Is your IT infrastructure holding your business back? I help small and mid-sized businesses and the MSPs that support them- build reliable, secure, and scalable IT environments that work.
With 10+ years of hands-on experience as a Tier 3 MSP engineer, I've managed complex environments across dozens of clients: setting up and migrating to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, designing bulletproof backup strategies, hardening endpoints, and keeping infrastructure humming, even when things go wrong.
Here's where I can add immediate value:
โ MSP Support & Escalations: I step in as a senior resource when your team hits a wall. RMM tools (Datto, Syncro, Kaseya), PSA platforms (ConnectWise, Autotask), and complex escalations are my wheelhouse.
โ Backup & Disaster Recovery: I design and manage backup solutions using MSP360, Vembu, SolarWinds, and Datto Backupify, covering local, cloud, and Microsoft 365 environments so your data is always recoverable.
โ Cloud Migrations: Whether moving from on-prem to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, I handle migrations cleanly, minimizing downtime and user disruption.
โ Infrastructure & Security: From SonicWall and Sophos firewalls to VMware/Hyper-V virtualization and endpoint protection (ESET, Bitdefender), I build environments that are both performant and secure.
I'm detail-oriented, communicative, and know how to work independently; you won't need to hand-hold me if you need a senior IT professional who can hit the ground running.

๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ with over two decades of experience helping businesses stay organized, accurate, and efficient. I've completed 2,500+ projects on Upwork for clients in healthcare, real estate, ecommerce, SaaS, legal, and finance โ and I run a small, trained team through my company, Login Services, so I can scale up without losing quality control or a single point of contact.
Clients typically come to me for clean data, qualified leads, or dependable day-to-day support. Here's how I handle each one.
๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ & ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ โ
I handle high-volume, high-accuracy data work โ invoice entry, CRM record updates, database cleanup and deduplication, PDF-to-Excel/Word conversion, product listing uploads, batch proof reports, and structured data extraction from websites, PDFs, directories, and scanned documents. Every batch goes through a multi-step quality-control pass โ format checks, duplicate detection, and a final accuracy review โ before it reaches you, so you're not the one catching my errors after the fact. I also handle manual transcription (general, business, and legal/medical), captioning, and timestamping when a project calls for them.
๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง & ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ก โ
I build targeted, verified contact lists using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Lusha, SalesQL, and Crunchbase โ filtered by industry, company size, revenue, geography, decision-maker role, technology stack, funding status, or hiring activity. Beyond just sourcing names, I do data enrichment, contact verification, and CRM upload, so the list lands in your pipeline ready for outreach rather than a raw spreadsheet you still have to clean and check yourself. I've built lists for founders, marketing managers, HR professionals, and purchasing teams across healthcare, technology, real estate, manufacturing, and professional services.
๐๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐ & ๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ โ
This is the core of what I do day-to-day: email and calendar management, online research, CRM maintenance (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho), file organization, meeting agendas, reporting, form completion, and general administrative support. I also work in two specialized lanes where accuracy and confidentiality matter more than usual:
โ ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐: EMR data entry, records management, insurance verification, preauthorization requests, prescription refill coordination, scheduling, and medical transcription. I'm HIPAA-aware and treat patient data with the discretion it requires.
โ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐: legal document review and transcription, filing, PACER and CM/ECF research support, legal pleadings formatting, process documentation, and correspondence drafting.
๐๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ โ
Product listings and bulk uploads, inventory and stock updates, order fulfillment coordination, shipping label management, and catalog consistency across Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, WooCommerce, Etsy, and BigCommerce. I've also supported Amazon-specific work โ FBA coordination, listing optimization, and competitor research using Helium 10 and Jungle Scout โ for sellers who need their catalog kept clean at scale.
Industries I've supported โ
Healthcare, real estate, ecommerce, SaaS, technology, finance, education, legal, manufacturing, logistics, marketing, retail, and construction. Different industries carry different compliance and formatting expectations, and I adjust rather than treat every project the same way.
๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค โ
Most engagements start with a short kickoff to confirm format, tools, and delivery cadence, then move to a small trial batch or sample deliverable so you can check quality before committing to volume. For ongoing work, I send regular progress updates rather than going quiet until the deadline โ you shouldn't have to ask where things stand.
Tools I work in โ
Microsoft Excel & Office, Google Workspace, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Airtable, Notion, Trello, Asana, Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, WooCommerce, WordPress, and standard OCR/PDF conversion tools.
Why clients stick around โ
โ Fast turnaround without cutting corners on accuracy โ I'd rather flag a delay early than deliver something wrong on time.
โ Clear, proactive communication. If something looks off in your data or instructions, I ask before I guess.
โ Confidential handling of sensitive data, with extra care on medical and legal work.
โ Able to scale from a solo task to a multi-person project through Login Services, without losing the quality control that comes from one person owning the relationship.
If you need someone to take data entry, lead generation, or day-to-day admin off your plate โ reliably, without hand-holding โ I'd be glad to help. Message me and let's talk about what you need.
