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

I founded Clearline Technology Methods to bring enterprise-grade technical capability to organizations that can't afford enterprise price tags. Whether that's deploying a modern LIMS for an environmental testing lab, building a custom integration between two enterprise systems, or serving as a fractional CTO for a growing company — the goal is always the same: clarity through complexity.

Based in Southeast Georgia. I blend deep infrastructure experience with the flexibility of a boutique consultancy. Open systems, transparent pricing, and solutions that actually stick.

🧪

Clearline LIMS

SENAITE Python Docker AWS Lightsail

Affordable, modern Laboratory Information Management System for independent labs. Tracks every sample from intake to final report with full chain of custody, automated compliance reporting (NELAP/ISO), and a client-facing portal. $500–$1,500/month. Live in 4–6 weeks. No enterprise contract required.

🔗

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.
