Founder, Clearline Technology Methods

Integrations.
LIMS. Cloud.
Built right.

I run Clearline Technology Methods — a technical consultancy specializing in laboratory information systems, enterprise integrations, and fractional technology leadership. Based in Southeast Georgia. Built for labs and growing organizations that need real solutions, not boilerplate.

Philosophy & Background

Technology leader and founder with 12+ years building enterprise integration platforms, production SaaS infrastructure, and high-performing engineering teams. I run a dual track: scaling integration programs as a VP at a Fortune 500 financial services firm, while building and operating Clearline Technology Methods — a profitable SaaS consultancy I founded from scratch. Deep hands-on expertise in cloud architecture, observability, identity platforms, and DevOps automation — not just strategy decks, but systems I built and operate in production.

Based in Southeast Georgia. Whether it's deploying a modern LIMS for an independent lab, leading enterprise observability strategy for a global trading platform, or serving as a fractional CTO — the goal is always the same: clarity through complexity.

Enterprise Integrations

iSIMS / ATS REST APIs Python Custom Middleware

Custom system integrations for HR tech, recruiting platforms, and enterprise tools. Built on real code — not middleware that locks you in. Deep expertise in iSIMS, Workday, ADP, and identity platforms (AD, Entra, Okta). Faster and more flexible than pre-built connectors.

🖥️

Self-Hosted Infrastructure Stack

Proxmox Docker Traefik Authentik SSO

Production-grade self-hosted infrastructure running 70+ containerized services across Proxmox homelab and AWS. Centralized SSO, reverse proxy with automatic TLS, Grafana/Prometheus observability stack, and multi-client LIMS instances. Built to the same standard as enterprise environments.

🎯

Fractional Technology Leadership

Architecture Vendor Selection Team Building Roadmapping

Part-time CTO/VP Engineering for growing companies that need senior technical decision-making without a full-time hire. Technology roadmaps, infrastructure strategy, hiring support, and hands-on implementation. The difference between advice and accountability.

🤖

AI Operations Agent

Python Claude API Multi-Agent Infrastructure Tools

An AI-powered operations agent with real infrastructure access — monitoring, deployments, client communication, and research. Runs against production systems with tool-use capabilities for executing shell commands, querying APIs, and managing services autonomously.

🏠

Smart Home Automation Stack

Home Assistant ESPHome Zigbee / MQTT Coral TPU

Fully self-hosted home automation built on Home Assistant with ESPHome firmware, Zigbee mesh, MQTT messaging, and edge ML inference via Coral TPU. The same infrastructure principles — reliability, observability, no vendor lock-in — applied to everyday life.
