Semi-Retired Tech Generalist Available for Interesting Projects
I design curriculum and teach technology in VET, and take on select consulting work through referrals. If you have an interesting challenge involving AI, blockchain, databases, or process automation - let's talk.
What I Do
Teaching & Instructional Design
VET curriculum development and technology education
Business Process Automation
Streamlining workflows using both more traditional automation tools and AI-integrated solutions
AI & Blockchain Integration
Technical implementation and integration consulting
Crypto & DeFi Education
Education (not financial advice) and technical guidance for secure crypto management (e.g. self custody &/ institutional grade custody options)
Database Design & Development
Database architecture and programming, backed by broad general software development and networking experience
How I Work
I take on projects through referrals and word-of-mouth. If you've been referred to me, or we know each other, that's a good start.
I'm selective about projects - not because I'm difficult to work with, but because I enjoy what I do and want to keep it that way. I prefer working on challenges that are genuinely interesting or solving real problems.
What makes a good fit
Clear problem definition
Realistic timelines
You value expertise over just getting it done cheap
The project teaches me something or lets me apply skills in new ways
Getting started
Give me a call or send an email. Describe the challenge, timeline, and budget range. If it sounds like a mutual fit, we'll have a proper conversation.
