Sometimes you don't need a consultant to give advice or sell you something—you need someone to actually do the work, and do it right.
I build technical solutions that solve your problems—SharePoint environments, Sentinel dashboards, Azure automation, Google Workspace automation, and compliance tooling. No vendor agenda, just execution.
The Problem
You've already identified what needs to be done. You've got the roadmap, the plan, the compliance requirements. But now you need someone who can actually execute—and most options come with strings attached.
Consultants tell you what to build, then hand you a referral. Their "recommended partners" have revenue-sharing agreements. You're not getting unbiased implementation—you're getting steered toward whoever pays them.
Vendors build what benefits their product roadmap. You get a solution that locks you into their ecosystem, with proprietary integrations that make it expensive to leave.
Your MSP is already at capacity. They're focused on keeping the lights on, not building custom solutions. Or they don't have the specific expertise you need—Azure Logic Apps, Sentinel dashboards, Google Workspace and Cloud automation.
And hiring full-time? You need 3–6 months of work, not a permanent headcount increase.
You need hands-on technical implementation with no vendor agenda and no conflicts of interest.
How I Can Help
I'm not a software developer with 12-month project roadmaps. I dive deep to understand your problem, strategize the best solution, and build it fast. Not perfect, not flashy—functional, custom, and delivered when you actually need it.
What I Build:
SharePoint & Microsoft 365 Environments
Custom SharePoint sites, custom extensions, document management systems, workflows, permissions structures, and Power Automate integrations that match how your business actually works.
Azure Security & Compliance Tooling
Sentinel dashboards and analytics rules, Logic Apps for automation, security monitoring and alerting, compliance reporting, and Azure Functions for custom integrations.
Google Workspace Automation
Google Apps Script solutions, automated workflows, custom reporting dashboards, data integrations, and process automation that eliminates manual work.
Compliance Implementation
Technical controls for NIST 800-171, CMMC, HIPAA, or cyber insurance requirements—implemented correctly and documented for assessors, not just checkboxes on paper.
Custom Integrations & Automation
API integrations between systems, workflow automation, data migration, and process optimization using Python, PowerShell, or whatever gets the job done.
You get working solutions fast, complete documentation, and no ongoing vendor dependencies.
What to Expect
Technical implementation projects are quoted individually and billed hourly. Most projects range from 1–8 weeks depending on scope and complexity.
Typical Project Flow:
Discovery & Scoping (Week 1)
Initial consultation to understand the problem you're trying to solve
Technical requirements gathering and constraints identification
Solution architecture recommendations with pros/cons
Hourly estimate with timeline
Statement of work defining scope, deliverables, and success criteria
Implementation Phase (Varies by Project)
Iterative development with regular check-ins (typically weekly)
Testing and validation throughout the process
Documentation developed alongside the solution
Your feedback incorporated at key milestones
No surprise scope creep—changes discussed and approved before implementation
Delivery & Handoff
Final testing and user acceptance validation
Complete technical documentation (how it works, how to maintain it)
Training session for your team if needed
Source code and configuration details provided
30 days of email support for questions and minor adjustments (billed hourly)
Example Project Timelines:
Simple automation script (Google Cloud/Azure): 1–2 weeks
Google Workspace automation: 2–3 weeks
Custom SharePoint site with workflows: 3–5 weeks
Azure Sentinel dashboard with custom analytics: 3–4 weeks
Complex SharePoint environment with integrations: 6–8 weeks
CMMC technical control implementation: 4–12 weeks (depending on scope)
You own everything I build—no proprietary tools, no vendor lock-in, no ongoing licensing fees.
Can't AI Just Code This for Me?
Yes—and I use it extensively. AI dramatically accelerates development and helps me solve problems faster than ever before.
But here's what AI can't do:
AI doesn't understand your business context. It writes code based on patterns, not on how your team actually works or what your compliance requirements demand.
AI doesn't validate its own output. It generates solutions that look right but may have security flaws, performance issues, or architectural problems that won't surface until production.
AI doesn't know what "good enough" means for your situation. It will over-engineer simple problems and oversimplify complex ones without understanding the trade-offs.
I'm not a "vibe coder" who accepts whatever AI generates. I spent years writing and validating code at Pfizer—one of the most heavily regulated environments in the world. When I worked on PLC systems that controlled pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment, every line of code was scrutinized because people's health depended on it working correctly.
I bring that same discipline to every project:
I use AI to accelerate development—not replace judgment
I review every line of code AI generates for security, performance, and maintainability
I dictate architecture, methods, and security controls based on your requirements
I validate solutions with the same rigor I used for FDA-audited systems
I ensure you get production-ready code, not a prototype that "mostly works"
You're not paying me to prompt ChatGPT. You're paying me for 25 years of experience knowing what questions to ask, what standards to apply, and what will actually work in your environment.
AI makes me faster. Experience makes me reliable. You get both.
Why Trust Me
25+ Years Solving Technical Problems That Need Solutions Now
I've been building custom automation and IT solutions since before "automation" was a buzzword:
Automation Engineer at Pfizer - Wrote PLC code, built custom UIs, validated code for FDA audits, and managed isolated automation infrastructure. Built a light RMM using batch scripts before RMM was even a term.
Custom ticketing system for an art museum - Built entire system using Google Apps Script and Google Sites because they didn't have the budget for commercial software and didn't need the complexity.
SharePoint PDF watermarking extension - Client needed CMMC-compliant PDF watermarking, didn't have budget for commercial tools, and needed it fast. Built a custom SharePoint button using SPFx extension and Azure Function App that solved the problem in weeks, not months.
17+ years MSP experience - Advised dozens of companies on technology implementations, budgets, and automation opportunities as COO of a 20-person MSP.
I don't build enterprise applications. I build solutions to specific problems—fast, functional, and without unnecessary complexity.
