Nine years at Google. Now in your corner.

My story

Most tech consultants have never run a business — or worked somewhere like Google. I've done both.

For nine years I was a Technical Solutions Engineer at Google, where I helped some of the company's biggest customers keep their technology running — leading the response when critical systems went down, building tools to catch problems before they spread, and training hundreds of new engineers. Before that I scaled systems at fast-growing tech companies around Boston and New Hampshire.

Then I did something a lot of engineers only talk about: I started my own company. I founded and built Photo Booth Picture Company — a busy photo-booth business serving New Hampshire and Greater Boston — and I didn't hire its technology out. I built it: the website that takes bookings, the system that tracks every customer and contract, the galleries where clients get their photos, and the behind-the-scenes automation that ties it together. The same booths have entertained guests at events for Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Bungie, and the Seattle Aquarium.

I've done the same for other businesses — automating an auto-detailing shop so the paperwork and warranties handle themselves, and reviewing the websites and ad accounts of dozens of small businesses across the country to find where they're losing customers or wasting money on Google and Facebook. Every one of those projects started with the same thing you're feeling: a job that took too long, cost too much, or kept slipping.

That's the difference. I've felt the cost of every technology decision I'd recommend to you. When I say "this is worth doing" or "don't waste your money on that," it's coming from someone who's been in your shoes.
