I design and deliver implementation systems that reduce risk and accelerate outcomes.
I partner with presales and customer teams to transform complex requirements into governed, scalable solutions—bridging the gap between what's sold and what ships.
What I Do Best
Full-stack implementation capability—from discovery through launch and beyond.
Viewing as: 💼 Consultant
Discovery & Solution Design
Transform ambiguous requirements into clear architectures. I run workshops, map processes, and build solution blueprints that derisk delivery before code is written.
Implementation Delivery Leadership
Lead cross-functional teams from kickoff to launch. I keep projects on track with clear milestones, proactive risk management, and stakeholder alignment.
Integrations & Automations
Connect systems that don't naturally talk. Pipelines, webhooks, APIs, and middleware that make data flow without manual intervention.
Data Modeling & Governance
Replace spreadsheet chaos with structured systems of record. Clean schemas, validation rules, and reporting that leadership actually trusts.
Executive Storytelling & Enablement
Translate technical wins into business language. I build decks, demos, and documentation that get buy-in and drive adoption.
AI-Accelerated Delivery
Use AI practically—not as a buzzword. I leverage LLMs for analysis, documentation, and automation to ship faster without sacrificing quality.

What People Say
Feedback from clients and colleagues who've seen the work firsthand.
“Stephen is one of the most selfless, self-motivated, and customer focused people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He made every person he supported feel as if their incident was the only one he was focused on, without ever letting other items slip. His intangibles set him apart from any other candidate you may be considering.”
“He never watched the clock, and stayed until the work was done. He recognizes the larger picture of how IT impacts his customers, and uses that as fuel to drive even harder. If I find an opportunity to bring Stephen into any company I am with, I would do so with great confidence.”
“Stephen is a self-directed individual with outstanding customer service skills. Stephen always had a can-do attitude and never left a problem unresolved. He was well liked by all of our physicians and staff.”
About Me
I build systems that move faster than the problems they solve.
I'm a full-stack technologist and implementation leader who works across presales, customer partnership, and delivery. For over 15 years, I've been the person organizations call when a project needs to move from 'sold' to 'shipped.'
I work directly with customers to understand what they're trying to achieve, help shape requirements, and design solutions that are practical, scalable, and aligned to real business needs. In presales, I partner closely with sales teams to scope intelligently, reduce risk, and clearly communicate technical value so customers can make confident decisions.
My background spans full-stack development, low-code platforms, integrations, automation, and data-driven systems. I've led implementations across healthcare, energy services, and enterprise software. I use AI daily to accelerate design, validate ideas, and improve quality—without losing sight of good engineering judgment or customer trust.
I care about building things that work, make sense, and actually get used.
Principles I Work By
Clarity beats complexity
If users need a manual, the design failed.
Ship value fast
Perfect is the enemy of useful.
Governance without friction
Rules that help, not hinder.
Build for the next team
Documentation and maintainability matter.
