Dev Ops Consulting

I help organizations run their software, making it smaller, simpler, and more reliable. You can call this DevOps consulting if you want to, or maybe Systems Engineering . I help with cloud repatriation (moving from the cloud back to hardware you own) or with simplifying — and reducing the costs of — cloud deployments. I also write high-performance components to help with that, and can help you improve your code base. I make deployments and management of your stack easier.

Uplift: Information Management System

Uplift is both like, and very unlike, several categories of software. It is a platform for rapidly building information management systems, similar to tools like Retool, it is also an extensible CRM like Salesforce and a code first (but less code / low code) framework like Frappe.

SqrlStash: Personal Budgeting & Accounting

I built SqrlStash as a personal budgeting tool. I built it because while I enjoy plain text accounting and especially Ledger my wife was disinclined to use this program without a GUI. Also good luck entering transactions on mobile and multiple users & syncing was a problem. So we tried You Need a Budget but its lack of double entry accounting was driving me nuts.

There are many other options. But not much (open source or proprietary) where you can keep a budget and use double entry accounting.
