You’re facing a technical challenge that’s blocking your progress, but hiring a full-time expert doesn’t make sense. You don’t need someone to hold your hand through basic tasks - you need strategic guidance, technical problem-solving, and honest advice from someone who’s been there before.
That’s where focused consulting makes sense. Get expert guidance when you need it, without the overhead of permanent staff or the limitations of generic advice.
When Consulting Actually Makes Sense
You’re Stuck on a Specific Problem Your team hit a wall with a technical implementation, architectural decision, or integration challenge. You need someone with experience to review your approach and suggest solutions.
You Need Strategic Technical Direction Before investing significant time and money, you want validation of your technical approach, technology stack choices, or implementation strategy.
You’re Evaluating Tools and Approaches Should you build or buy? Which automation platform fits your needs? How do you integrate system A with system B? Get answers from someone who’s actually implemented these solutions.
You Want an Independent Technical Review Your vendor is recommending an expensive solution, your team is pushing for the latest trendy technology, or you need someone to sanity-check a proposal before signing.

Common Consulting Scenarios
“Should we build this ourselves or buy a solution?” I’ll help you evaluate the true costs, timeline, and risks of each approach based on your specific situation and technical capabilities.
“Our automation keeps breaking - what are we doing wrong?” Let’s review your current setup, identify the failure points, and design more robust workflows that can handle real-world conditions.
“We need to integrate these systems but our vendor says it’s impossible.” I’ll assess the technical requirements and provide alternatives your vendor might not have considered.
“This seems too expensive/complex - is there a simpler way?” Often there is. I’ll review proposals and suggest alternatives that might achieve the same goals with less complexity and cost.

Or contact me with your challenge
I’ve been solving complex technical problems since 2009. You’ll work directly with me - not junior consultants or account managers. I use the same technologies and face the same challenges I help you solve, so my advice comes from real experience, not textbook theory.
