Business & IT Consultant
I help small businesses
plan and run their technology.
So you can focus on what you do best. I bring the strategy, the project leadership, and the systems that keep a business moving — and I build the custom software when off‑the‑shelf won't cut it.
I build what I recommend
I don't just hand over advice and walk away — I deliver and run the systems myself.
One point of contact
Strategy, build, and ongoing support from the same person. No handoffs, no finger‑pointing.
Right‑sized for small business
Practical for one‑person shops and small teams — never enterprise overkill.
Starts with your business
I begin with how you actually operate, then make the technology fit it.
How I help
I treat technology as part of your business — not a separate thing to bolt on. We start with how you actually operate, then make the tools serve it.
Technology strategy & planning
Decide what to build, buy, or skip — and in what order — based on how your business actually runs day to day.
Project leadership
I lead technology projects from the first plan through delivery, so the work actually gets finished instead of stalling.
Custom internal software
When off‑the‑shelf doesn't fit, I build the apps and tools your business runs on — like the client work below.
Systems & operations
Set up and streamline the everyday systems that keep things moving, and keep them working once they're in place.
Everyday IT support and break‑fix when you need it, too — but the focus is making technology a real part of how your business works.
How I work
Engagements are straightforward. No jargon, no surprises — just a clear path from where you are to something that works.

More apps I've built
A side project I designed, built, and run end‑to‑end — just for the love of the city.
Pittsburgh Neighborhood Collector
A free, gamified map that challenges you to visit all 90 of Pittsburgh's neighborhoods and check in as you go. It's part scavenger hunt, part love letter to the city — I built it to play with new tools, bring people a little joy, and teach a bit of Pittsburgh history along the way.
- Detects the neighborhood you're standing in — you can play along without even making an account.
- Check in across all 90 neighborhoods to unlock a local fun fact and photos for each one.
- Earn badges and climb a friendly leaderboard as your map fills in.
- Track your progress from your profile — 100% free, just a first name and email to start.
