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

I spent 25 years at Spectra-Physics Lasers building and supporting the systems your teams rely on every day. Now I help scientific instrument companies automate the workflows that get in the way of service, support, and sales.

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

After a career at Spectra-Physics Lasers — supporting field engineers, training sales teams, and managing product lines — I started Covalent Systems to bring modern automation and AI tools to the scientific instrument industry. 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.
