I am a retired Professional (Rice Univ. & Tx PE#87249) looking for meaningful part-time freelance work. During my 40+ years in the Energy Engineering/Construction business my experience ranged from Project Engineering to Project Management to Executive to litigation support as a testifying expert. My UpWork offerings are multiple: TECHNICAL WRITING/EDITING/WHITE PAPERS is my primary intended work. My experience is ideally suited to it, and also fits my intended part time work schedule. See my Specialized Profile for more details. ENGINEERING Specialty Services which will somewhat overlap with the above, but also include specific work such as developing RFP's, Proposals, and the evaluation of bids, and also include specialized work such as evaluation of Claims, development of same, and if needed, expert work, including affidavits and testimony. In cases where a Texas PE is needed, I can provide assistance in certain matters. [I'm NOT a Civil/Structural Engineer, but Mechanical by license. ].

LEGAL DISCOVERY I was Director of E-Discovery in the Halliburton/KBR Law Dept for 6+ years, followed by a stint as Director in FTI's Technical Sector, then as an independent E-Discovery Consultant and Testifying Expert in Civil Litigation. These were the nascent years of E-Discovery, including the 2006 new FRCP rules on E-Discovery. I became a nationally-recognized expert in E-Discovery, and served on numerous panels and was a frequent speaker on the subject, esp. re: corporate best practices. I managed the review of dozens of matters in a variety of platforms, Relativity being the leader at the time. I am now offering my knowledge and services in this area, as an advisor, document reviewer, consultant re: motions re: discovery [proportionality] or as testifying expert. I'm primarily interested in working from home or within the greater Houston area. I will be happy to send CV's, writing samples on request.

Most businesses don’t have a data problem — they have a clarity problem. I help companies turn messy processes, scattered data, and manual workflows into clean, simple systems that actually drive decisions. With a background in managing large-scale projects and complex operations, I specialize in building tools that business owners and teams can actually use — not overly complicated dashboards that sit unused. Here’s what I can help you with: • Excel dashboards (KPIs, financials, project tracking, forecasting) • Business process documentation (SOPs, workflows, internal systems) • Automation setup (reducing manual work using AI + simple tools) • CRM and lead tracking systems for small/local businesses How I work: 1. Understand what you're trying to track or fix 2. Build a clean, simple system tailored to your workflow 3. Deliver something you can actually use immediately I focus on speed, clarity, and usability — not overengineering. If you need something built quickly and correctly the first time, I can help. I may be new to Upwork but I am not new to my work. Get me while I am cheap! Send me a message with what you're trying to accomplish and I’ll tell you exactly how I’d approach it.
