Does this sound familiar?
Your velocity feels slow
- Paying senior devs yet velocity feels slower…
- …AWS and cloud bills creeping up…
- …feels like you pay an interest.
You're concerned about the details
- UI/UX feels janky
- Young codebase but tech debt’s here
- Devs are limited
You wouldn’t be the first.

I’m Kuan, the founder and managing partner of Silent CTO.
For the last 13+ years I've been helping founders across the globe design, scale, and untangle complex systems without the bloat or passing you off to juniors.
You’re getting my specialty: seeing patterns others miss—especially where code, design, business, and culture intersect. Everything I bring to your business is hard-earned: built from direct experience, not theory.
Working with me means: total candor, no middlemen, no jargon games. You get CTO-level clarity & accountability, but silent in the background. I bring you CTO-level clarity & accountability— quietly, on Slack, no politics.
Proven Results
“In my view, he certainly is one of the most prominent software engineers in the world.”
“I was simply stunned by Kuan’s effectiveness and sheer brilliance. People like him are extremely rare… Kuan can easily be classified in the very top echelon of software engineers I have encountered, which puts him among the very best worldwide.”
“Kuan was the backbone of our project. I always thought that the “10x developer” was just a fallacy, but after working with him I now know they exist, you just don’t come across them every day.”
“Kuan was a great asset to the team. It’s rare to find someone who can independently solve problems, communicate them clearly, and think ahead. He is very dependable when it comes to timing and cost expectations!”
Technical Co-Founder as Leverage, On Demand. Move Faster, with Confidence.
You work directly with a senior partner. This means total accountability and zero communication overhead.
Every tech decision is measured by its impact: revenue, risk, and UX. We build assets, not just functional code.
I’ve built and rescued systems for millions of users. This means we build your system to avoid them from day one.
There is no vendor lock-in. My goal is to empower your team and make myself obsolete.
