Enterprise-wide sales tax, integrated across every system
International nonprofitChallenge

Outcome
One authoritative tax process across the enterprise; sales tax compliance successfully managed.
We needed sales tax automation handled enterprise-wide, across several systems — CRM Dynamics, POS, inventory management, and several custom sub-ledger systems. Our data systems presented challenges of siloed and often non-standardized data. Alan designed a data-centered solution integrating Avalara as our sales tax automation solution. It's been running without issues for years. Sales tax automation, handled.

Alan also assisted with our NetSuite implementation, working with our third-party specialists on integrating data from several custom sub-ledger systems. Some of the work involved standardizing data into usable and reliable sources of truth. He spent the time to understand the requirements, data structure, and challenges in the technical landscape of our systems before building any solutions.
Alan was a patient partner, listening to our needs and requirements, and coming up with creative solutions that addressed those needs. The work he did to bring together our enterprise-wide data systems created a platform upon which we continue to build and move forward.
Procurement, inventory and workflow systems for large beverage company
Enterprise organizationChallenge
Procurement, inventory, and order management spread across disconnected systems, with no reliable link back to accounting.
Solution
Built a purpose-made procurement and inventory system — order entry, team access controls, and a direct feed into accounting — fitted to how the business actually worked.
Outcome
Still in daily use years later. What started as one project became a decades-long relationship — architecture, development, and ongoing support.
I had the pleasure of working with Alan for several years and consistently appreciated his expertise, professionalism, and thoughtful approach to problem-solving.
As the lead architect and developer of our procurement sourcing/management system, Alan was instrumental in every stage of its lifecycle. From gathering requirements and designing the initial solution to development, ongoing enhancements, support, and maintenance, he was a trusted partner throughout. He took the time to fully understand our business needs before recommending solutions, ensuring that what was built not only met current requirements but could also adapt as those needs evolved.

Highly customized Dynamics CRM system with many years of data, effectively silo-ed away and unavailable for reporting and analysis.

Founder Institute — Fractional CTO support for early-stage startups & founders
Startup IncubatorChallenge
A semester-long startup accelerator with weekly deliverables. Several fellow founders in the cohort had strong business ideas but no in-house technical capability to build or validate them.
Solution
Provided fractional CTO support to several peer teams alongside my own venture — defining technical requirements, building investor-facing prototypes and websites, and mapping out technology roadmaps they could actually execute against, within the program's compressed weekly cadence.
Outcome
Working prototypes, clear technical direction, and lasting professional relationships — the same kind of fractional, high-pressure technical partnership I offer businesses today.
I worked alongside Alan as a fellow founder at Founder Institute Denver, and he is hands-down one of the sharpest, most honest technologists I've ever collaborated with. His deep expertise in software engineering, paired with his direct, ethical approach to leadership, made him someone founders could trust with the technical side of their business. Alan brings grit, clarity, and unshakeable standards to everything he touches.
