mid~dog - long tail
systems that breathe / tools that track / teams that flow
Fractional CIO, CTO, & Digital Transformation for small and mid‑sized teams.
Fractional Information & Digital Officer (FIDO)- Retainer, Project, or Embedded Support
Shepherd your infrastructure, workflows, and people so your engineers ship faster with less chaos.
Every organization is a living pack.
Some run well.
Some run wild.
Most run with friction they barely recognize.
Your mid~dog FIDO senses deeper — to the scent trails, the pulses, the subtle misalignments between tool, team, and tempo. Then ranges to your call to restore and renew rhythm.
mid~dog matches your mode and cadence:
- Retainered Service
- Scoped Project Outcomes
- Fully Embedded Support
Servers sprawling, workstations going feral? FIDOs corral complexity, cut noise, and keep your pack healthy – without switching horses mid-stream from what already works.
- Tame sprawl. Patch the herd. Make your tools move as one.
- Efficiently observe, control, and optimize
- Servers & Workstations
- On Prem & Cloud
- Serverless & Application Workflows
- OS, Patching, & Software Deployment Hygiene
- Fleet Visibility & Vulnerability Management
- Configuration & Control
- Security Tool Performance Tuning
From “heroic releases” to calm, predictable ship cycles. CI/CD that hums, fewer manual paw-prints in your path, and on-call that doesn’t wreck your crew.
- CI/CD and flow rituals that keep releases warm-blooded and tight.
- CI/CD Pipelines
- Build Performance Tuning
- Artefact Management
- Automation & AI
Advisory without ego. Coaching, facilitation, and rituals that keep your team moving together—present, grounded, and not burning out.
