About Goodrich Works
I’m David Goodrich. I started Goodrich Works as a way to bring together two things I’ve spent decades doing: helping organizations make sense of their technology, and helping students make sense of math.
I enjoy taking something that feels complicated or overwhelming and breaking it down into something clear, structured, and workable.
I’ve spent over 30 years working in technology leadership roles, including at Harvard Business School. My work has focused on improving systems that people rely on every day — from infrastructure and enterprise platforms to security, data, and operations.
A lot of that work comes down to a few simple questions:
What actually matters
What’s getting in the way
What can we simplify
I’ve led modernization efforts, cleaned up overly complex environments, and helped teams move from “this sort of works” to something much more stable and intentional.
I’ve also worked with students for over 30 years—in classrooms, tutoring, and hands-on, project-based settings, including LEGO robotics, Arduino electronics, and introductory computer science alongside math.
In practice, this breaks down into two areas.
For Businesses and Organizations
I help:
Set clear IT direction and system architecture
Identify and reduce security risk
Simplify fragmented tools and platforms
Design and build practical websites and web-based tools
Get real value from the systems already in place
This is hands-on, practical work that results in clearer systems and simpler, more manageable operations, and if that sounds helpful, I’d be glad to connect.
For Students
I work with high school students on:
Pre-Algebra, algebra, geometry, precalculus, and calculus
AP Statistics, AP Physics, and Computer Science
College entrance exam preparation, with a focus on problem-solving and strategy
Study habits, problem-solving approaches, and putting simple supports in place that make independent problem solving possible.
What I enjoy most is helping students reach real understanding, when the work starts to click.
