Whether you're starting a web initiative from scratch or want updates made to an existing website, Afomi provides a range of technical and information design services designed to add value to your organization.
Often, smaller organizations are not afforded the luxury of dedicated IT resources. Afomi was created to bridge this gap by helping organizations make more efficient use of technology. We analyze existing systems and business processes, collaborate to create technical and/or business recommendations, and offer assistance in implementation.
When systems need to "talk" to each other, Afomi can help translate. Are you in need of a coherent explanation of your technical infrastructure and possibilities for improvement? Afomi can help with visual, written, and video documention for computer systems, networks, business processes, and workflow.
Need help making sense of your organizational data? Afomi can assess your technical environment and design an information strategy that supports your business processes. The goal is to connect your people with the resources they need, when they need them.
MoreQuality is a passion project: bringing government data to light in an understandable and meaningful manner. MoreQuality was originally going to be a data-heavy site. The name refers simply to improving the quality of government operations. I am in my 8th year of public service (aka - working for a public organization). I can vouch for the uncanny and costly mess of the current government in Solano County and California.
The bureaucracy is completely real, yet inefficient beyond belief. Clinging to old organizational ideas (large government bureaucracy) stems from a lack of vision, and an inability to productively address large, difficult issues.
For SchoRen Network Management Solutions, I re-designed their website, with their customer base foremost in mind. SchoRen can now post news articles and blog to their own site. Additionally, the site is now more standards compliant, so the site is accessible to more people using mobile devices and modern browsers.
Tim Anderson, Owner of Greenline Landscape Management approached me about a website for his business, and I was happy to assist. We were able to create a basic website and launch in just a few days, in order to establish a presence. And we continue to improve the site as the content develops and his portfolio grows. Tim does wonderful work - contact him for any yard-care needs for yourself or a rental property.
At Mare Island Technology Academy, I have been working with a great group of people and have been assisting the school during its 10-year Anniversary. MITA is undergoing a Renaissance; realizing organizational efficiencies in the administrative and business areas, and showing great improvements in classroom instructional strategies.
I have worked on their website, network infrastructure, business documentation in the areas of accounting, technology, human resources, and school policy. MITA is such a great opportunity to not only explore technology but to APPLY it for the organization, and for the 600+ students attending this very unique and blossoming school.

I had the pleasure of working with my very talented and beautiful fiancee on a website for our wedding. We incorporated pictures from our Flickr account, included a Google Map, and linked to helpful information for our guests. Additionally, the website has been the impetus for a mini-blog that we/she's been keeping up with. So many good things to come!
