Hi, I'm April Aely

AI Strategist & Engineer
Product & Technology Leader
Founder of Peachity

25+ years in the rooms where technology decisions get made. Now I lead Peachity, reviewing, engineering and strengthening AI-built products while serving as a fractional CTO for non-technical founders. And I'm building a few companies of my own.

Where I focus

AI strategyProduct developmentProduct designCommunity platformsSearch & AI discoveryFractional CTOAI build security reviewsEmerging tools
  • AI strategy: Where AI genuinely earns its place in a business, and where it doesn't.
  • Product development: Taking ideas from first sketch to shipped product, with the strategy and engineering to make them last.
  • Product design: Good design earns trust before anyone reads a word. I shape how a product looks, feels, and works, with intention behind every decision.
  • Community platforms: I build the places communities live online, where members show up, contribute, and bring their people with them.
  • Search & AI discovery: Your customers now ask AI before they ask Google. The brands it names get the business, and I make sure you're one of them.
  • Fractional CTO: Senior technology leadership for non-technical founders: the architecture, build-versus-buy calls and engineering direction that turn an idea into a product that holds up.
  • AI build security reviews: AI writes code fast and takes the path of least resistance, so vulnerabilities ship just as fast unless someone knows where to look. I review AI-built products before real users find the gaps.
  • Emerging tools: Testing what's new, so my clients don't have to.
