Selected work

Projects I've finished.

A short, honest index of engagements, one business, one residential, spanning the price spectrum. Red Cypress Pro is a new business, so this page will grow slowly. Each entry is a real project, written up in full detail so you can judge the work for yourself.

01 · Case study · Small-business IT

TCP: consolidating HR from two systems into one, without losing a record.

A fixed-scope, fixed-fee migration from WorkBright into Zoho People for a roughly fifty-person organization: onboarding workflows, employee and document records, clearance tracking, and PTO policies. Migrated in a pilot-first, validated pattern with clear boundaries around financial and compliance data.

02 · Case study · Residential

A retired officer's good used computer, set up properly at home.

Lee, a retired law enforcement officer, didn't need a new machine, he needed the right one. I sourced a clean used Lenovo ThinkPad for $250, then came to his house to set it up: bloatware removed, password manager seeded with his logins, personal photos migrated off his old device intact. One visit, done.

How I work

A few habits I keep on every project.

These are the rules behind the case study above, and every engagement I'll add to this page. Boring when written down, useful when applied.

  1. Fixed scope, written down.

    Every engagement starts with a signed SOW naming what's in, what's out, how we'll handle change, and how we'll know when it's done. No one pays for work they didn't ask for.

  2. Pilot before full migration.

    On data and platform work, we migrate a small slice first, validate it together, and then do the rest. It adds a few days and prevents the class of problems that turn a clean migration into a bad one.

  3. One point of contact, each way.

    Your team designates one approver. On my side, you get me, from the first call to the last handoff. Decisions stay crisp and response times stay short.

  4. Candor about what's out of scope.

    I name my limits in writing. Payroll, benefits administration, legal compliance certification, high-voltage electrical, if it's not my lane, I say so and point you to someone whose lane it is.

Have a project in mind?

Let's talk about the shape of it.

Whether it's a migration, a new-office setup, a whole-house WiFi rebuild, or something I haven't listed yet, the first conversation is free. If it's not a fit, I'll tell you so and recommend someone whose lane it is.
