Practical engineering that gives your team time back.

Three core ways I help, though most projects start as one and grow into a mix. Every one begins with the business problem, not the technology.

01

Workflow Automation

Best when your team does the same thing over and over

The repetitive, error-prone steps that fill a working day rarely need a human, triage, data entry, status updates, the Monday report. I find those steps and make them happen on their own in the background, so your team spends its hours on judgement and customers instead.

  • Automated triage and routing so the right work lands in the right place
  • Hands-off data entry and updates that remove copy-and-paste mistakes
  • Scheduled reports and alerts that arrive before anyone has to ask
02

Custom Tools & Scripts

Best when the software is fine but the experience isn't

Sometimes the system works, it's just slow, cluttered, or easy to get wrong. Instead of replacing it, I build bespoke tools that layer right on top, with no new platform to learn and nothing to migrate. That's exactly what Sniper does for a service desk, see it on the Work page.

  • Browser tools and userscripts that reshape an interface you can't change
  • Keyboard-driven shortcuts for the actions your team repeats all day
  • Smart highlighting and alerts that surface what's about to slip
03

Systems Integration

Best when your tools don't talk to each other

When data lives in one system but is needed in another, people become the integration, retyping and reconciling by hand. I get your tools talking to each other directly, working out undocumented systems where needed, and verify it all against live data so it holds up under real load.

  • API connections between the apps you already pay for
  • Undocumented systems mapped and made to cooperate
  • Reliable data movement that keeps both sides in sync
How an engagement runs

Clear from the first call.

STEP 01

Understand

A conversation about what you're trying to achieve and where the day slows down.

STEP 02

Scope

I tell you what I'd build, what it would change, and roughly what it takes. No pressure, no jargon.

STEP 03

Build

I build and test against live data, sharing progress so there are no surprises at the end.

STEP 04

Support

You get something usable on day one, and I refine it as the work changes.

Not sure which one you need?

That's normal. Describe the problem in plain terms and I'll tell you what would actually fix it.
