Independent HR Consulting · Systems & Compliance Architecture
HR Systems Architect & Senior Consultant
I'm an HR practitioner who builds the systems instead of buying them. For organizations that need more than advice, I bring a decade of HR leadership plus the technical ability to architect the compliance and automation infrastructure that makes the strategy actually run.
Bring me in to stabilize a crisis, close a compliance gap, or build the system your team would otherwise have to buy. You get a senior advisor and the working tool — not a slide deck and an invoice.
Career History
From stabilizing operations during leadership vacancies to building data-driven solutions inside large, complex manufacturing operations.
Engagements
Three kinds of work, each ending in something tangible — a stabilized operation, a defensible process, or a system your team owns and runs.
I step into organizational chaos—whether from unexpected executive departures or post-M&A friction—and stabilize operations. I provide immediate strategic direction to retain critical talent and keep the business moving.
I guide companies through the hardest parts of growth. I analyze multi-layered employee data to resolve duplicate roles, execute risk-proof Reduction in Force (RIF) programs, and construct comprehensive severance frameworks.
I build systematic, automated snapshots of multi-state and international compliance gaps. Rather than just identifying the legal risk, I architect the exact remediation plans required to neutralize it.
Case Study
A working example of the systems work: I found a gap in how a multi-location franchise ran its people operations and built the automated infrastructure to close it — from the ground up, on a near-zero budget, with no vendor lock-in.
System Architecture
From an unstructured email in a manager's inbox to a resolved, auto-filed compliance record—fully automated.
Business manager emails the weekly attendance Excel to the HR Gmail account. The Google Apps Script router polls the inbox every 10 minutes and detects new attachment emails by subject pattern.
The script reads the Excel, identifies absences (missed shifts or arrivals 4+ minutes late), and evaluates each employee's position on the 5-level progressive discipline ladder against a 45-day rolling window.
Attendance records are upserted into Supabase. Potential discipline records are staged with full context for manager review — not auto-applied. The informed-decision model keeps humans in control.
The relevant GM and district manager receive a formatted email with attendance details, current discipline standing, and a direct link to review and sign in the Hub. No action is taken without a manager decision.
A daily 9 AM CDT cron job checks all unsigned discipline records. Escalation emails fire at Day 3 (both DMs + HR copied) and Day 5. After Day 3, overdue records surface in the HR Morning Briefing and manager dashboards.
Once signed, the form triggers PDF generation, automatic email to HR and the submitting manager, and auto-filing via a Python script running as a Windows Task Scheduler job — creating the permanent record.
Technology
Every technology choice was driven by data security, zero vendor lock-in, and operational cost-efficiency.
