From Agency Dependency to AI-First Development

WashDoctors brought us in as F-CTO and AI-first dev partner in October 2025 to move away from a traditional dev agency. The result: roughly 10× the speed of the previous setup, and 13 production releases shipped in a single quarter.

The model

How we partner

01

Technical leadership

A fractional CTO who owns the technology decisions and answers for them. Architecture, roadmap, hiring, vendor calls.

02

AI-first development

We build with AI-first tooling and ship faster than any agency quote you've had. WashDoctors now releases at roughly ten times their old pace.

03

Growth

Product, infrastructure and marketing handled by the same people, so nothing gets lost between suppliers.

We work with five companies at a time. That’s the whole model.

In their words

What partners say

Working with Jake as our fractional CTO has been exactly what Washdoctors needed. Over the past few months, his advice and help with navigating complex technical decisions has been invaluable to the business and helped me tackle them with clarity and confidence. The insights and experience he brings have already started shifting how we think about technology in the business, and I'm genuinely excited about what we can create and achieve together!
