    Software rollouts and integrations fail more often on process than on code, unclear requirements, undocumented workflows, and technical teams talking past business stakeholders. I solve that gap. I spent years implementing and configuring integrations within a software company's proprietary platform by setting up connections, mapping data, and getting systems working together through the application's own tools, no custom development required. When the data doesn't reconcile, I can get into it directly: I've used SQL to track down and resolve ERP data issues that would otherwise have broken reports or derailed a go-live. I take a system from requirements to working rollout and document it so it survives long after I'm gone. With over a decade in IT spanning telecommunications to government, I turn tangled processes into precise Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), clear business requirements, and process maps your whole team can follow. I work fluently between technical and business teams, translating, facilitating, and keeping everyone aligned from kickoff through handoff. That bridge is exactly where most implementations live or die. 💼What I Do Software implementation & integration (configuration-based) SOPs & process documentation Business requirements Process mapping & improvement Data mapping Change management Stakeholder & SME facilitation Software training Agile & Waterfall delivery 🧰Toolkit Project & Ticketing: Jira, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, Service Cloud Financial: Dynamics GP/SL, Sage, QuickBooks, MAS90 Timekeeping: Workforce Central, Telestaff CRM: Salesforce, Dynamics CRM Data: SQL (SSMS) for querying & troubleshooting ERP data Documentation: Scribe, Adobe AI: Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT Plus Microsoft Office & Google Suite 🤝 Soft skills: Facilitation Problem-solving Exceptional Communication Relationship Management Cross-Functional Collaboration Adaptability Leadership If you need someone who can implement and configure your software and leave behind documentation your team will actually use, send me a message!

    I build and maintain VB.NET Windows Forms applications with SQL Server and Microsoft Access backends. With 35+ years of experience, I handle the full stack — systems analysis, database design, stored procedures, UI development, and API integrations (Salesforce, Stripe, QuickBooks). I specialize in custom line-of-business applications where off-the-shelf software doesn't fit. Recent projects include a $50M+ factoring management system, a SaaS tax collection platform used by ~100 municipalities, and an emergency response system for FEMA/Travelers Insurance. I am also currently finishing up work on a software application that landscapers and other similar businesses can use to run their businesses. I like to use DevExpress DXperience controls extensively to create beautiful, feature-rich user interfaces and reports. I also migrate legacy Access/VB6 systems to modern .NET platforms. I excel at being able to come up with innovative, efficient, and user-friendly software solutions and at breaking down complex problems into smaller, more easily understood ones. I pride myself in writing well-organized and easily understandable code, emphasizing object-oriented principles, thereby creating code that is much easier to maintain, for myself and others. I am a clear communicator and a thorough analyst. MS Electrical Engineering | BS Industrial Engineering
