Paid or in partnership, I have years of experience developing early-state products. I am particularly adept at finding a low-cost development route in order to get off the ground.

Technical team building and operations is the single most important thing I do for QBench. A particular focus of mine is fully-remote, async management. I am very passionate about working with a global team with flexible schedules as the default option.

I have had a very successful career in both the corporate world and entrepreneurship. Especially for software developers like myself, I can discuss how to make a pivot to a new role. For those interested in M&A, I have a lot to offer there as well.

Operations is in my title. Building and delivering on improvements to our operations is my number one focus. I rely on an approach of managing through measurement. If you'd like to do a session, we will always start with your metrics and what you have in place.

QBench delivers a large number of standard integrations and services for our customers in implementation. We are proud of our standard operating procedures and the ways we've managed to produce repeatable income given the strength of existing customer relationships.

QBench as well as Southport Technology Group and Southport Ventures are remote-native firms. We have a consistent management style that has allowed us to drive results despite our distance and flexible schedule policies.

I am a software engineer with over 14 years of experience in a number of diverse industry verticals. I architect software and I manage offshore developers, many in different working configurations depending on preference.

G2 is a key marketing platform for QBench. I do a fair amount of work with the API in order to create advanced reporting and analysis for distribution to the Sales team.

Zendesk is the support platform we use within QBench. I do a fair amount of work with the API in order to create advanced reporting and analysis for distribution to the Support team.

Southport Ventures has used the Bing API (via Azure) for business sourcing since we developed the V1 process of sourcing in 2019. The service is particularly useful for business queries, since LinkedIn is favored as a search result via the Microsoft connection.

Southport Technology Group has done a decent amount of work in Dropbox integrations. In particular, our work in legal has been really instructive in this domain: https://southporttechnologygroup.com/law

JavaScript is Southport Technology Group's primary language choice (along with TypeScript). We have deep experience in the community and across frameworks. This is incredibly core to our company and my own experience as an engineer.

NodeJS is Southport Technology Group's primary back-end runtime. We have deep experience in JavaScript and Node API and service development. This is incredibly core to our company and my own experience as an engineer.

I have been a Python developer since my undergraduate years. Because of the simplicity, multi-platform support, and strength of the community, it is still my goto option for business intelligence development. I have worked extensively with Django and Flask, in addition to hand-rolled frameworks.

I have been a Ruby on Rails developer since 2012 when my career made massive changes from the enterprise Java world and moved to Ruby on Rails. I am still enamored by the quality of the framework and the community at that time. While it's lost steam, I still believe it to be an excellent toolset.

Southport Technology Group has done a decent amount of work in Salesforce integrations. In particular, our work in legal has been really instructive in this domain: https://southporttechnologygroup.com/law

I first integrated with Stripe in 2015. Since then, we have used it for a number of platform releases and payment solutions. It is our #1 choice for nearly all forms of payment integration.

Southport Technology Group uses Trello to manage project planning with customers as well as all internal initiatives. Additionally, we have integrated with the API, as you can see in this article: https://medium.com/neosavvy-labs/i-love-trello-and-to-express-my-feelings-i-wrote-a-command-line-utility-ec15b8d1665b

Southport Technology Group has done some work with Zapier in the education space. Because the platform is fairly easy to use, our focus on JavaScript has put us in a good position to utilize the full breadth of options.

Zoho is the CRM platform we use within QBench. I do a fair amount of work with the API in order to create advanced reporting and analysis for distribution to the Sales & Customer Success teams.
