One person, decades across small business, education, and nonprofit operations.
Chris Iacofano has spent his career close to the operational middle of those worlds. The plates on this site are the current, concrete expression of that experience: practical systems, restrained design, honest write-ups.
i.
Principles
- Judgment over novelty
- Years of real operating work taught me which problems deserve software, which deserve a checklist, and which deserve to be left alone.
- Evidence over claims
- Every skill named on this site traces back to a plate you can read. If I can't show it, it isn't here.
- Budget-aware by habit
- I default to reusing what exists, buying what's simple, and building only what earns its maintenance cost.
- Teaching is part of building
- A system is finished when someone who isn't me can understand it, run it, and change it safely.
ii.
Working style
This remains a high-attention, business-hours practice. It is not a 24/7 help desk and not a promise that one answer solves everything. Expect thoughtful work, clear follow-through, and honest limits.

What you can expect
- Plain-language explanations for technical and non-technical people.
- Respect for sensitive data, staff capacity, and organizational trust.
- Realistic choices that account for budgets, older systems, and maintenance attention.
- Write-ups honest enough to include limits and trade-offs.
