CTO advisory and fractional leadership
Product and architecture decisions, technical due diligence, team design, delivery recovery, and founder-level technical support.
About Alan Son
A CTO who still gets close to the code.
I lead technology across two commercial AI companies and use AlanOps for select advisory, DevOps, and platform-engineering engagements.
Current roles
Three roles, one operating system.
The common thread is turning ambitious product ideas into dependable commercial systems.

Strategy that survives contact with delivery.
My career started in software, infrastructure, and DevOps. Over more than 20 years, I have designed cloud platforms, led migrations, improved delivery systems, and helped teams make high-stakes technology decisions.
That foundation now shapes how I lead AI products. I care about the model and the experience, but also the data quality, security, observability, cost, release controls, and operating model that determine whether the product can be trusted.
I am comfortable in the boardroom and at the terminal. That combination is the point.
