Integrated technology capabilities focused on business outcomes
Complete technology department through one partnership: web development, infrastructure, automation, strategic planning.
Everything coordinates because it’s integrated understanding of your business, not multiple vendors optimizing for their own interests.
Core Capabilities
Web Site & Application Development
Modern web applications built for reliability and long-term sustainability. Not resume-driven development—boring, proven technology that works consistently and you can maintain.
What this includes:
- Full-stack development across frontend interfaces, backend systems, database design
- API development and integration connecting your systems without manual data entry
- Progressive enhancement that works reliably across devices
- Security best practices as standard implementation
How I approach it:
- Code written for long-term maintainability
- Documentation you can actually use
- Architecture that accommodates change
- No secret dependencies requiring ongoing vendor lock-in
Professional implementation focused on business outcomes, not impressive technical complexity.
Infrastructure & DevOps
Sovereign Infrastructure: Built on boring, proven open-source technology. No vendor lock-in, no black-box proprietary platforms. You own your systems.
What this includes:
- Server administration and infrastructure optimization for actual usage patterns
- Security hardening and monitoring that works in practice
- Deployment automation eliminating manual release processes
- Infrastructure as code creating documented, reproducible systems
Cost optimization through:
- Right-sizing resources based on real usage data
- Efficient architecture eliminating unnecessary services
- Performance optimization based on actual patterns, not theoretical best practices
Disaster recovery: Planning and backup systems you can actually execute—not documentation that sits unused.
Everything documented and transparent. No secret sauce, no vendor dependency—professional infrastructure you understand and control.
Automation & Integration
Ethical Automation: Workflows designed to respect human autonomy. No surveillance-ware, no “bossware,” no algorithms that obscure accountability.
What this includes:
- Process automation that saves real time and costs
- Workflow improvements eliminating manual drudgery and repetitive tasks
- API integrations connecting systems without manual data entry
- Custom tooling empowering your team to focus on high-value work
Worker-centered approach:
- Automation that eliminates soul-crushing tasks, not jobs
- Tools designed around how people actually work
- Focus on enhancing roles rather than threatening them
- Consideration of worker transition when processes change
Business integration:
- E-commerce platform connections
- Payment processing integration
- CRM and customer data synchronization
- Reporting automation replacing manual compilation
Technology that empowers workers to do meaningful work—not surveillance systems or job elimination disguised as efficiency.
Strategic Technology Planning
Technology decisions integrated with business outcomes, not isolated technical choices.
What this includes:
- Assessment of cost reduction opportunities, revenue impact, worker empowerment potential
- Roadmap development based on business value, not technical wishlist
- Architecture planning that accommodates growth and change
- Vendor evaluation and technology selection
Value-based prioritization:
- Every opportunity assessed through business impact lenses
- High-value work prioritized regardless of complexity
- Strategic thinking about what actually moves business forward
- Honest conversation about trade-offs and constraints
Understanding your business well enough to identify opportunities you haven’t asked for—not just building what’s requested.
Technical Stack
Languages & Frameworks: PHP, Laravel, WordPress (Roots ecosystem), JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Python
Infrastructure: Linux server administration, Docker, self-hosted solutions
Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis
DevOps: CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, automated testing, monitoring
Approach: Boring proven technology chosen for reliability and maintainability. Open source prioritized. No proprietary lock-in.
New Service: Ethical Vetting Audit
our values alignment is a strategic asset. Ensure your technology reflects it.
For organizations committed to ethical practices, I deploy anti-extractive analysis to examine your technology infrastructure, supply chain, and internal systems.
What I Audit For
Structural exploitation risks: Identifying tools, vendors, or practices that participate in geographic wage suppression, surveillance of workers, or extractive dynamics.
Process theater overhead: Diagnosing methodology bloat that drains budget without delivering value. Sprint ceremony overhead, estimation theater, management layers that add cost without outcomes.
Vendor lock-in risks: Assessing where proprietary dependencies create vulnerability. Ensuring infrastructure remains sovereign and controlled by you.
Worker impact assessment: Evaluating how technology affects your team. Identifying automation that threatens rather than enhances roles. Recommending approaches aligned with worker empowerment.
Who This Is For
Mission-aligned organizations (NGOs, ethical businesses, cooperatives) wanting to ensure their technology choices reflect their values. Organizations concerned about supply chain ethics. Teams wanting to reduce process overhead and redirect budget to actual work.
What You Get
Comprehensive assessment with specific, actionable recommendations. Not generic best practices—analysis tailored to your situation and values. Clear prioritization of what to address first.
How Capabilities Integrate
he value of partnership isn’t just technical skills—it’s integrated understanding of your business.
Web development that considers infrastructure constraints and operational realities.
Infrastructure that supports the applications and automation you need.
Automation that understands business processes and worker impact.
Strategic planning that ties everything to cost reduction, revenue impact, and worker empowerment.
One partnership instead of multiple vendors who don’t coordinate and optimize for their own interests.
What I Don’t Build
Technology for harm:
- Surveillance systems without meaningful consent or accountability
- Applications designed to manipulate, exploit, or addict users
- Military weapons systems or state surveillance infrastructure
- Automation focused on job elimination without worker consideration
- Platforms facilitating discrimination or harassment
- Systems enabling repressive institutions
Technology creating dependency:
- Secret sauce requiring ongoing vendor lock-in
- Proprietary systems you can’t maintain independently
- Complexity designed to ensure continued engagement
Exploitative arrangements:
- Work premised on geographic wage discount
- Relationships where flexibility is interpreted as desperation
- Projects with fundamental values conflicts
Technology Philosophy
Boring over trendy: Proven technology that works reliably beats impressive technology that creates problems. Your business doesn’t need cutting-edge—it needs working.
Maintainable over clever: Code someone else can understand and maintain. Documentation that helps rather than impresses. Architecture that accommodates the people who’ll work with it.
Independent over dependent: Goal is your autonomy, not your dependency. Knowledge transfer built in. Systems you can take elsewhere or bring in-house.
Worker-respecting over extractive: Technology that enhances human work rather than surveilling, pressuring, or eliminating it.
Starting a Conversation
Not sure what you need? Let’s talk about your business challenges and what creates value for your situation. I’ll tell you honestly what I can help with and what might need someone else.
Clear project in mind? Let’s discuss scope, approach, and which partnership structure makes sense.
Want to explore fit? Initial conversation costs nothing. Just honest discussion about alignment and what’s possible.
