I straighten out your software
and make it work for you.
First call is free.
The spreadsheet everyone is afraid to touch. The Access database only one laptop can open. The website nobody can update. The PDF form that will not fill in. The Linux box nobody wants to log into. I fix these quickly and correctly, explain them in plain words, and leave them working. When nothing off the shelf fits, I build what you need. You get your energy back for growing the business, and your evenings back for your family. $225 an hour, or a fixed price with a written scope.
If it runs on a computer, I can probably straighten it out.
Formulas and macros that broke, VBA nobody can read, files that got too big, reports that take all Monday, the Access database from 2009 that still does the invoicing. Microsoft 365, SQL Server, MySQL. I fix it, speed it up, and when it is time, move it somewhere more than one person can use.
It keeps working after I leave.
WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, hand-built, or whatever your nephew made. Pages that need changing, forms that stopped sending, hosting and email that got tangled, a domain renewal nobody can find.
You get the logins and a page of notes.
Fillable PDFs that actually fill, contracts and estimates generated from what you already typed, signatures collected without printing, document templates your office can reuse.
Less retyping, less paper.
The Linux server, the hosting account, the backup that may or may not be running, the thing a past contractor set up and left. I look, I document, I fix, and I set it up so it does not need me again.
Backed up, patched, written down.
Quotes to jobs to invoices, a customer list shaped like your sales process, the emailed orders that get retyped into QuickBooks, the data that has to move from the old system to the new one without losing anything. I build the piece that is missing and connect it to what you already pay for.
Built to fit, owned by you.
Where AI actually saves you hours (drafting, reading documents, follow-ups), I put it inside the tools you have. Where it does not, I say so. And I teach your people what to trust and what to check.
You decide how far to go.
Free call. Working session. Fixed price. Keys.
Twenty minutes on the phone or Zoom. You tell me what is fighting you; I tell you straight what it is, how I would fix it, and what it would cost.
An hour on Zoom, or $625 for a half day at your desk in Jersey City, Hoboken, NYC and nearby, travel included. Most fixes happen right here, with you watching.
Bigger jobs are quoted with a written scope. Part up front, balance on delivery. Changes quoted before they are done.
Logins, files, code and notes in your name. I do not need leverage to get you to come back.
Thirty-plus years as a software engineer and systems architect: Wall Street infrastructure, a bookkeeping company where I built the QuickBooks integrations myself, Access and Excel systems that ran whole businesses, Linux servers, websites, and the custom software in between. I have seen most of the ways software goes wrong in a small office, and I explain it without the jargon. I do the work myself; on bigger builds I direct other engineers and answer for the result.
A business that lived in a single Access database, rebuilt as a web app with its data and history intact, reachable from a phone, backed up, and still running. Read it →
Your customer list, your pricing, your margins. I sign what you need signed, and I never show your business as an example without your written say-so.
Based in Jersey City. On-site half days across Hudson County, Newark and Manhattan with travel included. Everywhere else on Zoom, screen shared, you watching.
Tell me what is fighting you.
One reply, usually the same day, with a couple of times to talk. No card, no obligation.
