I replace your
expensive SaaS stack
with tools you own.
20+ years engineering at Salesforce & CVS Health. USPTO patent holder. Now I help companies cut SaaS spend 60–90% with open-source tools, automation, and fractional CTO guidance.
The Open Source Advantage
Stop renting software.
Own your stack.
I replace expensive SaaS subscriptions with open source alternatives — customized, integrated, and deployed on infrastructure you control. Same capabilities, fraction of the cost, zero vendor lock-in.
Cut SaaS Spend 60–90%
Stop paying per-seat fees that scale against you. Open source tools cost pennies to host and have no user limits.
Custom-Fit, Not One-Size
I configure and extend open source tools to match your exact workflows — no workarounds, no compromises on features.
Zero Vendor Lock-in
Your data stays yours. Migrate, modify, or scale without asking permission or paying exit fees.
