Note From The Principal

Projects where I'm most helpful focus on creating value through simple, scalable, lovable solutions to structural business problems. I'm a cloud generalist (think general contractor for cloud projects) with access to specialist resources who can be consulted or sub-contracted if/when they are useful. Engagements and billing follow Agile/SCRUM iterative rhythms to accelerate deployment of real value and align incentives between iterations' tasks and projects' goals.

In all work I seek to practice the values of Authenticity, Empathy, and Ambition.

I believe that:

  • Automation frees humans for work that requires creativity and empathy
  • Creative, empathic work is a cornerstone of well-functioning communities and economic value
  • Value is created through strong relationships and trust
  • Trust is earned through consistently delivering value
  • Consistency requires short iterations and frequent, candid feedback

If a professional relationship based on these values and beliefs sounds like the right fit for you, please get in touch. Getting starting often takes less than a week. I look forward to working with you.
