Helping businesses stop doing things the hard way.

📍 Based in St. Johns, FL — Serving Jacksonville & Northeast Florida

I help small and mid-size businesses in Northeast Florida cut through the complexity of AI, automation, and agentic workflows — replacing scattered spreadsheets and broken handoffs with systems that actually work.

I help your business run smoother, faster, and with a lot less manual work.

I'm an technology consultant based in St. Johns, FL, with 25+ years building and shipping enterprise software. I've led engineering teams across healthcare, finance, insurance, and education - and I've seen the same structural problems show up everywhere.

Too many businesses, big and small, are held back by the same quiet trap: "This is how we've always done it."

What worked five years ago may be costing you time, money, and opportunities today. Processes built in silos. Tasks handed off with no visibility into what came before. Systems that don't talk to each other. Work that gets done, or doesn't, and nobody knows until something breaks.

The good news? There's never been a better time to rethink how your business operates. AI and automation have made it possible to replace outdated workflows with smarter, connected systems without rebuilding everything from scratch.

It's not about chasing the latest technology. It's about finding a better way to work so your team can focus on what actually grows the business.

This isn't a failure of your team. It's a structural problem — and one I've spent my career solving. As Director of Software Engineering, I defined and launched company-wide AI strategy, built agentic workflows, and delivered:

  • $2.2M+ in annual savings through AI automation and process modernization
  • Production uptime lifted from 95% to 99.99% via full Azure cloud migration
  • Delivery velocity improved 40%; release cycles cut from 8 weeks to 3
  • Built AI-driven transcription platform saving $1M+ annually
  • Recognized by the Governor of South Dakota for technology innovation

Now I bring that same thinking to small and mid-size businesses in Northeast Florida — without the enterprise price tag.

Andy's philosophy

The businesses that win with AI don't do it all at once — they do it systematically, starting with the one process that's costing them the most.
