Alex Levit – Fractional CTO for Network Infrastructure Vendors
I help engineering leaders restore delivery confidence and R&D velocity before missed revenue or churn makes it obvious.
The Problem
When Engineering Velocity Slips, Sales Feels It Next
• Long-lived platforms
• Tightly coupled hardware/software
• Growing technical debt
• Key engineers stretched thin
Velocity looks fine - until it doesn’t. I help teams see the breakage before it hits the bottom line.
What I Do
• Make delivery risk visible
• Predict where engineering velocity is about to break
• Help leadership restore roadmap confidence
• Avoid tool churn and process theater
Why work with me
• 25+ years in distributed systems and telecom platforms
• Carrier-grade architecture experience
• Multiple patents in network infrastructure
• Proven under pressure - systems that can’t fail
I focus on reconciling what others treat as trade-offs: speed and stability, innovation and reliability.
Let's talk
If you're seeing signs of declining R&D velocity or weakening roadmap confidence, I’m open to a conversation.
