Fewer spreadsheets. More hours back.

I help local businesses replace repetitive manual work with simple, reliable automation, and give growing companies senior technical leadership without a full-time hire.

Talk through your biggest headache

What I do

Automation and integrations

Connect the tools you already use, remove double data entry, and build the small custom pieces that fill the gaps. Fixed price, clearly scoped, built to last.

Architecture advisory

An independent review of your systems, data, and cloud setup, with a plain-language plan for what to fix first and what to leave alone.

Fractional CTO

A few hours a week of hands-on technical leadership: vendor choices, roadmap, security basics, and someone accountable for getting it done.

How a project works

  1. Listen

    A short conversation about how work actually flows through your business and where it gets stuck.

  2. Scope

    A written proposal with one process, one price, and the hours you can expect to get back.

  3. Build

    I design and implement the solution, usually in two to four weeks, with check-ins along the way.

  4. Hand off

    Documentation, training for your team, and support if something needs adjusting.

Typical things worth automating

  • Appointment scheduling and reminders
  • Quotes, invoices, and payment follow-up
  • Lead capture and follow-up messages
  • Document and form generation
  • Job and project tracking
  • Moving data between systems without retyping it
  • Weekly reports that build themselves
  • Customer and client intake

Start with a conversation

Tell me what eats up your week. If there is a good way to fix it, I will say so, and if there isn't, I will say that too.
