Hire the Best Architects in Los Angeles, CA

I'm a Fractional COO and Systems Architect with 10+ years across regulated industries — mortgage finance, agriculture, manufacturing, and small-to-mid market companies. I design and build the operational backbone — SOPs, policy frameworks, and the data systems — that lets leadership stop firefighting and start scaling. My sweet spot is the bridge stage: companies that have outgrown manual processes and QuickBooks but aren't ready to commit to a $50K SaaS migration. I build the audit-ready SOPs, the ERP-style spreadsheet systems that handle real operational complexity, and — when the work calls for it — hosted backends in PHP and Supabase. I use AI throughout to accelerate the work without compromising rigor. WHAT I ACTUALLY DO FRACTIONAL COO & OPERATIONS LEADERSHIP Hands-on operational ownership for founders who've outgrown founder-mode. I bring structure to teams, processes, and reporting — and I lead the change management work that gets it adopted. I work in the system, not just on it. Particularly effective for regulated startups and growth-stage operators who need a senior operator before they can hire one full-time. Result: Decisions get made on real data, not on hunches and inboxes. SOPs, POLICY & COMPLIANCE DOCUMENTATION The audit-ready playbook your operators actually follow. Standard Operating Procedures, training frameworks, quality control structures, mock-audit programs, and GMP-aligned protocols for high-stakes regulated environments. I design workflows where the right way to work is the easiest way — so consistency holds without constant enforcement. Result: Seamless onboarding, reduced training cost, scalable execution. ERP-STYLE SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE Complex spreadsheet systems that function as a working ERP — scoring engines, inventory and pipeline tracking, financial models, operator dashboards. When scale demands it, I migrate the same architecture to a hosted backend (PHP, Supabase, Google Apps Script) so the system keeps growing with the business. Result: A unified source of truth, sized to your stage, with a clear path to where you're going. AI-AUGMENTED WORKFLOWS & DATA INTELLIGENCE AI built into the operational design — prompt libraries for SOP and document drafting, AI-assisted review pipelines, model-in-the-loop scoring and decision support. Plus the reporting layer: Looker Studio dashboards, GA4, advanced Excel/Sheets financial models. Result: Senior-operator tasks run reliably in minutes, with real-time KPI visibility on top. PROVEN IMPACT Designed and built a multi-user ERP-style operations system end-to-end — spreadsheet bridge, hosted backend, scoring logic, calibration engine, operator dashboards Authored end-to-end SOPs and audit frameworks for high-stakes regulated startups Cut operational overhead by 20% via JIT procurement redesign and workflow automation Drove a 30% productivity lift across cross-functional teams through systems integration Transitioned startups from founder-dependent chaos to 24/7 production environments 506 Upwork hours, 5.0 client review, Rising Talent SMALLER ENGAGEMENTS For shorter windows of work, I take scoped hourly engagements that draw on the same playbook — building out a single SOP set, cleaning up a CRM after a migration, leading change management through a transition, prepping a regulated business for an internal audit or compliance review, or embedding an AI workflow into an existing operation. Smaller scope, same operator. TECH STACK Google Workspace pro — Sheets, Docs, Apps Script, Looker Studio Excel power user — complex financial models, CSE arrays, multi-sheet architecture Backend & custom tooling — PHP, Supabase, Google Apps Script (when scope warrants a hosted build) Operations platforms — tool-agnostic; sheets-first foundation, with backend layered in when the work calls for it AI workflows — Claude, GPT-4, prompt engineering, retrieval/RAG Industries — Mortgage Finance, Agriculture/CEA, Manufacturing, Regulated SMB HOW TO WORK WITH ME Click "Invite to Job" and tell me what's breaking. Whether you need a Fractional COO embedded for months, a single SOP set built right the first time, or operational infrastructure that grows with you — that's where I work.

I build LLM agents, MCP servers, and retrieval systems that plug into production software. Recent work: agents that triage security and log events out of Splunk and CloudWatch. Behind that, 15+ years of full stack and cloud engineering, the last nine leading platform architecture at a national research laboratory. I am most useful when the model is the smallest part of the job. WHAT I BUILD Agents for operational work: alert triage, code review, document processing, internal automation. Wired into the systems that hold your actual data. MCP servers that connect Claude or GPT to your internal APIs, databases, and tools without routing around the access controls you already have. RAG systems where I own ingestion, retrieval, and evaluation against the questions your users are really asking. And the unglamorous half: the application, the data layer, the deployment. Python/Django, .NET, Node, React/Vue, native iOS in Swift. AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD. PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Couchbase, Redis, Elasticsearch, event driven pipelines, GraphQL and WebSocket APIs. BACKGROUND At my current work I lead platforms for security and access control, emergency mass notification, and transportation. They serve 5,000+ staff and 30,000+ annual visitors at 99.9%+ uptime. I designed the enterprise mobile build pipeline that still ships 20+ apps eight years later, and I set the architecture, code review, and release standards for a team of six engineers.

Send me the problem and your current stack, and I will tell you what I would build.
