Selected work

Real work, some of it under my own name and some of it done running operations inside other companies. Client names are withheld. I am happy to walk you through any of it.

BEFORE AFTER

A custom application that turned five days of manual work into two hours of review

Small business, internal operations. An ERP, a CRM and a workflow engine in one, built from the ground up rather than bought, integrated with the tools already in use, and eventually extended to host tools of its own.

Outcome: a week of manual work every cycle became a two hour review.

A childcare center, from an old host to a site that answers its own inquiries

Childcare. Website, plus an automated workflow that sends a branded confirmation the moment a tour request lands, copied to the owner.

The parent gets an answer immediately instead of whenever somebody next opens the inbox.

Outcome: inquiries get answered without anybody remembering to answer them.

A business moved off a legacy all in one provider in under a week

Small business. Domain, DNS, website and email all tangled up with one old host and a renewal date approaching.

Transferred, re-pointed and cut over live, with mail tested before anybody depended on it.

Outcome: off the old provider, nothing broken, no gap in mail.

Four ERP migrations without a material disruption

Aerospace and defense manufacturing, as the operations lead.

Four migrations between 2018 and 2024, including a compliance driven move into a government cloud environment.

Outcome: the business kept shipping through every one of them.

$1.5MM of assets liquidated in under nine months

Live entertainment and audio visual, after the business folded during the pandemic.

I had worked the product side, not the sales side. Sold the inventory into a market that had also stopped.

Outcome: roughly $300,000 returned, about a 20 percent return on the book.
