Fractional CTO · Engineering

Fractional CTO and hands-on engineering for startups past their first build.

Geewicket Labs helps early-stage teams turn a promising MVP into a platform they can trust: sound architecture, a release process that doesn't keep anyone up at night, and a team that knows how to keep shipping.

How the team works

Your first build got you here. It may not get you further.

It was built by contractors, or with AI tools, and nobody on your team can say for sure what is safe to scale.
Releases are manual, risky, or rare.
Investors, partners or customers ask technical questions you can't answer with confidence.
You need senior technical judgment, but not a $250,000 full-time CTO yet.

What We Do

Three ways to work together.

Fractional CTO

Ongoing technical leadership: architecture decisions, roadmap, hiring, vendor and contractor oversight, and a clear voice in the room when technical questions come up.

Production-Readiness Review

A fixed-scope look at your code, infrastructure, security and release process, ending in a prioritized plan you can act on.

Embedded Engineering

Hands-on delivery for a defined scope, working alongside your team in TypeScript, Node.js, React and React Native, and modern cloud services.

Why Geewicket Labs

I'm Magee Mooney Caliguire. For more than twenty years I've worked both sides of engineering: the systems and the people who build them.

I call it being a Dual-Systems Leader: I improve the platform and the team that builds it, so the improvements last after I step back.

More about me

Today: Founding Engineer (fractional) at PawSpace, where I assessed an MVP built by outside contractors, then built the infrastructure roadmap, product roadmap and release practices to take it toward a production launch.
Releases: Moved an education company from ad hoc releases to weekly production releases while lowering error rates.
Compliance: Redesigned a multi-tenant platform to meet FERPA requirements; spent nine years working under HIPAA at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health.
Teams: Founded and scaled an engineering program serving more than 200 students and 20 staff at its peak.
Credentials: PMP, ITIL 4, AWS Cloud Practitioner, CompTIA Security+.
