JIRA CONSULTING I've been involved with over 1,000 project teams in Jira during my 10+ years as an Atlassian Architect. These projects came from all business functions, and there were a few that I helped grow into 500-1,000 person initiatives. While working with 3M, the user presence went from 2,000 users to over 14,000. I was able to scale our operations along with this exponential growth and received several customer services accolades even though the size of our team stayed the same. I have an extensive background in agile, process improvement, and lean six sigma. After running many successful installations, upgrades, integrations with other systems, and optimization projects within this space - I take pride in delivering a quality experience & empowering end-users. PROJECT/PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT I have led more than a dozen projects over the past few years within the software development space. Leveraging my PMP, Agile Scrum Master, & Product Owner certifications - these have largely been a success. I enjoy being able to work with teams around the globe and have been able run projects in a wide variety of businesses: Medical, Sales, Automotive, Aerospace, Personal Safety, & End-user training.

Most Jira and SharePoint environments don’t fail because of the tools — they fail because workflows, permissions, and governance were never designed end-to-end. I help organizations fix messy Jira and Confluence setups and, when needed, align them with Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, Entra, Exchange) so teams can actually execute instead of fighting their systems. With 10+ years of experience, I design, migrate, and optimize Jira, Confluence, and SharePoint environments for teams that need reliability, clarity, and scalability — not duct-taped workarounds. Atlassian (Jira, JSM, Confluence) • Jira project, workflow, automation, and permission architecture • Jira Service Management setup (SLAs, queues, request types) • Reporting & visibility (dashboards, SLAs, BigPicture, Tempo) • Cloud migrations, consolidation, and instance cleanup • Confluence spaces, templates, knowledge bases, and governance Microsoft 365 / SharePoint • SharePoint information architecture and site design • Permission models, document management, and metadata strategy • Integration with Teams, Power Automate, and Jira • Governance, compliance, and lifecycle management Solutions Architecture & Optimization • Workflow and process analysis • Jira ↔ SharePoint ↔ Teams integrations • Training, adoption, and best-practice enablement 🌟Why Work With Me • System-Level Thinking – I don’t just configure tools; I design how work flows across Jira, Confluence, and Microsoft 365. • Business-First Design – Every workflow, permission, and automation maps to real business processes. • Proven Delivery – Successful implementations for startups, mid-size companies, and enterprise teams with measurable improvements in delivery and adoption. If your Jira environment is hard to manage, your SharePoint setup is chaotic, or your tools don’t work together, let’s fix it properly. Message me to discuss your current state and the fastest path to a clean, scalable solution.
