Practical help with digital work, websites and technology decisions

Make work simpler.
Use technology without the unnecessary complexity.

I help independent entrepreneurs, small businesses and technical teams simplify work, improve websites and make important technology decisions.

Three areas where I can help

I help reduce unnecessary work, make better use of data and tools, and prepare changes that make practical sense.

Simplify your work

What becomes better

Less manual data entry and fewer mistakes, faster routine tasks, better visibility and less reliance on knowledge held by one person.

When this helps

You repeatedly enter the same data into several spreadsheets or systems, information is hard to find, or routine administration takes time away from customers and your core work.

Scope & deliverables

Improve your website

What becomes better

Visitors understand your offer sooner and can find important information and contact details more easily. The site works better on desktop and mobile and becomes easier to maintain.

When this helps

Visitors cannot quickly understand what you offer, important information is hard to find or the route to contacting you is unclear. The site may also be slow, awkward on a phone or difficult to update.

Scope & deliverables

Make a technology decision

What becomes better

A clearer decision before you invest, less risk of choosing the wrong solution and better control over scope, costs and next steps.

When this helps

You are preparing to buy software, commission development or connect systems, but it is not clear which option will fit and remain maintainable. You may know the result you want but lack a clear specification.

Early Release · preview

Architecture Workbench

Technical Decision

From a clear problem and scope, through comparing options, to a technical decision you can explain.

Choose this if

You are deciding what or how to build and need to clarify the problem, options and the decision rationale.

What it helps you do

A technical choice your team can explain, review and revisit without reconstructing the context from a conversation. When implementation is the next step, an approved specification gives the delivery team a clear starting point.

Useful for

People making or preparing technical decisions: technical leads, architects, product managers and consultants.

Architecture Workbench

AI-Assisted Change

Change code with AI. Keep the scope and checks clear.

Choose this if

The change is already defined and needs implementation or review in the repository.

What it helps you do

The change, its agreed scope, current state and check results stay together. Another person or agent can continue the work, and a person has the evidence needed to decide whether to merge.

Useful for

Developers, technical leads and reviewers working with AI coding agents.

A broader technical perspective. A practical next step.

I’m Jan Hroch. I turn experience in enterprise and solution architecture, integration and technology decisions into smaller changes that people can understand, use and maintain.

Remove what is unnecessary. Simplify first. Build only when it makes sense.
