Poise · noun · calm, steady control

Somewhere along the way, you became the bottleneck.

I build the software, automation, and AI that hand you back your time, your control, and your calm. The same person who listens to your problem designs it, builds it, and stays after to tune it. I also built HumbleSuite.

You are the one holding it all together

You answer every question, catch every dropped ball, and fix what breaks, until the tools that were supposed to help became ten browser tabs and a spreadsheet held together with tape. That is the knot I untie. I hand the heavy, repeated work to software that just does it, quietly, every time.

You get the person, not a salesperson

Most help comes in two flavors: a big company that treats you like a ticket number, or an advisor who hands you a slide deck and disappears. I am neither. I sit beside you, build the fix myself, and stay to tune it. More than 12 years in grants and finance, a Bachelor of Science to back it, and 14 years of writing code. Based near Colorado Springs, working with people all over the country.

More about me
  • I actually build it. Real software in Python, SQL, JavaScript, and React, not just advice.
  • I start free. A real conversation and a real first look cost you nothing.
  • I would rather you win. Low prices, honest trades, and work that pays for itself.

What working together looks like

Clean Impact LLC
Commercial cleaning, proposals and operations

"I met with a customer who was straightforward, walked to my truck, and submitted her proposal right from my phone."

Carmen Garcia
Retired Financial Director, Anschutz Medical Campus

"He slowed everything down, explained the why as much as the how, and never made me feel stupid for asking. Now I build my own reports and keep learning every session."

A calm, simple path

1
A free call
No charge, no pressure.

Tell me what feels heaviest. I point to the one or two spots costing you the most time and peace.

2
A clear plan
Plain language, fair price, or a trade.

A simple map of what we fix and what it costs. We even start the first piece free so you can feel it.

3
Built and handed off
I do the heavy lifting.

I build it, you test it with me, and I stay close after launch to tune it to how you really work.

Pay what fits you, or let us trade.

The first call, the first look, and your honest review are always free. My rate is 80 dollars an hour, and I bend it to your budget, not mine. Old school bartering is welcome here. And yes, I will happily trade for good food.
