Still running your business on spreadsheets, sticky notes, and outdated software?

Quoting happens in one app, scheduling in another, and invoicing is a mess of spreadsheets and manual steps.

I help business owners fix that.

I build custom software that pulls everything into one clean, modern system—designed around how you actually work. No bloated platforms, no subscriptions, no surprise costs. Just a fixed-price project that saves you time and makes you money.

If your tech stack feels like a daily chore, let’s change that.

If you run a small business and you're frustrated with clunky processes, outdated tools, or time-wasting workarounds, I can help.

I specialize in extending and modernizing existing software systems for small businesses. Whether you need a fix, an upgrade, or something custom built to match how your team actually works, I’ve got availability for a few new clients this summer.

Here are some of the most common projects I help with:
✅ Custom CRM tools to manage leads, sales, and follow-ups
✅ Internal dashboards to track jobs, revenue, or inventory
✅ Process automation (invoicing, scheduling, reporting)
✅ Website rebuilds that actually work on mobile and boost visibility
✅ Connecting tools like QuickBooks, Stripe, Shopify, or Google Sheets so they talk to each other

If you've been thinking “we should really fix this” for months then this is your sign.

📬 Message me directly or tag someone who might need help modernizing their business tech.

🔥 Hot Take: Some companies put candidates through 5+ rounds of interviews and STILL struggle to make a decision. If you can’t assess a candidate in 3 interviews or less, your process might be broken.

𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀: How many interviews does it take your company to make a hiring decision? Are you running an efficient process, or just wasting time? What is the minimum number of interviews needed to make an informed hiring decision?

𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: How many interviews is "𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲"? Have you ever turned down an offer to interview because of the process? If so, 𝐰𝐡𝐲??

As the year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on what has been a truly transformative journey. 2024 marked my first full year as a software consultant and entrepreneur, launching and building CloudScion Consulting from the ground up.

𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀
This year has been filled with challenges, growth, and milestones that I’m incredibly proud of:

• Partnering with five (5) innovative clients to deliver their startup companies the first iteration of their product ready for market and their investors.
• Expanding my expertise in custom fragrance technology, enabling small aromatics businesses to transform their workflows and achieve greater efficiency, simplify compliance, and unlock new opportunities for growth.
• Building a foundation for sustainable growth, while staying true to my vision of delivering innovative solutions and unmatched client support.

𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁
None of this would have been possible without the trust of my clients, the collaboration of my partners, and the encouragement of my network here on Facebook. Thank you for your continued belief in my mission and work—it means more than words can express.

𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱
As I look toward the new year, I am filled with excitement for what’s ahead. Some upcoming ventures include:

• Launching a YouTube series that includes discussions and tips for engineering organizations who want to improve their technical hiring practices
• Collaborating with engineering organizations to learn more about their problems and gaps when it comes to ensuring their new engineering hires are the right quality and have the right skills for the organization to be successful
• Enabling new startup clients to bring their visions to life

𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁!
To all my connections: if you and your partners are looking to build your first product or prototype to get in front of investors, or your organization is looking to improve the quality and tenure of your technical engineering staff, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s make 2025 a year of impactful partnerships and meaningful growth!

Here’s to the journey ahead—thank you for being a part of it. Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous new year!
