I help growing service-based businesses turn scattered tools and manual processes into clear, reliable systems that actually support how their teams work. For the past five years, I have built and scaled a multi-state service agency with 17+ contractors and hundreds of clients annually using custom CRM and workflow systems I designed myself. I bring that same operator-level thinking to every client project. Most of my work includes: • CRM design, cleanup, and optimization • Automation across Airtable, Zapier, Slack, and Google Workspace • Clean data structure and reporting logic • Client onboarding systems and SOP documentation Clients work with me because I do not just connect tools. I look at how the business actually runs and build systems that reduce friction, save time, and scale with growth. If your team is outgrowing spreadsheets or duct-taped workflows, I can help you build something structured and sustainable.
