I didn't start a consulting company because I wanted to be a consultant.
I started because I spent seven years watching the same manual processes eat the same teams alive, semester after semester.
Founder, The Admin Ops Accelerator
7+ years in higher education IT
I started because I spent seven years watching the same manual processes eat the same teams alive, semester after semester. Banner to AD to Canvas to email — every IT team I know does this by hand. And every semester start, they work overtime for three weeks to keep it running.
I built automations for my own institution. Then I realized the problem was universal — every mid-sized university is managing 8–15 disconnected systems with a team of 3–8 people and a collection of PowerShell scripts that one person wrote four years ago.
The Admin Ops Accelerator exists to connect the systems you already have. No platform replacement. No multi-year implementations. Just the plumbing that should have been built years ago.
I work exclusively with mid-sized institutions — 5,000 to 20,000 students — because that's where the problem is most acute and the solutions are most achievable. Large research universities have dedicated IAM teams. Small colleges don't have the complexity. Mid-sized institutions have all the complexity and none of the resources.

Specificity over generality
I name the exact systems, the exact processes, the exact numbers. If I can't be specific, I don't say it.
You own everything
No vendor lock-in. No proprietary platforms. Every automation I build is documented, transferable, and owned by your institution.
Results in weeks
I've never missed a semester deadline. Every engagement is scoped to deliver measurable results before your next semester start.
Honest about fit
If you're not the right fit for what I do, I'll tell you — and point you toward who is. I'd rather lose a deal than overpromise.
