Services

Focused engagements. No bloat. Delivered by someone who has built and run systems at scale.

Service areas

Custom Development & Integration

APIs · Webhooks · Line-of-business systems · Internal tools

Most organizations don't need a new platform — they need the platforms they already own to talk to each other. We design and build the connective tissue: APIs, integration layers, data sync pipelines, and internal tooling that eliminates manual handoffs and keeps your systems in agreement. Work is scoped tightly, documented clearly, and built to survive the original developer moving on.

  • Bi-directional sync between a CRM, ERP, or accounting system and downstream tools
  • Webhook handlers and event-driven integrations between SaaS platforms
  • Internal admin portals and operations dashboards replacing spreadsheet workflows
  • Custom APIs enabling third-party or partner access to your data on your terms

Data, AI & Automation

AI tooling · Automation · Data pipelines · Document processing

We build practical AI into the workflows where it actually changes outcomes — not as a strategic initiative, but as a targeted tool for a specific problem. Document classification, intelligent routing, automated response drafting, anomaly detection, and workflow triggers that eliminate repetitive work. We focus on the one or two applications that genuinely move a metric, not the demo that impresses the board meeting.

  • AI-powered document parsing, classification, and data extraction from unstructured sources
  • Automated customer communication workflows triggered by real operational events
  • Data pipelines moving operational data from source systems into analytics or reporting layers
  • Anomaly detection and alerting systems for operational or financial data streams

Architecture & Technical Leadership

System design · Cloud advisory · Fractional CIO · Technology strategy

Senior technology judgment on-demand. We advise on system architecture, cloud infrastructure decisions, vendor selection, and technology roadmaps — without the overhead of a full-time hire. This is the engagement for organizations making a significant technology decision and wanting someone in the room who has made similar decisions before, at scale, with real consequences.

  • Cloud architecture review and migration planning (AWS, GCP, Azure, hybrid)
  • Technical due diligence for acquisitions, vendor evaluations, or platform decisions
  • Fractional CIO retainer: ongoing technology leadership available monthly
  • Security posture review and infrastructure hardening recommendations

Operations, Monitoring & Reliability

Observability · Incident response · Recovery planning · Health checks

Systems that aren't monitored eventually surprise you at the worst possible time. We design and implement the operational layer around your systems — monitoring, alerting, runbooks, recovery procedures, and the organizational habits that turn incidents into recoveries instead of disasters. Built from 15 years of running enterprise IT where downtime has real dollar costs.

  • End-to-end monitoring and alerting for critical business systems and workflows
  • Incident response planning and runbook development for your most critical failure modes
  • Backup, recovery, and continuity planning — tested, not just documented
  • Operational health dashboards giving your team real-time visibility into system state

Engagement models

Three ways to work together, depending on what you need.

Project Audit — $499

A focused assessment of a specific system, workflow, or technology decision. Deliverable: a written analysis with concrete recommendations and a prioritized next-step plan.

Typical timeline: 3–5 business days.

Defined Engagement — $1,500–$2,000

A scoped piece of work with clear deliverables — a system built, an integration completed, a technical specification finished and ready to hand off.

Scope agreed upfront. Fixed or milestone-based pricing.

Fractional CIO Retainer — from $249/mo

Ongoing access to senior technology leadership. Monthly hours, standing availability for decisions, and Hank — our AI system — running analysis in the background continuously.

Cancel anytime. Month-to-month.
