Small companies in rapid growth phases hit a wall when their systems can't keep up. Spreadsheets break down, platforms don't talk to each other, data gets messy, and suddenly the infrastructure that got you here is the thing slowing you down. That's where I come in. I specialize in building and fixing the technical backbone that fast-growing small organizations need — Salesforce administration, platform migrations, integrations, and data infrastructure — so you can scale without your systems becoming a liability. I've done this across regulated industries where data accuracy isn't optional: drinking water compliance, food safety certifications, agricultural operations, and nonprofit development. That background means I bring a level of precision and accountability to systems that most generalists don't. What I'm particularly good at is the work that makes migrations actually succeed — not just moving data, but cleaning it first. I've deduplicated and rebuilt records from multiple legacy databases, designed custom Salesforce objects from scratch, prepared compliance documentation for system transitions, and led pre- and post-migration testing. I use AI tools strategically — to research compliance requirements deeply, explore workflow options, and accelerate problem-solving — which means I get up to speed fast on new domains without billing you for the learning curve. I work independently, communicate proactively, and don't need micromanaging. I'm the person you bring in when you need someone to own a project start to finish — assess where things stand, build a plan, execute it cleanly, and hand you something that works and will grow with you. I typically help with: * Salesforce administration, custom object design, flows, and cleanup * Platform migrations — including data export, cleanup, field mapping, and testing * Data deduplication and integrity validation before and after migrations * Compliance documentation and regulatory data management * Building systems infrastructure that supports rapid growth * Training, SOPs, and documentation so your team can run what I build I work best with small and mid-sized companies that are growing faster than their systems, don't have a full-time tech person on staff, and need someone who can step in, assess quickly, and build something solid. If you're at the stage where you're outgrowing your old tools and need to get your infrastructure right before the next phase of growth — that's exactly where I do my best work.
