Independent software engineering

Less manual admin
for service & production teams.

I build forms, workflows, and connected tools that reduce repeat data entry, organize client follow-ups, and make equipment issues easier to track.

A few ways custom software can support everyday operations.

01 / Operations

Forms & internal tools

Capture information once. Use it to create jobs, route approvals, and track ownership without repeated data entry.

Telemetry & monitoring

Collect readings from equipment or software, track changes, and connect alerts to a maintenance or support workflow.

02 / How it works

Start with one workflow.

A small, paid pilot gives your team something practical to evaluate before deciding what comes next.

  1. 01

    Discuss one workflow

    Walk through your current tools, the repeated work, and where time gets lost. Choose one useful result to focus on.

  2. 02

    Agree on a paid pilot

    Review a written scope, price, timeline, and success criteria. You approve these before any paid work begins.

  3. 03

    Test it with your team

    Try the pilot on real work and review the result together. Then decide on rollout, handoff, or further support.

Example pilot

A service request form that creates a job record and notifies the right person.

Review the time spent re-entering requests and whether handoffs are being missed.

Applications

Python, TypeScript, React, FastAPI, and ASP.NET Core for useful interfaces and service APIs.

Cloud & integration

AWS Lambda, SQS, DynamoDB, API Gateway, AWS IoT, Azure services, webhooks, and event-driven workflows.

Automation & AI

Document extraction, structured validation, assisted diagnostics, and tool-driven workflows with human review where it matters.

Field engineering

MQTT, Raspberry Pi, Linux, telemetry, remote configuration, networking, and connected equipment workflows.

Visual computing

OpenCV, camera calibration, coordinate transforms, Three.js, terrain data, and interactive 3D visualization.

Reliability

Observability, actionable alerts, deduplication, retries, integration tests, and clear operational handoffs.

Implementation depends on the existing systems, access requirements, and operational constraints.

Manual data entry

Structured request intake

When an emailed request becomes a spreadsheet row, then a job record, the same information gets handled repeatedly. A connected intake workflow can do the copying and leave the decisions with your team.

  1. 01Request arrives
  2. 02Extract key details
  3. 03Review exceptions
  4. 04Create job record

A representative solution

A shared intake queue that reads structured forms or documents, flags missing information, and prepares a job for a person to approve. AI can help with messy documents; rules handle predictable fields.

People approve uncertain details before anything is committed to your business systems.

Disconnected systems

Record synchronization

Your quoting tool, inventory system, and accounting software may each work well on their own. The friction appears between them, when someone has to carry information from one to the next.

  1. 01Estimate accepted
  2. 02Validate record
  3. 03Sync job & inventory
  4. 04Confirm or retry

A representative solution

An integration that passes approved records between the tools you already use, tracks each handoff, and makes failed updates visible instead of silently losing them.

Duplicate checks, retries, and a clear exception queue keep a small error from becoming a larger one.

Equipment visibility

Equipment monitoring

A disconnected device or an unexpected reading should lead to a useful next step. Put equipment health, recent activity, and service history together so the person responding has context.

  1. 01Equipment reports
  2. 02Check health rules
  3. 03Add service context
  4. 04Notify the operator

A representative solution

An equipment dashboard with fresh-versus-stale readings, meaningful alerts, and maintenance context. Remote actions can be added where the equipment and operating procedures support them.

Telemetry age stays visible. Remote controls require explicit permissions and safety checks.

Scheduling & updates

Scheduling & customer updates

When work moves between the office, a technician, and a customer, updates can end up scattered across messages. A shared job record helps everyone work from the same information.

  1. 01Request a service
  2. 02Review estimate
  3. 03Schedule the work
  4. 04Send approved updates

A representative solution

A lightweight job board that connects requests, estimates, availability, and customer updates. Start with one workflow, then expand around the way your business actually schedules work.

A person approves estimates and schedule changes. Customer messages follow agreed rules.
