My Focus:

 Business Transformation Through Technology

Clients work with me for measurable results: hours back in their day, fewer costly errors, and faster, data-driven decisions.

In practice, that means eliminating 60+ hours of monthly manual work and slashing operational costs. For a client in tax lien investing, my system cut research time by 70% while delivering a 19% IRR.

And this isn’t just for finance. My focus is on the bottom line—turning technology into tangible, repeatable business outcomes in any industry.

Business Automation

Workflow Design & Implementation: Remove manual steps and rework—returning 60+ hours per month to your team and lowering operating costs.

AI In The Flow: Embed decisioning so research and approvals happen faster and with higher confidence.

Data-To-Action Pipelines: Turn raw data into clean, routed tasks, alerts, and reports—so work moves forward without babysitting.

Technology Strategy

My focus is on making your technology a competitive advantage, not a cost center. I deliver a clear path to get there.

Digital Roadmapping:
Replace brittle, expensive legacy systems with a modern tech stack that enables speed and opens new revenue opportunities.

Cloud Strategy: Go serverless—freeing you from on-premise hardware costs and providing secure, scalable access for your team from anywhere.

Risk & Compliance: Implement security frameworks that protect customer data, ensure you pass audits (GLBA), and reduce your risk profile, turning trust into a valuable asset.

Bottom Line: A future-proof technology plan that drives growth, reduces operational drag, and protects your business.

Performance Optimization

I find and fix the hidden drags on your company’s performance, turning wasted effort into measurable growth.

Clear KPI Tracking: Get a single source of truth for performance, so you can stop guessing and make decisions based on what the data is actually telling you.

Bottleneck Removal: Pinpoint and remove the hidden friction in your workflows that causes delays, frustration, and lost revenue.

Strategic Growth: Identify and execute on the highest-impact opportunities for expansion, turning efficiency gains into measurable market share growth, like the strategies I used to drive 50% MoM growth.

Bottom Line: Higher output, faster delivery, and a clear view of what’s driving your success.

Systems Integration

Your tools should work together, automatically. I build the bridges that make that happen, eliminating manual work for good.

Unified Platforms: Get your mission-critical apps talking to each other automatically, eliminating the manual data entry and “copy-paste” errors that kill productivity.

End-to-End Data Flow: Ensure information is where it needs to be, when it’s needed, so your team always makes decisions with current, accurate data.

Bespoke Solutions: When off-the-shelf tools can’t solve your unique challenge, I build the custom integration that makes your systems work the way your business works.

Bottom Line: A seamless tech ecosystem where data flows freely and your team can focus on their actual jobs.

AI Implementation

I move AI from a buzzword into a practical tool that gives your business a concrete advantage. This is about results, not hype.

Intelligence on Demand: Embed AI into your workflows to handle complex analysis, flag exceptions, and empower your team to make expert-level decisions in record time

Practical AI Without the Price Tag: Implement powerful AI capabilities quickly and cost-effectively, delivering tangible value in weeks, not years.

See the Future First: Build systems that analyze past data to predict future trends, identify untapped revenue opportunities, and spot risks before they impact your bottom line.

Bottom Line: Your business, augmented. Make smarter decisions, anticipate customer needs, and outmaneuver the competition.

Portfolio: 

Proven Results

Achieved 19% IRR & 70% Faster Research for a Tax Lien Investor

For Lien Wise & Deed Investments, the manual process of vetting thousands of tax liens was slow and costly. I built an end-to-end automation platform that uses AI to analyze market trends and screen opportunities. The outcome: A 70% reduction in research time, a scalable investment model, and a portfolio delivering a 19% IRR.

Eliminated 80% of Manual Lead Qualification for a Sales Team

A client’s growth was stalled by a bottleneck: their sales team spent more time qualifying leads than selling. I built an automated workflow where an AI filters all incoming leads for quality and potential.

The outcome: Only high-value, vetted leads now reach the sales team. This single automation eliminated over 80% of their manual research and qualification time, reduced lead response time from days to minutes, and ensured no valuable opportunity ever falls through the cracks.

50% Month-over-Month Growth for a B2B Service

A company’s growth had stalled due to process bottlenecks and an inability to identify their most profitable market segments. By implementing custom data-tracking and automation, we pinpointed and removed key friction points. The outcome: A proven strategy that drove 50% MoM growth and created a scalable engine for expansion.

A personal message

Technology Should Serve People, Not Frustrate Them.

After 20+ years in this industry, I’ve seen one thing repeatedly: complexity is the enemy of progress. It’s the source of wasted hours, missed opportunities, and talented people being bogged down by mind-numbing manual tasks.

My passion is cutting through that complexity. I build automation not just to make things more efficient, but to free up human potential. The best systems are the ones you don’t notice; they just work, allowing your team to focus on strategic thinking, building customer relationships, and innovating.

his is about more than just technology. It’s about building a better, smarter way to work.”
