Engineers Led as CTO
2 Times Technical Founder
UTC+8, 1hr from Bangkok
With over 12 years of experience in software and web development, Tobias brings CTO-level leadership to Singapore startups without the full-time cost. Based in Bangkok (UTC+7), he works seamlessly with Singapore teams in the SGT timezone and is available for hybrid engagements - traveling to Singapore for key meetings, workshops, and team sessions when needed.
Tobias co-founded Brikl, an e-commerce platform built for Southeast Asia, where he scaled the engineering team from zero to 70 as CTO. He has deep familiarity with the SEA startup and VC landscape - including the Singapore ecosystem - and brings that context to every engagement.
Whether you need help with technology strategy, your first engineering hires, architecture decisions, or cloud infrastructure - Tobias provides the hands-on guidance Singapore founders need to ship and scale.

Singapore has one of the most active startup ecosystems in Southeast Asia. But CTO-level talent is expensive and hard to hire. A fractional CTO gives you the same strategic depth at a fraction of the cost.
Work fully remote or hybrid - Tobias travels to Singapore for key milestones, planning sessions, and team workshops when needed.
Operating in the SGT timezone means real-time collaboration with your Singapore team, no async lag on critical decisions, and overlap with the full SEA region.
Deep familiarity with the Singapore and SEA startup landscape - investors, talent, regulatory context, and the realities of building a regional B2B SaaS product.
Technology roadmaps, architecture decisions, and cloud strategy tailored for Singapore-stage B2B SaaS companies.
Hiring and structuring engineering teams in Singapore and across SEA, from your first developer to a team of 20+.
Real coding experience with modern stacks - Next.js, Supabase, Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, and cloud infrastructure.
Ideal for pre-seed to Series A companies in Singapore, especially non-technical founders making their first tech hires or scaling a working prototype.
First-hand experiences from founders and engineers who benefited from hands-on mentorship, technical clarity, and practical leadership.
Tobias is a phenomenal mentor. He listens and understands where you are, then looks for ways to get you unstuck or to a process of achievement. Highly recommend Tobias for any techie or startup person.

Thank you Tobias for his valuable guidance on the tech stack and helping me navigate technical complexities. I appreciate Tobias' intelligence and experience, and am grateful for his time and generosity.

Tobias was very helpful to assist a couple of our engineers with improvements to their technical interview process. I would love to work with Tobias again for further assistance to help me further mentor our engineers and support their growth.
