Approach

Clarity,
grounded in purpose

I've worked in IT for more than 25 years, across technology strategy, operations and business growth. I started Mustard Seed IT in 2015 to offer businesses strategic advice and practical, hands-on help. Today I work with solopreneurs and small to medium businesses, wherever they are.

I'm your fractional CTO and technology advisor. I help you decide where your technology should go, and then I do the work to get it there.

I follow Jesus, and I want my work to honour Him. That's the standard I hold myself to.

"I quietly walk alongside you, strengthening your technology and business decisions, so you can focus on what you've been called to do with peace of mind." — Sri

Process

How I work

Here's how a typical engagement runs.

Assess

I start by listening. Then I look at what you've got: your systems, your tools, and how you and your people use them. I'll show you the gaps and risks I find, and what to tackle first.

Plan

Together, we agree on a plan with clear priorities: what to fix now, and what can wait.

Deliver

Then I do the work, on my own or alongside your team if you have one. I make sure you understand what's been set up, and I check in regularly so nothing gets forgotten. If you'd like ongoing support, we can set that up. I want to see you grow, not become dependent on me.

Results

What to expect

Clear decisions
I help you weigh technology choices against your goals, budget and risk, so you invest where it matters and skip what doesn't.
Safe and secure
I find the gaps in your systems and data and close them before they become problems, so your business and your clients are protected.
Peace of mind
I explain what I've set up and why, in plain English, so you're not left guessing how your own systems work. If something's unclear, just ask me.
Room to grow
I plan your technology around where you're heading. As CTO for an electrical business, I shaped a digital roadmap and led their move from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions you might have

I give you strategic direction, risk management and hands-on leadership, without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive. I advise, I execute, and I stay with you as your business grows. I take the time to understand both your technology and your wider business goals.

I'm not set up as a managed service provider or a help desk. I work as your fractional CTO: I help you decide where your technology should go, and then I do the work to get it there. My focus is long-term stewardship. I align technology with your vision, reduce complexity, and build resilient systems that support sustainable growth. I can also help you work out what makes you different, and how to show it.

Yes. I lead complex technology projects, including strategic AI initiatives, cloud migrations, system integrations, cybersecurity strategies, and the development of custom solutions. I actively research and evaluate practical AI applications to ensure they deliver real business value. I can also manage overseas technical talent on your behalf. My focus is always on delivering projects on time, within scope, and with minimal disruption, while translating technical complexity into clear business outcomes.

The outcome I work towards is peace of mind: less worry about your IT, spending that makes sense, stronger security, and technology that supports your growth. Every engagement is unique, which is why I start with a discovery call.

Jesus is the cornerstone of my life. His teachings shape my deep commitment to integrity, excellence, and genuine service in every client relationship. You can expect honest counsel, uncompromising standards, and a partner who cares about building solutions that endure — both technically and ethically. I also pray for my clients through the week!

The best next step is a no-pressure Discovery Call. We'll explore your current challenges and determine whether we're a good fit. There's no obligation, and many leaders find the conversation valuable regardless of the outcome.

I tailor every engagement to what you need. Some clients work with me on a monthly retainer for ongoing advice and hands-on help, with regular check-ins so nothing gets forgotten. Others bring me in for a specific project, and if you'd like ongoing support afterwards, we can set that up. Either way, I advise and I do the work.
