Fractional Technology Leadership
Your business has a technology problem. I solve it.
A stalled software rollout. Manual work that won't scale. Systems that don't talk to each other. I'm a technology leader with 30 years and 250+ projects behind me — I find the why before the what, then fix it on the platforms you already own. And because I now run the work through a team of AI agents instead of a room of consultants, that senior-level fix costs a fraction of what it used to.

Same judgment. A fraction of the cost.
Solving a business problem well used to take eight people — project manager, business analyst, solution architect, developers, a senior reviewer, QA, and DevOps — plus the constant meetings and handoffs between them. That coordination is the cost. I ran a 20-person firm that worked exactly this way. Now I keep the senior judgment where it belongs — with me, on your problem — and direct a team of AI agents to do everything in between.
Traditional approach
- ○ Project manager + business analyst
- ○ Solution architect
- ○ Developer(s)
- ○ Senior developer (code review)
- ○ QA engineer
- ○ DevOps / admin
- ○ PM coordination throughout

How I deliver
- You + me
We dig into the why — your workflows, the real problem, what success looks like
- AI-automated
Architecture · Development · Code review · QA · Documentation
- You + me
I verify every result and deploy — you sign off on the outcome, not the code
A senior leader on both ends. AI doing the volume in between.
The result: solving the problem the right way costs less than buying a generic product and bending your business around it — built on the platform you already run, with no new vendor to manage. Real example: a purchasing system a traditional team estimated at ~80 hours, designed and shipped in about 14.
Featured case study
Rebuilding a distributor's entire technology backbone
A family-owned, multi-brand wholesale distributor came to me with an ERP implementation off the rails, siloed systems, and paper-based warehouse operations. Over roughly ten months I replaced the failing vendor, fixed a platform-wide performance bug, built a custom warehouse management system from scratch, rebuilt and launched their ecommerce store, rolled out retail POS, and introduced AI across the organization — all under budget.
- $28K vs. $168K — custom WMS build
- $60–80K/yr — licensing avoided
- $25K vs. $36K — ecommerce rebuild vs. agency retainer

If you know something's holding the business back but can't name the one thing to fix first, that's exactly what a Technology Roadmap is for. I look at the systems you run and talk to the people who use them — from sales and procurement to fulfillment, support, and cash flow — and come back with a clear, prioritized plan for where technology will actually pay off.
How Our Technology Roadmap Works
Our proven three-step process
Discover
I sit down with the people doing the work — sales, operations, fulfillment, finance — and map how things actually run. This is the why before the what: I won't prescribe a fix until I understand the problem.
Assess
I find where technology and AI will move the needle most, and — just as importantly — where they won't. You get an honest read, not a pitch for whatever I happen to sell.
Recommend
You get a plain-English roadmap: quick wins you can act on now, and a longer-term plan tied to real business outcomes. Clear enough to hand to your team, specific enough to build from.
