I’m Nathan Cook. I help you make confident technology decisions, put AI and automation to work, and build the software your business needs.

FOR EVERY KIND OF BUSINESS

Technology is part of every business.
Make it work for yours.

HOW I HELP

The right help.
At the right point.

Whether you run a technology company or a business that depends on IT to get things done, I bring clear direction and hands-on help. Start with a decision, a process, or a project that needs attention.

Technical Leadership

Clear direction.
Sound decisions.

Make technology decisions with a clear view of the business, the risks, and the work ahead. I help set priorities, choose tools and vendors, review architecture and projects, and give your team clear direction.

I also help you assess security risks, improve access and data protection, and make informed interviewing and hiring decisions. Whether you have developers and IT staff or rely on outside providers, I help you ask the right questions and choose your next steps.

Technology & IT strategy
Security & risk guidance
Technical interviews & hiring
Team & vendor direction

When is this a good fit?

You need experienced guidance for an important decision, a team or provider that needs direction, or a project that needs oversight. I work with technical teams and non-technical owners, with support shaped around the business.

AI & automation

Better ways to get
the everyday work done.

If your team is copying information between tools, chasing routine follow-ups, or working around disconnected systems, there is a better way.

I map the workflow, identify the opportunities, and put improvements into practice: straightforward integrations, custom automations, and AI that helps people find, review, and use information. We choose the technology around the work it needs to do.

Connected business tools
Workflow automation
Practical AI implementation

What does that look like?

A website enquiry becomes a record in your CRM. A routine report is prepared for review. Internal documents become easier to search. These are examples of the work we can tackle; the starting point is your process and the tools you use.

Build & rescue

Custom software.
A clear path to getting it done.

Bring a detailed spec, an early idea, or an application that needs help. I define requirements, build web applications, connect existing systems, and resolve the problems holding projects back.

For existing software, we establish what works, what’s fragile, and what needs to change. For new software, we turn your goals into a clear specification and a useful scope. You get a practical path forward and someone who does the work.

Requirements & specifications
Custom web applications
Existing software & project rescue

Do I need a finished specification?

No. Start with the problem, the people who will use the software, and what you want to improve. I turn that into a specification that gives the project a clear direction.

LET’S TALK

What are you working on?

Tell me about the decision, process, or project that needs attention. We’ll identify a useful next step.
