Built in the field.
Written in code.

I’ve pulled wire, run crews, owned a business, estimated Data Centers, and led electrical engineering. Every tool I build starts with a problem I’ve already solved by hand, then turns it into software that’s faster, more accurate, and repeatable.

  • Built from the field up

    Designed by someone who has done the work as an electrician, foreman, estimator, and engineer, so the logic matches how the job actually runs.

  • Secured to enterprise standards

    Two-factor authentication and role-based access control from day one. Security is built in, not bolted on later.

  • Custom-fit modules

    Start with the modules you need and add more as you grow. Every piece is built to fit the way your team works, like a custom-fit glove.

// Utility to rack

A tool for every link in the power chain

From the medium-voltage service to the rack, and the cooling that keeps it running. Each stage has a purpose-built calculator behind it.

// The tool set

One system.
Many modules.

Each block on the cube is a module. Some are live in production today, and the rest are prototypes, proven in Excel and Sheets and coming soon to the platform. Snap in the ones you need: they share the same data, the same security, and the same design.

Electrical Tool Set

A modular suite of custom tools, including the Rapid Estimating Tool, spanning the full electrical project lifecycle: design, engineering, preconstruction, estimating, purchasing, labor, safety, training, and historical data, with third-party integrations connecting it all. Every module is built to fit the way a team actually works, like a custom-fit glove.

Commodity Price Tracker

This tool automatically pulls and logs daily pricing for key materials like copper, aluminum, steel, and PVC. It provides a reliable historical data source for material costs and feeds the latest daily pricing directly into the Rapid Estimating Tool.

Mechanical Equipment Load & Feeder Sizing Tool

Simplifies the complex process of calculating electrical loads for mechanical equipment. Users enter equipment parameters, and the tool automatically calculates the results, including feeder sizing, circuit breaker selection, voltage drop, and ambient temperature adjustments.

Conduit Fill & Sizing Tool

This tool simplifies the process of calculating conduit and raceway fill. It accounts for different wire types and insulation ratings across all raceway types, and automates calculations based on the NEC and other relevant standards.

Generator Sizing Calculator

This comprehensive tool automates the process of sizing a generator and planning its fuel logistics. It calculates the optimal generator size based on current and future demand while also determining fuel tank size and refueling schedules.

More Coming Soon!

New modules are always in development, bringing the same speed, accuracy, and security to every part of Data Center electrical work. Stay tuned for more announcements!

Live material pricing,
right in the estimate.

Copper moves. Your estimate should move with it. The Commodity Price Tracker logs daily pricing and feeds it straight into the Rapid Estimating Tool, so every number starts from today’s market.

  • Daily pricing for copper, aluminum, steel, and PVC
  • A reliable historical record of material costs
  • Latest pricing pushed into every estimate automatically

Enterprise Project Controls Platform

A full-stack, cloud-based platform I architected, built, and maintain end to end for mission-critical Data Center electrical construction. It brings projects and job parameters, office, field, and prefabrication staffing, the direct labor roster, timesheets with analysis, reporting, and exports, project controls, commodity pricing, and the pipe and wire hot sheet into one system, with third-party integrations and automations connecting it all. Multiple tenant-driven workspaces are secured with single sign-on, two-factor authentication, role-based access control, and row-level data security.

What I bring to your team

A rare mix: field-proven electrical judgment, Data Center preconstruction depth, and the software skills to turn both into systems that scale.

Design & engineering

The power chain, from medium voltage to the rack

  • Distribution, critical power, and backup power
  • Code-based calculations built on the NEC
  • Coordination with mechanical and controls
  • Electronic design roots: schematics, PCB layout, prototyping

Software & automation

Production systems, not just spreadsheets

  • Full-stack C# applications, architected end to end
  • Enterprise identity, two-factor authentication, and role-based access
  • Prototype in Excel and Sheets, then ship to the platform
  • Data-driven models and AI-assisted workflows
