I help non-profits and community-focused startups work smarter with the tools, systems, and strategies that actually fit: whether that's AI, automation, or just better infrastructure.
Now accepting pro-bono clients. I'm currently offering pro-bono engagements to one or two non-profit organizations. I believe mission-driven teams deserve access to the same caliber of technology strategy that well-funded companies take for granted. If that sounds like your org, let's talk.
Mission-driven organizations are under constant pressure to do more with less. But most aren't starting with clean systems or extra capacity. You're working with what you have while still trying to move your mission forward.
Meanwhile, the tech world keeps telling you to adopt AI, modernize your processes, automate everything. Some of that advice is good. A lot of it doesn't account for the reality of your budget, your team, or the people you serve.
You don't need someone who sells you on the latest thing. You need someone who can look at how your organization actually works and help you figure out what would make the biggest difference.
I work with your team to understand where things are breaking down, where time is being lost, and where the right solution might be simpler than you think. Sometimes that's AI. Sometimes it's a better-organized shared drive.
When AI does make sense, it raises real questions about ethics, data, and trust. I help you develop clear, org-wide policies so your team can move forward with confidence and your stakeholders know you're being thoughtful.
Not every automation requires AI, and not every AI tool is worth the cost. I build solutions that free your staff from repetitive tasks and busywork, using the right tool for the job, so your budget goes to your mission.
Purpose-built tools your team can use tomorrow, not next quarter. Fast development, tailored to your workflows, without the overhead of a full development cycle.
Your org's institutional knowledge shouldn't live in one person's head or buried in a folder no one can find. I help you build systems that make onboarding smoother, preserve expertise when staff transition, and keep quality consistent as your team grows.
A new system only works if your team knows how to use it. I draw on years of mentoring and training experience to make sure your staff can confidently operate what I build, and grow with it. That means hands-on training, clear documentation, and the knowledge to extend and adapt tools on their own. The goal is independence, not a permanent consulting contract.
A social services org automates case note summaries, giving staff hours back each week to spend with clients.
A community health nonprofit builds a searchable internal knowledge base so staff stop digging through shared drives for policies and procedures.
A startup creates an internal tool that auto-generates grant report drafts from program data they're already collecting.
An advocacy organization develops clear technology guidelines so every team member knows what tools are approved, how to use them responsibly, and where the boundaries are.
I've spent over ten years working inside mission-driven and non-profit organizations: in social services in New York City, in healthcare, and at a community organizing and social mobilization startup. I know what it feels like to stretch a budget, report to a board, and do more with less because the work is too important to stop.
I also bring over ten years of technology experience, including integrating AI and machine learning into existing systems, setting org-wide technology policy, and building tools that teams actually use. I currently serve on an advisory board shaping AI policy for K-12 education.
That combination is what I bring to every engagement. I'm not here to sell you on technology for its own sake. I'm here to help your team's time and resources go further.
Every org is different, and not every solution looks the same. The best way to start is a 30-minute conversation where we look at what you're working with, what's taking up too much time, and where the right investment of effort would be.
