A real person you can reach, who explains what I build and how to run it in plain English.

My story

From big systems to small-business wins.

I have spent more than 23 years in IT, helping companies work out which technology fits and then making it work. I started in systems and storage engineering at financial firms. Then I spent 16 years at EMC, later Dell EMC, designing solutions for large customers and coaching the partners who sold and supported them.

The skill I am proudest of is listening. I find out how a business really runs, spot where the time goes, and turn that into a plan that works.

Now I do the same thing on a smaller scale, here in Lake Havasu City. Perkins AI helps businesses hand repetitive work to software, with simple automations built on real examples from your own business.

The nerd side

Yes, it is a lifestyle.

I am a nerd in the full sense of the word, and I do not hide it. You can see it on the road.
