Louis Collard
Founder & Fractional CTO
I'm a lifelong builder and occasional troublemaker. I’ve written bare-metal security firmware for Google, contributed to the Linux kernel, managed data pipelines responsible for billions in ad revenue, and navigated a venture-backed startup through a bet-the-company pivot to a successful M&A exit.Today, I split my time between two complementary tracks:North Shore Software – I actively design, build, and sell capital-efficient micro-SaaS products.Fractional CTO – I partner with non-technical founders and executives to resolve technical misalignment, avoid the inevitable wild goose chases, and get stalled projects moving again.If you are going from zero to one, have hit PMF and need to scale up, or are an established business looking to modernise – I’d love to hear from you.
