I was just laid off. I was introduced to the concept of Fractional CTO, and was intrigued. I was also looking at roles at the time, but there were few and I was not finding myself interested at all. I was coming from a job that I really, really liked. So initially, Fractional CTO work seemed like a good thing to try while I did a longer-term search for a permanent role.</p>
