiting to hire full-time executive talent.
We're "The Solvers"—bringing diversity of thought, deep technical expertise, and a proven methodology that turns architectural complexity into clear business advantage.
Our Approach: The CONSULTANT Framework
Our approach is grounded in the CONSULTANT framework: we observe before acting, build trust through delivery, and create strategies that actually stick.
Observe Before Acting
We take time to understand your context, team dynamics, and technical landscape before proposing solutions.
Build Trust Through Delivery
We lead by doing, not just advising. We take ownership of technical decisions and deliver measurable results.
Document Decisions Clearly
Every major technical decision is recorded with clear rationale using Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
Deliver Measurable Outcomes
We focus on business-driven technology alignment with clear, fast ROI.
Collaborate Cross-Functionally
We work closely with your entire leadership team to ensure technical strategy supports business objectives.
What Sets Us Apart
What distinguishes Tek42 isn't just full-stack capability—it's our commitment to making complex technical decisions understandable and actionable for all stakeholders.
Diversity of Thought
We bring perspectives from multiple industries, technology stacks, and organisational contexts. This diversity allows us to identify patterns and solutions that might not be visible from within your organisation.
Proven Methodology
Our CONSULTANT framework has been refined through years of experience leading technical teams and organisations through critical transitions. We know what works—and what doesn't.
Business-Driven Alignment
Every technical decision we make is tied to business outcomes. We speak both "tech" and "business," bridging the gap between engineering teams and executive leadership.
