Process

How I work.

01

Assess

We review your architecture, infrastructure, and technical goals. I identify gaps, bottlenecks, and opportunities — including AI and automation.

02

Plan

I deliver a technical roadmap with prioritized recommendations, timelines, and clear deliverables. No surprises.

03

Build

I implement — infrastructure, automation, custom platforms, AI pipelines. Production-ready, documented, and your team can maintain it.

04

Partner

Ongoing fractional CTO support, monitoring, and iteration. Your infrastructure gets better over time, not stale.

Infrastructure That Scales With You

Open-source infrastructure.
Enterprise reliability.

I deploy and customize open-source tools that give you the capabilities of enterprise SaaS — without per-seat pricing, vendor lock-in, or surprise bills as you scale. Your infrastructure grows with your team, not against it.

Predictable Costs at Scale

No per-seat fees that scale against you. Open source tools cost a fraction to host and grow with your team without surprise bills.

🔧

Custom-Fit to Your Workflows

I configure and extend open source tools to match your exact workflows — no workarounds, no compromises on features.

🔓

Full Data Ownership

Your data stays yours. Migrate, modify, or scale without asking permission or paying exit fees.

Why clients stay.

I Ship, Not Just Advise

Open Source Evangelist

USPTO patent holder. Published technical reviewer. I've been building with open-source tools for 20+ years and I'll tell you honestly when SaaS is the right call too.
