Porter Bayne

I get digital products done.

Hands-on, AI-enabled, fractional CTO/CPO & Full-Stack Developer with a Dual Business/Technical Mindset. I have a rare ability to drive revenue while building complex systems


My approach combines technical expertise with genuine empathy – I listen first, then architect solutions that meet real human needs while addressing business objectives.


I have over 20 years experience, from starting and fundraising $1.5m VC for my own startup, helping SMBs adapt to new technologies, and managing up & down within a Fortune 500 company, launching new products & platforms while maintaining legacy systems.


I've built websites & apps ranging from HIPAA-compliant medical records, to high-speed & high-volume digital ad tools delivering 1 billion monthly impressions, to small sites and tools that get a small job done well.


Work with me to build something new, fix something broken, enhance existing systems, replace an over-priced agency, or evaluate and partner with third party platforms.


Work with me, also, to adapt in real & practical ways to AI.


Let's get your project done.
