Fractional CTO for
PropTech and mid-sized companies.

I scaled a property management platform from 100 to 650 customers, connected a telemedicine platform to the public social insurance system, and lost a company of my own. You get all three experiences in one package. And when a product has to hit the market on schedule, I make sure it goes live.

How I work

Fast to market, stable in production

Four things you get with me, concretely. All of it proven in real mandates, not in workshops.

Fast to market

When a product has to go live on schedule, I am the insurance. As a forward deployed engineer I take products into production myself, from concept to go-live. My base framework, which bundles best practices for data-driven platforms across design, frontend and backend, makes software happen faster.

Uninterrupted operations

My core job as CTO: the platform runs in production, without outages. I design the operating concepts and implement them with the team, from architecture down to Docker and Kubernetes. Four years of stable operations for the digital owners’ meeting are the proof.

Team, hiring and network

I have hired, developed and assembled teams and carried people responsibility. When your project needs more hands, I draw on a reliable network of experienced engineers, designers, DevOps engineers and product managers.

Numbers and stakeholders

Business intelligence, customer analytics, growth analysis, product performance: I prepare company numbers so that shareholders, investors and partners can make decisions with them. For integrations I keep the line to partners and customers open, all the way into sales.

.NET Angular Django Node.js Rails React PHP Docker Kubernetes

In every one of my roles I was the place where problems were allowed to get stuck. Wherever something jammed, I built the solution.

Services

Four ways to work with me

With prices, so you do not have to guess. Every package starts with a free intro call.

Learned at my own expense

Why I know what ruins companies

With my agency freiheit.software I spent years building and owning software for other companies: scaled facilioo as fractional CTO, led drd.at through a regulated domain as interim CTO, built a complete ERP for HTR. In 2026 I still had to put the agency into liquidation.

The reasons were not in the projects. They were with me as a business owner: lacking cash discipline, too many parallel construction sites, saying no to the wrong prices too late. These lessons are not consulting slides, they are paid-for experience.

The fresh start has long been in production: with FSA Liegenwerk Digital GmbH I run my own AI product for property managers, and as a fractional CTO I support companies that want to avoid exactly these mistakes. You get both: a CTO who has scaled, and an entrepreneur who has carried the risks himself.

About me

Builds himself, leads teams, knows one industry deeply

I studied at the Hasso Plattner Institute and have been building software for more than ten years: an ERP for order processing at HTR Holz & Transport, foundry software at Zorc, telemedicine with an e-card connection as interim CTO at drd.at, seven years of PropTech as fractional CTO at facilioo. Today I run Liegenwerk Digital, my own AI product in production.

I write code myself, for the past year heavily AI-assisted. .NET is home, and I have shipped production work with Angular, Django, Node.js, Rails, React and PHP as well. My profile: github.com/marcfreiheit.
