Practical systems for how your business runs and how it's powered.

Two focused practices, one operator's mindset. Every engagement starts with the bottleneck or cost you actually have — then works back to the smallest change that fixes it.

Practice 01

AI Integration

Since 2022 I've built applied-AI and LLM-driven workflows into client and own-business systems — to automate processes and eliminate operational bottlenecks. The goal is never "AI for AI's sake." It's removing the manual step that's slowing you down.

Workflow automation

LLM-driven process design that handles triage, routing, and repetitive operational work.

Context engineering

Structuring data and prompts so AI produces reliable, reviewable output.

Custom systems

Scheduling, CRM, lead intake, and operational dashboards tailored to your workflow.

Bottleneck analysis

Find the real constraint, then deploy with low disruption to the working operation.

Clean-Energy Power Systems

Clean-energy advisory since 2015 — battery, solar, and hybrid power design for businesses transitioning away from gas and diesel generators. I've designed, built, and tested these systems on my own fleet, so the recommendations come with the practical detail most advisors can't provide.

Battery / solar / hybrid

System design and deployment sized to your real load and duty cycle.

Generator replacement

Cut fuel, noise, and emissions while improving reliability.

Backup & resilience

Keep critical operations running through outages and peak demand.

Energy-cost reduction

Lower ongoing operating cost, not just upfront capability.

Also available

Systems consulting for SMBs

The foundation underneath both practices: four decades of enterprise networking, software development, and operational systems.

Custom development

Scheduling systems, CRM implementations, catering and sales applications built around your process.

Systems architecture

Network design, data integration, and the technical plumbing that lets the rest of your tools work together.

Technical advisory

A senior technologist on call for decisions you don't want to make alone — without a full-time hire.

How we work

A simple, low-risk path

1

Assess & roadmap

We find the real constraint and lay out the smallest set of changes that move it — with honest tradeoffs.

2

Implement

I build and deploy — workflow, system, or power setup — with minimal disruption to your working operation.

3

Ongoing advisory

Stay on call as needs evolve. Project-based, advisory, or fractional engagements all welcome.

Available for project-based, advisory, or fractional engagements.

Tell me where it hurts.

Describe the bottleneck or cost you'd most like off the table. I'll tell you honestly whether AI, clean energy, or neither is the right move.
