Websites & web apps
Fast, accessible websites and practical web tools—from a first landing page to a custom internal system. Built properly, without an agency-sized process.
Independent technology partner
Small business tech.
Handled properly.
I’m an experienced independent developer helping small businesses with websites, infrastructure, IT support and the awkward technical jobs that never fit neatly in a box.
↓one person, broad capability
The useful middle ground
More experienced than hiring a generalist on a marketplace. More direct than working through an agency. You deal with the person doing the work.
Ways I can help
One reliable person
for the whole stack.
For small businesses that need sound technical judgement and someone who can actually follow the problem through—not another platform, hand-off, or mystery support queue.
Infrastructure & cloud
Hosting, domains, DNS, email setup, migrations, backups and the unglamorous technical foundations that keep a small business online.
Managed IT support
Straightforward ongoing help with devices, accounts, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, security basics, suppliers and everyday technology problems.
Automation & AI
Small, useful automations that remove repetitive work—plus honest guidance on where AI helps and where it will only create another problem.
Not sure what category your problem belongs to? That’s normal.

built & learned.
The side projects show how I think. The service work solves your problem.
2of8b
A human compatibility platform for finding the people you are most likely to genuinely connect with.
My current personal project, built around thoughtful questions, a growing Human Map, and creating better reasons for people to meet. It is live now and still evolving.
Write & Wait
A tiny writing concept built around putting distance between drafting and publishing.
Write & Wait is still live for now, but the current domain may not be renewed. The UI may later be kept under an IdeaGrains subdomain so the product case can still be inspected.
elo.ideagrain
A website where you enter a Chess.com username and get a profile-style read on that player.
It looks at public Chess.com games and tries to predict useful signals: likely strengths, weaknesses, habits, and player tendencies. It is both a tool and a product case for testing how well AI can turn messy chess data into practical insight.
Work together
Senior experience.
Small-business scale.
Bring me the website that needs rebuilding, the infrastructure nobody understands, the workflow wasting hours, or the ongoing IT headache. I’ll work out what is actually needed—and keep it proportionate.
