Hi, I´m Sam. I design and operationalize scalable people infrastructure for regulated, multi-state, and global organizations. Very strong compliance background. 10 years+ experience. Bring me in when you need systems to be built correctly (or rebuilt). I can then maintain that system for you as needed. I am an extremely meticulous and high-ownership person. My focus is: 1. Workforce infrastructure & onboarding architecture 2. Compliance & governance systems implementation 3. HR generalist/ management operations I can design custom HR ecosystems aligned to your industry, regulatory exposure, workforce size, growth stage, budget, and operational complexity. Then I implement and maintain them. I build clean, modern (thoughtful, simple!) systems that survive audits, scale effortlessly, and function without chaos. I believe healthy culture grows out of systems that your people and you can use intuitively and thrive in. Industries served: government contracting, manufacturing, energy, engineering, SaaS, media/tech, international professional services, and federal-adjacent environments. Workforce Systems Architecture I design structured employment ecosystems, including: —End-to-end onboarding architecture (offer → verification → payroll/benefits → systems → policy controls → manager integration) —Multi-state workforce frameworks (W2/1099 classification strategy) —Distributed and bilingual workforce alignment —Organizational reporting and accountability design —Performance documentation systems —Offboarding and termination governance workflows —OSHA-aligned operational safety structures for field and manufacturing environments Systems Implementation & Platform Integration I do not depend on a single toolset. I curate the stack that fits your organization. Platforms implemented and configured include: —Payroll & HRIS (e.g., Gusto, Rippling, and similar systems) —Timekeeping systems (e.g., Lathem PayClock) —Microsoft 365 ecosystems, (Teams, SharePoint documentation governance, structured personnel record systems), Google Workspace —Slack-based communication architecture and leadership visibility design —Various benefits, broker, and vendor integrations (PrimePay, Paychex, DEEL, etc) My role is to: —Evaluate tools —Configure them properly —Align them with regulatory compliance and your policy requirements —Integrate workflows across people and systems —Stabilize and maintain operations post-implementation Compliance & Workforce Governance —I-9 verification audits, systems, and remediation controls —Wage & hour alignment —W2/1099 classification governance —Audit-ready documentation control —Employee handbook design and version governance, including bilingual versions —Policy localization for global teams —Cross-border contractor lifecycle coordination (U.S., EU, LATAM, India, CIS) Recent projects: — Built and operationalized the complete HR and workforce governance infrastructure for a regulated food & beverage manufacturer, implementing multi-state payroll, timekeeping integration, OSHA systems/facility safety design + audit readiness, training and certification tracking, I-9 controls, and bilingual workforce systems in under 90 days. — Architected workforce structure and operational systems for a live-streaming marketplace and media/tech startup, formalizing governance, documentation standards, onboarding process, and distributed team environments/alignments to support sustainable scale. — Scaled a federal IT/DoD contractor from 30 to 85+ employees and contractors, enabling $30M in contract expansion within six months. Designed and implemented entire HR infrastructure and systems A-Z. — Designed and implemented a group-wide L&D and operational documentation framework for an international IP law firm (130+ professionals across 30+ offices), reducing errors by 70% and supporting merger expansion into MENA. — Built full HR and operational infrastructure for a global media company, enabling $800K in contract growth and expansion across five continents. What You Hire Me To Do —Build HR functions from zero —Re-engineer fragmented workforce systems —Implement onboarding architecture correctly —Stabilize compliance exposure —Integrate payroll, timekeeping, and documentation systems —Design scalable workforce governance structures —Prepare organizations for growth, acquisition, or regulatory scrutiny —Improve employee relations and retention through stronger, more effective engagement and management If you need structure, call me.
