About

I help organizations get software actually working — not just installed. My background is in software engineering support, which means I've spent a lot of time on the other side of the ticket, seeing exactly where implementations go sideways after go-live.

These days I focus on technical implementation: running discovery, translating what people say they need into requirements a build team can act on, configuring the systems, and staying through UAT until the thing holds up in real use.

I'm based in Nashville, Tennessee and work with clients worldwide — fully remote, or on-site when a project calls for being in the room.

What I do

Discovery & requirements

Stakeholder interviews, process mapping, and user stories that survive contact with a build team.

Implementation & configuration

Hands-on system setup, data migration, integrations, and workflow automation.

Scoping & estimation

Realistic effort estimates and statements of work, grounded in what the build actually takes.

UAT & enablement

Test plans, validation tracking, and training so the team can run it without me.

Areas
