I help organizations make confident technology decisions and then build what those decisions require.
Whether you’re launching something new or improving what's already there, I can help you implement a solution fits you like a glove.
Tech for People Who Hate Tech
There’s Pressure to Get the Technology Right
You need to make technology decisions, but lack a technical background. That usually shows up as things like:
- needing a website, but not knowing what you actually need
- having important data spread across multiple tools
- managing critical workflows in spreadsheets
- stitching together several low-cost tools that don’t really fit
- spending more time maintaining your systems than using them
Quick fixes often feel cheaper, but they quietly become expensive in time, errors, and stress.
At some point, it makes sense to design the system properly.
Find Your Focus
I provide technical leadership for organizations that need clear, stable systems but don’t have an in-house CTO.
That usually looks like:
- building or rebuilding your website
- replacing spreadsheet-based workflows with real software
- supporting internal teams with planning, prototyping, and delivery
- providing fractional CTO-level guidance when technical decisions matter
Real systems, built calmly and deliberately.
