Your workflows shouldn't slow your team down. I can help fix that.

I spent 25 years working with complex processes, building and supporting the systems your teams rely on every day. Now I help technical manufacturers optimize the workflows that get in the way of efficient operations, service, support, and sales.

The short version
I spent 25 years watching talented teams lose hours to broken workflows. Now I fix them.

I spent my career inside technical manufacturing — first as a systems engineer building complex systems, then in product marketing supporting field teams, training sales organizations, and marketing $80 million product portfolios. I've lived the operational problems that slow companies down: disconnected tools, manual handoffs, information buried in spreadsheets and inboxes. I started Covalent Systems to bring modern automation and AI to the companies that need it most. The companies I work with aren't looking for flashy tech. They need things that work, integrate with what they already have, and make their people's lives easier.

What's slowing your team down?

No pitch. Let's have a conversation about where automation can save you time and money. If I can help, I'll tell you how. If I can't, I'll tell you that too.
