// operations · processes · the tools that connect them

I map how the work actually flows, and build the tools that make it stick.

Operations and process consulting for small businesses, growing associations and product teams. No pressure. No jargon.

// what I build

From a blank page to something people use every day.

I work end to end, designing how it should feel, building the thing itself, and wiring up the systems that keep it running.

Websites & web apps

Modern, fast, responsive sites and applications, designed and coded with care to fit your brand and the way you actually work.

designHTML/CSS/JSresponsive

Internal tools & automation

The portals, dashboards, and quiet little tools that take busywork off your plate, built in Python, SQL, and modern web stacks.

Systems & delivery

The operator's edge: I scope it, plan it, and run the build like a project, so what we make ships on time and actually lands.

Recent builds.

Two recent client builds, a global members' platform and an operations turnaround on a shop floor.

The Value Web
Platform migration

A member platform they own

Moved a global community off rented software onto a self-owned platform spanning Academy, Assembly & Advocacy.

Ops & tooling

Getting the dates to hold

A custom window and door shop was late on a third of its jobs and paying 9% of revenue in rework. One signed spec sheet fixed most of it.

// how we work together

You’ll always know where things stand.

Every engagement runs through a private client portal. Proposals, progress, design reviews, documents, and invoices in one place, so you are never chasing me for a status update.

One live project view

Milestones, progress, and what is coming next, updating as the work moves. If a date slips, you see it when I do.

Review designs in place

Pages get shared to your portal. Leave feedback exactly where you mean it, or sign off when you are happy.

Documents and invoicing

Everything produced during the engagement lives in one place, tied to the milestones you already agreed. It stays there after we finish.

// what's in the lab

A cashless event platform, built for one real night.

This one's still a prototype, a working platform I built for a single after-hours event at a major cultural institution, where guests pay, order, and explore entirely from their phones while staff run the floor from a companion console. The bones are real: a white-label system any venue, festival, or institution could run an event on.

Guest

Pay and order from your phone

A prepaid event wallet, order-ahead food and drinks with a live "ready for pickup" ping, and bar tabs. No cash, no lines.

Explore

A venue that guides itself

A tap-to-explore floor map, self-guided tours, and a "what's next" line-up with per-act reminders.

Operations

The whole floor on one screen

Vendor pickup queues, live stock, refunds, drag-and-drop vendor onboarding, and a console for VIP and complimentary access.

Backend

Real plumbing, no overhead

One lightweight backend runs the wallets, orders, and live reconciliation. No app store, no hardware. It runs in a browser.

Want first access? I'll email you the moment these launch.

// about me

An unusual route to building software.

I got here by way of the lab and the construction site.

My foundation is in life sciences and biochemistry, where I learned to think in systems, evidence, and process. From there I went deep into professional practice and project management in design-build architecture and engineering, delivering complex facilities across Canada's biomedical landscape, including radiopharmaceutical environments, where precision and compliance are not optional.

I've never worked in just one lane. I've sat at the table with scientists, engineers, architects, and operators, and I've shipped real things under real constraints. Now I bring that same rigor to software and the web, building tools that are clear, durable, scalable, and a genuine pleasure to use.
