About Jake

Finding Solutions

Most consultants hand you recommendations. Most developers hand you a database. I do something different: I design complete operational platforms tailored to how your business actually runs.

Certified

I'm Airtable Builder certified, which means I know the platform inside and out. More importantly, I know how to design systems that solve real business problems—not just databases that look impressive in a demo.

10

Years

I'm an operations consultant who happens to be very good at building systems. Not the other way around.

For nearly a decade, I've worked with organizations solving the kinds of operational problems that don't have a product you can just buy. That work has taken me from change management consulting to defense contracting, and taught me that the best system is the one people actually use.

4+

Industries

Consulting, defense, construction, and investment—four industries that share operational complexity and demand flawless systems. This diverse experience allows me to distinguish between universal challenges and those unique to your business.

What I do

Implementation

Operations that run like you always said they should.

Full Platform Build

Full Platform Build

For businesses ready to replace the patchwork. Complete operational systems that connect your finances, projects, clients, and teams in one platform. I design and build the infrastructure your business runs on—not a database, not a tool, but the system that replaces the five you're currently fighting with.

Targeted Automation

Targeted Automation

For teams drowning in manual work. Specific workflows that eliminate the repetitive tasks eating your week. Data entry, reporting, approvals, handoffs—automated and connected to the systems you already use. Solve the problem without rebuilding everything.

Advisory & Strategy

Advisory & Strategy

For leaders who need clarity before application. Sometimes you need to understand what you actually need before anyone starts building. I help you map your operations, identify the real bottlenecks, and design a system strategy—whether I build it or someone else does.

Below are working examples of systems I've built.

Consulting Operations

A small consulting firm running on spreadsheets, email threads, and QuickBooks—with month-end close that meant days of reconciliation and a lot of crossed fingers. I built the system that replaced all of it.
Financial Operations
Resource Planning

Investment Management

A real estate investment business tracking bookings, revenue, and taxes across multiple rental properties—all in spreadsheets. I built a system that automated the booking process and turned scattered financial data into a single source of truth.

ERP Implementation Support

A large enterprise implementing a major ERP system—with a project tracking base that had grown to over 150 tables and become nearly unusable. I redesigned the entire structure to support the implementation the way it should have been built from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Airtable?

It's the most flexible platform for building exactly what a business needs without the cost and rigidity of enterprise software. I've tried the alternatives. Airtable lets me build systems that fit how you actually work, not how a software company thinks you should.

Do you work with businesses my size?

I've built systems for teams of 3 and organizations of nearly 4,000. Size matters less than complexity. If your operations have outgrown your tools, whether that's spreadsheets or enterprise software that doesn't fit, we should talk.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. Systems need maintenance, and businesses change. I offer retainer arrangements for clients who want ongoing optimization and support.

How much does this cost?

It varies by scope and complexity. I'm not the cheapest option, but I'm the one who builds systems that actually work and last. I'll give you a clear proposal after we talk through what you need.

What to expect: $150-$250/hour.

What's the process for getting started?

1. Initial call — We talk through what's broken and what you need
2. Proposal — I send scope, timeline, and pricing
3. Discovery — I map your operations and design the system
4. Build — I build it, you test it, we refine until it works
5. Handoff — Training, documentation, and support

Let's figure out what you actually need.

Not a sales call. A conversation about what's broken, what's working, and whether I'm the right person to help.
