About

With extensive engineering experience in networking, gaming, social media, cloud services and web video, combined with a lifelong passion for independent media and event production, I bring decades of technical problem solving expertise, and familiarity with a broad range of tools and technologies, to my work with every client.

Hardware manufacturers, software developers, web services and site operators do their best to make their products and services reliable and easy to use, but they can't anticipate or accommodate the nuances and details of every user's needs, or the huge set of possible interactions of the many components in even the simplest solutions. I've spent my career building these technologies, understanding how they're meant to be used, how they're actually used, how well they can work when used properly, and how disastrous, costly, and unpleasant it can be when they fail. 

I know how the best products and solutions, used correctly, can improve our quality of life, enable the success of our businesses, and the flourishing of our communities. That's what the technology in my life does for me, and what those who work with me are delighted to discover it can do for them. 

Every engagement begins with thorough needs analysis – understanding not just what you think you need, but what problems you're actually trying to solve, what constraints you're operating under, and what success looks like for your organization.

Together, we identify potential solutions, considering the full ecosystem of your existing tools, processes, and requirements. After selecting the option that's right for you, I deploy and maintain robust, secure, efficient, and solutions designed to scale with your needs while integrating seamlessly with your workflow.

Many professionals and small businesses today - myself included - are significantly more productive with AI tools; many others could be, but don't know where to start. I can help cut through the hype and find the AI that's right for you.

Past clients have included law firms, custom fabrication shops, supportive housing providers, independent content creators, and community organizations.

Contact me today to discover how the technology in your business, studio, home or community can work better for you.
