Your operation already runs on systems. Most were never designed.
01 · THE PROBLEMGlue-work
Your best people spend their days re-typing data between tools that were never introduced to each other. That's not a staffing problem — it's a missing system.
Swivel-chair operations
Order in one screen, status in a second, invoice in a third. Every swivel is a delay, an error budget, and a person who can never take a holiday.
Knowledge that walks out the door
The one person who understands how the integration works is leaving in March, and none of it is written down. That isn't a staffing problem — it's a knowledge problem.
One method. Four stages. No theater.
02 · THE METHODDiagnose
Two weeks inside your operation. Where the hours go, where the errors breed, what the real constraint is — which is never what the brief said.
Architect
The target system on one page: components, flows, owners, failure modes. Boring technology chosen on purpose. Decisions documented with their reasoning.
Build
Shipped in slices, each one live in production before the next begins. Your team operates slice one while slice two is built. No big-bang cutover, ever.
Run
Monitored, maintained, evolved. The system earns its keep quarter after quarter — or you'll see exactly why in the numbers, because everything is measured.
Three things I bring to the table.
03 · WHAT I DOTechnical leadership
A senior technical voice for as many days as you need. Roadmap and priorities, build-or-buy and vendor decisions, guiding developers, and a straight answer when technology is on the management agenda.
Architecture
How your ERP, webshop, invoicing, telephony and infrastructure fit together — on one page, with every decision written down and its reasoning kept. Knowledge that stays when people leave.
Security
Hardening, vulnerability management and access control for the systems you already run. Findings ranked by real risk and tracked until they are closed.
Fields I know first-hand
Security isn't a phase. It's how the system is built.
04 · SECURITYMost breaches don't start with a genius attacker. They start with an unpatched server, a key left in a repository, a protocol nobody wrote down. I build security into the systems I design, and I review the ones you already run — with findings you can act on, not a PDF of scanner output.
Review & hardening
An audit of what you actually run: servers, containers, TLS, headers, secrets, access and dependencies. Every finding numbered, ranked by real risk, and tracked to closure — not filed and forgotten.
Vulnerability intelligence
My own vulnerability intelligence platform reads twenty public advisory feeds — NVD, CISA KEV, GitHub Advisories and more — every thirty minutes, and matches them against the software your systems really run. You hear about the CVE that matters, not the thousand that don't.
Patched in practice
I run around forty client sites on a platform I built and maintain. When a critical vulnerability lands, the whole fleet gets patched and verified — so the advice you get comes from doing it, not from a checklist.
Output: numbered findings, a remediation plan, and the fixes shipped — by the person who wrote the report.
Ask for a security reviewYou're not hiring an agency. You're getting a technical partner at the table.
I've spent my career inside other people's operations — print floors, warehouses, hardware labs, e-commerce back offices. The pattern never changes: the company isn't short on software, it's short on someone who knows how it all fits together.
No agency layers, no juniors learning on your budget. I lead every engagement myself: the person who diagnoses your operation is the person who makes the call and answers the phone when something breaks. Where a product needs a team, I lead the team.
Three ways in. One of them costs less than the problem costs you per week.
06 · ENGAGEMENTSSystems Diagnostic
Two weeks inside your operation. You get a written, quantified verdict on where the hours and errors actually go — and what to build first.
- Process + systems inventory
- Quantified findings report
- Prioritized build plan
- Yours to keep, or shop around
Architecture Review
A written map of what you run: how the systems connect, where they are fragile, and the decisions behind them — with a ranked list of what to change first.
- System map on one page
- Decision record, with reasoning
- Risks ranked by impact
- Yours to keep and share
Technical Leadership
Senior technical leadership, for the days you need it. Roadmap, vendors, hiring, security posture — and a technical voice at the management table.
- Monthly leadership days
- Security posture, reviewed quarterly
- Vendor, hiring and build-or-buy calls
- One phone number when it matters
No discovery calls. No proposals. A diagnostic, with a verdict.
Tell me about your operation. If it's a fit, we book the two-week diagnostic. If it isn't, I'll tell you that in the first email — and usually point you somewhere better.
You write
Three sentences about your operation and what's breaking. No forms longer than that deserve to exist.
I answer — with a verdict
Within two working days: fit or no fit, and why. No "let's hop on a call to explore synergies."
We diagnose
Two weeks, fixed price, written findings. Everything after that is your decision, made with real information.
