Your technical co-founder,without the co-founder equity.
I work directly with early-stage founders as a hands-on technical partner — architecture, MVP builds, and fundraising-ready foundations — then hand over a codebase you fully own.
No pitch deck. No commitment. 30 minutes.
The Scale-Up Gap: Where Funded Startups Stall
Finding a permanent CTO takes 100+ days and $400K/year. Hiring a traditional agency locks you into a black box. There is a better middle ground — fractional technical leadership today, full independence by the end of the engagement.
The 100-Day Void
In 2026, finding a permanent CTO takes an average of 100+ days and costs over $400,000/year. Meanwhile, your product stalls and your runway burns.
The Black Box Trap
Your other choice? A traditional agency that treats your codebase like a 'black box,' creating a permanent dependency that scares away investors.
The Strategic Middle Ground
You get direct, hands-on technical judgment from day one — not a rotating cast of junior devs, and not a black-box agency retainer. I'm building your technical foundation, personally, so you can move fast without hiring a full-time CTO before you're ready.
I've Seen This Before.
I've seen these patterns before. Here's how I solve them.
Your current pain
You built a prototype with AI tools, but enterprise clients are asking about security and scalability.
Trixon's intervention
I rebuild the foundation to meet the security and scalability bar enterprise buyers expect.
Full IP ownership, documented as I go — not reconstructed at the end.
Your current pain
You've had a bad experience with a dev shop and now prioritize owning your IP and building an internal team.
Trixon's intervention
I act as your internal advocate, building a codebase and processes that survive my departure.
Full IP ownership, documented as I go — not reconstructed at the end.
Your current pain
You just raised capital, but your technical foundation is a mess and you need a leader while you search for a CTO.
Trixon's intervention
I stabilize the technical foundation and help you scope what a permanent CTO hire actually needs to walk into.
A clean, documented codebase ready for your next hire — internal or otherwise.
The Build-Operate-Transfer Framework
A Clear, Time-Boxed Road to Your Independence
A clear, time-boxed roadmap to your independence.
Build
Institutional Integrity
I don't just 'write code.' I audit your architecture, select a tech stack that is easy to hire for in your local market, and automate your deployments from Day 1 — with documentation written as I go.
Operate
Stabilize & Prepare
I keep building and stabilizing the product while helping you think through what your first internal hire(s) should look like — role definitions, technical interview structure, and evaluation criteria you can use, whether that's your first engineer or eventually a full-time CTO.
Transfer
The Seamless Exit
My success is measured by your independence. I execute a defined handover — full IP transfer, clean documentation, and a post-handover window where I'm available for questions. Nothing lives only in my head.
Three Ways to Engage
Every engagement is scoped to what you actually need — no long-term contracts, no ambiguity.
Technical Audit
An independent, no-obligation look at your codebase — a clear before/after benchmark and a set of prioritized recommendations you can act on immediately, with or without hiring me further. Typical turnaround: 1–3 weeks depending on codebase size.
The lowest-risk way to see how I work before committing to anything larger.
TTCF — Temporary Technical Co-Founder
I join your company under a partnership arrangement, functioning as a hands-on technical lead — MVP development, architecture decisions, and fundraising-readiness — directly and personally. Tenure is flexible and scoped to your actual needs.
No account manager. No junior devs executing while someone else takes the calls.
BOT — Build-Operate-Transfer
I take ownership of building or fixing your product within a fixed tenure, working solo and communicating transparently about pace. The engagement concludes with full IP and documentation transfer — nothing lives only in my head.
Documentation happens as I build, not retrofitted at the end.
Proof of Work.
Real projects, shipped end-to-end. Here's what building with Trixon actually looks like.
Ketpa Veterinary Platform
Full-stack MVP with patient, doctor, and admin dashboards. Calendar-integrated appointment booking, email verification, and emergency pipeline — built for handover from day one.
Yuvaratna — NGO Technical Co-Founder
Sole technical lead for 8 months. Designed, built, and maintained the organization's full web presence end-to-end from zero, using MERN stack.
AI Interrogation Engine
A Gemini-powered conversational AI system with custom personas, session memory, and prompt-level guardrails — built and deployed end-to-end in under 24 hours for a live event.
Mohammed Saqib Junaid Khan
Founder, Trixon
Trixon is me — a builder who works hands-on with early-stage founders because I've seen the same pattern too many times: strong ideas, sharp founders, and technical infrastructure that can't keep up. I built Trixon to close that gap myself, directly, without the layers a typical agency adds.
"I take non-technical founders from idea to production-ready product. No fluff, no bloat — just execution, done by the person you're actually talking to."
Every Trixon engagement is built on one core principle — the best technical partner is the one who makes themselves unnecessary by giving you full independence.
