I take over live applications when the team that built them is gone.
Independent consultant in Birmingham, Alabama. For three decades I've been the technical owner of other people's systems — the outsourced in-house development department for a manufacturer, the virtual CTO for a software company with a non-technical founder, and the person who takes over when a team leaves and the application still has to run tomorrow.
| Application Takeover | Your developer left. I take over the codebase, hosting, integrations, and support. |
| Delivery Rescue | Your product is stuck at 90%. I finish it and get it into production. |
| Managed Operations | Hosting, monitoring, debugging, and releases for applications that have to stay up. |
| Fractional CTO | The technical half of your company on customer calls and architecture decisions. |
- A classroom STEM platform that multiplexed a whole class onto one Raspberry Pi — with student-written code executing on payloads aboard the ISS
- An Arabic-language portal for a crewed mission's student science sessions, hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to satisfy in-country data-residency law, sized for a million participants
- A life sciences compliance product taken from stalled to launch and into production with international customers; later acquired
- A revenue-generating application kept running without interruption after its entire development team left
