About us

Not a Big Agency

Look, you don’t need another generic agency telling you to “streamline your digital transformation.” You need someone who can help you untangle real tech problems and make smart calls fast. That’s me. I bring the experience, the questions, and the plan — you bring the chaos. Together we’ll make it work.

When your tech stack starts feeling like a Jenga tower…

…you don’t need buzzwords. You need someone who’s been there, seen worse, and knows how to fix it. These are the services I offer to help founders, dev teams, and newly-acquired companies get their tech sorted — without panic, pressure, or pretending Kubernetes will solve all your problems.

Helping people build smarter — and breathe easier

I’ve never seen the same mess twice. That’s kind of the fun part.

I’ve seen a lot in 25 years — from full-blown dumpster fires to beautifully run teams. Along the way, I’ve learned what it really takes to run a successful software shop: don’t reinvent the wheel, question your assumptions, and never forget that your people are your foundation.

How I work

Let's Talk

We start with a call. You tell me what’s going on — the goals, the headaches, the “I’m not sure but something feels off.” I’ll ask a bunch of questions. We’ll figure out if I can help.

I Dig In

If we move forward, I take a close look at your code, systems, team setup — whatever’s needed. This part might involve reviewing repos, dev workflows, or just untangling how things got to where they are.

You Get a Plan

Once I’ve got the full picture, I give you a clear, no-fluff strategy. That could mean fixes, guidance, coaching, or stepping in more deeply. You’ll know what’s working, what’s risky, and what to do next.
