    Hi, I’m Kevin. I help healthcare organizations and businesses fix their toughest IT issues — whether it's a SQL Server running slow, an Azure migration that needs cleanup, or automating repetitive tasks with PowerShell scripts. I've been doing this for over 25 years, 15 in healthcare, and still love diving into tricky problems and getting systems humming again. I can also work with the many uses of Python scripting to do just about anything. ETL as well.
