See the whole picture
Cut through the noise around a decision, a system, or a situation. Find what's actually load-bearing, name the trade-offs honestly, and put the right question on the table.
Independent consulting
Consulting for the problems
that don't fit a category.
Some problems aren't really about the technology, or the org chart, or the spreadsheet — they're about all of it at once. After nearly fifty years working across disciplines, I help people see them clearly and decide what to do.
What I do
I solve hard problems.
Not a fixed menu of services — a way of working. Clients usually come to me when something important is stuck, ambiguous, or doesn't map cleanly to any one specialist. The work takes whatever shape the problem requires.
Judgment, not jargon
Fifty years of pattern recognition across hardware, software, business, and the spaces between. I translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders so everyone can think clearly together.
Decisions under uncertainty
When the data is incomplete, the timeline is short, and the stakes are real, I help you reason carefully, choose deliberately, and move.
Quietly, off the record
Often the most useful work is a confidential sounding board for a founder, an executive, or a team lead. No retinue, no slide deck — just the conversation you need.
About
A polymath's practice.
Orion Computing LLC is an independent consultancy based in Dayton, Ohio. Behind it is a single practitioner — generalist by temperament, technologist by trade, problem-solver by long habit.
Across nearly five decades I've worked with technology in many of its forms: the machines, the code, the people who build with them, and the organizations that depend on them. The thread running through all of it is curiosity and the discipline to follow a problem wherever it leads.
I keep the practice small on purpose. Engagements are direct, the conversations are candid, and the work is judged by whether it actually helped.
