A practitioner’s studio for work that is still taking shape.
I work for myself. Not a staffed firm, not a hobby, not a nonprofit — a solopreneur with several ventures and a long view of what comes next.

About Me:
---------

SherpasSolutions is the public home for my professional brand. I am SJ Barakony: self-employed for almost twelve years, and in this arena for fifteen or more if you count the years of serious side practice before it became the main work.

I am a technician and a futurist — curious about systems, tools, and the questions that arrive before the market has language for them. I also serve as a Key Alumni Partner at Ohio Wesleyan University, mentoring students drawn to small business and the entrepreneurial mindset.

Open to co-create. Work is remote and asynchronous.
Ohio is the listed home base — not a studio to visit.
