How I can help you
Technology risks cross every discipline. They intersect people, systems, data, and processes. They shift with time. What remains unknown can be highly material to your business.
I founded op1digital in 2016 because leaders deserve high-quality, direct support to uncover blind spots, calibrate their responses, and make confident decisions.
- Engagement structure: I offer clear, time-boxed consulting sprints (of 4, 8, or 12 weeks), as well as flexible, open-ended advisory support depending on your needs.
- Deliverables: Every engagement is personalized and specific to your need, whether in the form of structured analysis, actionable recommendations, or hands-on implementation support.
- Who I serve: I partner with US-based medium businesses, open source projects, and small businesses in my home state of Maine.

Engage with op1digital
If you need my services, send a few sentences to let me know what you need. I'm currently accepting work from new and returning clients as of July 2026. Every engagement begins with a client reaching out — I never make cold calls or send cold emails.
About me
My experience spans board-level projects to fine-grained technical work.
I am certified in structured analysis, user experience, risk management, and C programming.

Technology risks don't care which vendor you use, so I remain technology agnostic. I routinely work with hardware (servers, network infrastructure, desktops and laptops, phones), OSes (Linux, OpenBSD, macOS), databases (PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, SQLite), programming languages (C, Python, PHP), version control (git, cvs), LLM/AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini), development methods (waterfall, Lean, Scrum), cloud providers (Cloudflare, VULTR, Amazon AWS), servers and services (Apache, nginx, domain registration, DNS, DHCP, SSH, rsync, backups, Protonmail, Google Workspaces), and open source and custom in-house software solutions.
