Software that gets built, connected, and actually used

I lead software, integration, and implementation work. I’m at my best seeing how the pieces fit, from one data field to the whole org chart, and connecting them in ways people actually use. Building software and running IT since 2002.

Taking on consulting work and open to senior leadership roles


What I do

Build, integrate, implement

  • Build

    Custom software and internal tools

    Web apps, APIs, and automation for the work off-the-shelf software won’t cover, like the spreadsheet everyone is afraid to touch.

  • Integrate

    Connecting the systems you already pay for

    ERP, accounting, project management, identity, and the field tools in between, so data is entered once and trusted everywhere.

  • Implement

    Rollouts that stick

    Process mapping, training, a champion on every team, and a plan for the week after go-live. Adoption is the deliverable.

All of it backed by more than twenty years of IT and infrastructure work, and construction industry knowledge going back to 2005, so the software fits the network, the jobsite, and the people.

Two ways to work together

Full-time

Hire me

I’m looking for a senior leadership role, software first: head of software, director, or VP. I’m also a fit as a special projects lead or principal engineer, where the job is connecting parts of the business nobody has connected yet. Remote preferred, hybrid possible.

Consulting

Bring me in

Fixed-scope projects, assessments, or a monthly retainer as your fractional engineering lead. I’m at home anywhere from a startup held together with scripts and spreadsheets to a billion-dollar private company with decades of process and the legacy systems to match.
