accepting new engagements — Q3 2026
Fractional CTO and systems architect for small and mid-market companies. If you're behind on AI, drowning in manual process, or paying for software that doesn't fit, I design the system, build it, integrate it, and hand you the keys. Most recently: a 118,000-line enterprise staffing platform with 15 integrations — architected, built, and shipped by one person.

GET /services
Every engagement is custom-scoped, but most work falls into one of these shapes. You won't find prices on a webpage — the honest answer is "it depends on scope," and a thirty-minute call gets you a real number.
sprint-build
An idea, a spec, or a failing legacy tool goes in; a deployed, production-grade system comes out — backend, web, mobile, auth, and infrastructure. The staffing platform below went from empty repository to production in under thirty days.
fractional-cto
Senior technical leadership without the full-time hire. I own your roadmap, vendor and stack decisions, developer management, security posture, and cloud spend — and report to you in plain business terms, not jargon.
ai-automation
The "we know we're behind on AI" engagement. I find the workflows burning your team's hours and wire AI into them properly — document processing, screening, summarization, agent tooling — with real engineering, not chatbot demos. I've cut an HR department's manual labor by 97% this way.
stack-audit
A structured review of your architecture, security, vendor contracts, and cloud bills. You get a prioritized, costed roadmap — which you can execute with me, or entirely without me. Either way you'll finally know what you're paying for.
GET /case-studies/staffing-platform
A staffing agency needed a complete platform — scheduling, payroll, compliance, mobile apps, the works. I architected and built the entire system solo: from empty repository to production in under thirty days, then kept scaling it. These numbers are the system as it runs today.

Week 01
Stack evaluation, data model design, cloud provisioning: serverless PostgreSQL on Neon, Cloudflare R2 object storage, Render and Railway deploy pipelines.
Week 02
Async FastAPI backend, SQLAlchemy models, dual session + JWT auth, role-based permissions, and the scheduling engine: events, shifts, assignments, timesheets.
Week 03
React Native app on Expo with typed API client and secure token storage; server-rendered admin, client, and employee portals; App Store and Play Store pipelines.
Week 04
ADP payroll and Xero accounting integrations, digital onboarding with real government forms, geolocation clock-in, push notifications — and production release.
GET /case-studies/operations-platform
As Senior Technical Programs Manager at Culinary Staffing Services, I built the company's entire internal tooling layer — then used it to automate away most of the manual work in HR, recruiting, compliance, and finance. This is what AI integration looks like when it's engineering, not a demo.
Geographic coverage view for thousands of open shifts, matched to employee density.
Per-client P&L with billing, gross pay, and fee drill-downs computed from live data.
Trend analysis across the client portfolio to focus business development effort.
Company-wide, real-time visibility into fill rates, time-to-fill, and weekly leaders.
Recruiting outreach automation that made follow-up consistent across the team.
The ADP enterprise migration — data governance, configuration, and compliance.
GET /experience
I came to engineering through operations — retail floors, project sites, staffing desks — which is why the systems I build actually match how businesses run. Full detail is on the resume.
Chief Technology Officer
Own technology strategy and the full engineering roadmap as CTO — the platform, cloud infrastructure, and integrations I architected and built from the ground up, now scaling with the business. Shipped an AI-powered candidate-matching and resume-screening engine, automated the recruiting pipeline end-to-end, and set the standards for data governance and system reliability the company runs on.
Senior Technical Programs Manager
Owned the full technology and operations stack across a scope equivalent to 4–5 specialized roles: built the 55+ tool internal platform, served as Microsoft 365 global administrator, ran AWS infrastructure, led the ADP payroll migration, managed an offshore dev team, and owned labor compliance reporting (CRD/EEOC, MSP audits, garnishments) across HR, payroll, and IT.
Showroom & Project Manager
End-to-end remodel project management — vendors, contractors, timelines, and revenue targets across concurrent multi-phase projects.
Store Manager
Full P&L, staffing, and operations for a high-volume retail location; built and trained a team of 15+.

POST /contact
Two sentences about your business and what's slow, manual, or missing — that's enough to start. I read everything myself and reply within one business day.
