If your business runs on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, there's a good chance you're paying for licences nobody uses, former staff can still log in, and some of your email quietly lands in spam. Most owners don't find out until something breaks. I find and fix those things before they cost you. I've spent 15+ years running IT for companies, from fixing networks hands-on to leading IT operations, and I'm Top Rated here with a 100% job success score. Things clients hire me for: ✔ "We need to move our email." Migrations between Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoho and others, with zero lost mail. ✔ "Our emails go to spam." SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up properly so your mail actually gets delivered. ✔ "Someone left the company. Is our stuff safe?" Locking down accounts and access the right way. ✔ "We're paying for software nobody uses." Licence and subscription cleanup. ✔ "Our website or server has a problem." WordPress and AWS fixes, done calmly. ✔ "We do this by hand every week." Automating repetitive work with AI workflows and CRM tools. ✔ "Nobody actually manages our IT." I can be that person, part-time, for a flat monthly fee. How I work: I explain everything in plain English, put it in writing, and never leave you with a black box. I'm in GMT+2, which overlaps UK and EU mornings as well as US East afternoons, and I'm happy to work async. No meetings unless you want them. Not sure where to start? My fixed-price Security & License Audit (in my project catalog below) checks your whole setup and gives you a written report of what's wrong, what it's costing you, and how to fix it, whether you fix it with me or not.

I help organizations turn complex ideas, data and processes into products and systems that actually work, by blending business analysis, business intelligence, product management, and project delivery. So you can move faster, operate smarter, and deliver real value to their customers. My approach is simple. I start with understanding the current state, work closely with stakeholders to define the right problem, design solutions that fit the strategy, and then stay hands-on through delivery. I make sure things it gets built, tested, and adopted. I don’t just hand over a recommendation. I help bridge the gap between business and technical teams, keep momentum when things get stuck, and make sure the end result delivers value. I care about building things that work and last.

I design and implement AI-enabled operating systems for businesses that have outgrown disconnected tools, manual follow-up, and spreadsheet-driven operations. I work with founders, COOs, and operations leaders who need their CRM, workflow automation, integrations, reporting, and AI capabilities to operate as one dependable system—not a collection of experiments. Top Rated Plus | 100% Job Success | $500K+ earned | 7,000+ Upwork hours Typical outcomes include less manual administration, faster lead and client follow-up, clearer ownership, better operational visibility, and workflows that teams actually adopt. My work spans: • AI agent and assistant systems for operational workflows, documents, and internal communication • CRM architecture, implementation, and governance, including monday workspaces • Workflow automation across sales, onboarding, delivery, support, and internal operations • API and platform integrations that remove handoffs and duplicate data entry • Executive dashboards, routing rules, alerts, reporting, and team operating rhythms • Practical AI enablement that is secure, governed, tested, and useful after launch How I engage: I begin by mapping the current process, identifying operational bottlenecks and control points, and defining the system architecture. I then build, test, document, and hand over a solution your team can run with confidence. For larger programmes, I can lead the architecture with additional specialist delivery capacity. A strong fit if you need to: • replace fragmented CRM, form, email, spreadsheet, and messaging workflows with one operating system; • improve lead response, client onboarding, or cross-team execution without adding manual headcount; • deploy AI in a way that fits real business processes, permissions, approval paths, and reporting; or • turn a promising prototype or disordered workflow into a reliable, scalable production system. If you are evaluating an IT, CRM, automation, or AI transformation initiative, invite me to discuss the workflow, operating constraints, and outcome you need to achieve.
