Professional

Business / Operations Systems Specialist

I help small businesses and independent operators design simple, repeatable systems for tasks, workflows, and process documentation — so work doesn't depend on anyone's memory. Early in this practice, focused on doing a small number of engagements well rather than scaling fast.
