IT Consulting, Automation & Technical Services
Practical support for businesses that need their infrastructure, software and everyday workflows to work together. Based in the Staten Island, NY area, I bring more than 20 years of IT experience to each discussion.
IT consulting and planning
Technology decisions work best when they start with a clear view of the business. I help service companies and trade businesses assess existing systems, identify operational friction and plan improvements in manageable stages. A consulting engagement can focus on a specific recurring problem or the relationship between infrastructure, business software and the people who support it.
The starting point is a discussion of your current process, the systems involved and the cost of leaving the problem unresolved. From there, we can define scope, dependencies and a practical sequence of work before committing to implementation.
Workflow automation and ERP development
Repeated data entry, disconnected spreadsheets and manual follow-ups create delays that are easy to overlook. I build automation with Python, Bash and PowerShell, and develop web applications with PHP, React and database-backed services. The objective is to make routine work easier to track while keeping exceptions visible to the people responsible for them.
For ERP work, we map how information moves between scheduling, inspections, service calls, maintenance and accounting. Through Aileron Systems, that understanding can become a configurable operating platform. We establish a useful first workflow, test it with the team and expand based on real feedback.
System administration and network support
Reliable systems need clear ownership, consistent access management and a recovery plan. My system administration work covers Windows and Linux environments, Active Directory, server operations and network troubleshooting. SonicWall firewall and VPN configuration can support secure access between offices, remote staff and the systems they use.
A typical assessment looks at account management, system health, documentation, backups and the path for handling changes. Recommendations reflect the existing environment and support capacity. Any implementation scope, maintenance responsibility and response expectations are agreed before work begins.
Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365
Cloud services should fit how your team works. I help plan Microsoft 365 and Azure projects with attention to identity, permissions, device access and continuity. This includes reviewing the relationship between on-premises systems and cloud accounts so that a migration does not leave users or administrators with confusing responsibilities.
We can discuss your current email and collaboration environment, licensing needs and migration constraints. A practical plan includes preparation, testing, communication with users and a handoff for ongoing administration. Backup and recovery requirements should be considered separately from simply enabling a cloud service.
AutoCAD drafting for fire alarm drawings
Clear drawings help project teams coordinate installation, review changes and keep records consistent. I provide AutoCAD drafting support for fire alarm documentation, including drawing updates, organization and revision coordination based on the information and requirements supplied by the project team.
Drafting scope, source files, review milestones and deliverables are established for each engagement. Professional engineering approval, code review and authority submissions remain with the appropriately qualified parties for the project. This service supports those responsibilities with organized technical documentation.
