IT · Infrastructure · Hands-On Technical Leadership
Set a course.
Build the future.
NorthBaseWorks gets in the room and does the work — navigating complex infrastructure, technical direction, and the systems that hold it all together — for organizations scaling fast, operating under regulatory weight, or integrating through M&A.
Now taking on a limited number of projects for 2026.
Where we help
// 01 — where we get hands-onTechnology strategy & operating model design
Rebuilding how a technology organization is structured, staffed, and funded to match where the business is actually headed — not where it started.
Hands-on application & infrastructure builds
Building and operating real software end to end — a shipped application, the monitoring and safety controls behind it, and the infrastructure it runs on — not just advising on how it should be done. See it in action.
M&A technology diligence & integration
Assessing acquired technology stacks, surfacing real risk and real cost before close, and running the integration that follows without disrupting either side.
Regulatory & audit readiness
Preparing technology organizations to stand up to external audits and regulatory scrutiny, with documentation and controls that hold up under real questions.
Vendor & enterprise contract negotiation
Renegotiating the platforms and vendors already in place — cloud, SaaS, infrastructure — for terms that reflect actual usage and leverage.
Interim & fractional IT leadership
Stepping into a technology leadership seat during a transition, a search, or a period that needs steady hands more than a permanent hire.
Board & executive technology communication
Translating technical reality into the kind of material a board, CFO, or CEO can actually act on — clear tradeoffs, clear numbers, no jargon.
What we're building
// 02 — two fronts, one operatorNorthBaseWorks
Fractional and interim technology leadership, M&A diligence, and operating-model work — in the room, hands-on, led personally from day one.
Scavenger
A shared shopping list app for households — add items by typing, talking, or snapping a photo, and Scout sorts them automatically. Organize by store with Base Camp, track every trip on your Trail, and keep your whole household in sync. Built for iPhone and iPad. On the App Store now.
How we work
NorthBaseWorks is built around one idea: technology leadership is a navigation problem as much as a technical one. Fast growth, regulatory pressure, and M&A all create the same demand — a clear-eyed read of where things actually stand, and a disciplined plan to move from there.
Engagements are scoped tightly and run with the same discipline used to lead technology organizations directly: start with discovery, not assumptions. Confirm root causes before proposing fixes. Leave every engagement with documentation the team can operate from after we're gone.
Every engagement is led personally — no bench, no handoffs to junior staff you haven't met.
Let's talk about where you're headed.
Whether it's an operating model that's outgrown itself, a deal that needs real technology diligence, or a leadership gap that needs steady coverage — reach out.
