Drew Wolrige
Systems & Process Problem Solver
I help people make sense of complex software, product, and process problems.
After 30 years in IT systems, my confidence is in getting inside the problem, understanding what is really going on, and working out a practical way forward.
My current work includes JurnX, AVYN Health Record, and OpenTendril.
What I Do
I work directly in the product, system, or process. I am most useful when something is messy, blocked, fragile, unclear, or moving too fast without enough structure.
Product Recovery
Getting a derailed, limited, or messy software project back on track. Understand what is broken, what matters, what can be saved, and what needs to change.
Architecture & System Reviews
Finding where a system is breaking, where the model is weak, and where technical debt is starting to control the product.
AI-Assisted Workflow Guardrails
Helping teams use AI to build faster without quietly damaging the codebase, security model, or long-term maintainability.
Pragmatic Automation & Efficiency
Working out where a lightweight app, automation, or AI-assisted workflow is enough, and where proper engineering discipline is required.
Current Work
AVYN
A personal health record platform built around health events, medical documents, privacy, and controlled sharing.
OpenTendril
A guardrail system for AI-assisted development, wrapping LLMs in traditional architecture, review, and control.
JurnX
A trust-first data model and software foundation for systems that need reliable records, provenance, and human control.
Inline-Skates
A low-stakes market experiment in niche websites, product discovery, and AI-assisted web builds.

If you have a real product, system, or process problem and need deep practical technical judgment, send me a message.
I am most useful where the problem is messy, the model is unclear, or the system needs to be made reliable again.
