R2 Engineering

I help clients solve their most complex IT challenges—the kind that require both strategic thinking and hands-on technical execution. What I Do: MSP Audits & Optimization — Comprehensive reviews of your security posture, compliance gaps, and operational efficiency. I've been on both sides: I built and scaled an MSP from 2 employees to 20 over 15 years, so I know how MSPs operate and the common gaps that can occur without proper oversight. Fractional CTO Services — Strategic technology leadership without the full-time hire. Cloud architecture, vendor evaluation, security roadmaps, and translating technical decisions into business outcomes. Technical Implementations — Complex projects that require both technical depth and business thinking: custom integrations, M365/Google Workspace automation, PowerShell/Python solutions that eliminate manual work. My Background: I've spent 20+ years moving between electrical engineering, industrial automation, IT infrastructure, and business operations. That breadth gives me an unusual ability to see patterns and design solutions that actually work in the real world—not just on whiteboards. Recently, I led a government contractor through an 18-month CMMC Level 2 implementation, achieving a perfect third-party audit with zero remediation items. I've also guided organizations through cybersecurity audits in regulated industries including banking and pharmaceuticals—managing auditor relationships, documentation, policy development, and technical remediation. That experience taught me how to translate enterprise-grade security and compliance into practical solutions for SMBs that don't have Fortune 500 budgets or complexity.
