Technology Consulting

Your mission is too important for technology to get in the way.

EJM Tech helps nonprofits and community organizations build the technology foundations they need — so they can focus on the work that matters.

Practical technology guidance, built around your needs

We work alongside your team to assess, plan, and implement the right technology — not the most expensive or complicated, but the tools that actually fit your organization.

IT Planning & Systems Assessment

We evaluate your current tools and workflows, identify gaps, recommend solutions that fit your budget and capacity, and help you implement them — with training so your team feels confident.

Digital Security Basics

We help your team get the fundamentals right — password management, access controls, two-factor authentication, and safe practices for handling sensitive data. Practical security hygiene, not a compliance checklist.

Website Development & Digital Presence

From new builds to redesigns, we create websites that represent your mission clearly and work reliably — designed around what your audience and stakeholders actually need.

Domain & Infrastructure Setup

Domain registration, DNS configuration, email setup, hosting — we handle the technical plumbing that keeps your organization running smoothly online.

Technology Evaluations & Recommendations

Choosing between platforms, tools, or vendors? We cut through the noise with clear, unbiased assessments tailored to your organization's size, goals, and budget.

Data Management & Organization

We help you structure, organize, and manage your data — from file systems and databases to reporting workflows — so your information works for you instead of against you.

AI Readiness & Tool Integration

AI tools are everywhere, but not all of them are worth your time. We help you sort through the noise, identify what's actually useful for your work, and integrate it into your existing workflows.

Staff Technology Training

New tools only work if your team knows how to use them. We provide hands-on guidance and training so your staff feels confident with the systems they rely on every day.

Sentinel Chicago

We don't just advise — we build. Sentinel Chicago is EJM Tech's flagship initiative: a conservation organization using urban wildlife monitoring as an environmental health indicator for Chicago's underserved neighborhoods.

Currently in its founding stage, Sentinel is being built from the ground up — from a data platform that overlays public environmental datasets to community partnerships with Chicago's wildlife conservation network. It represents the full scope of what we do: strategy, data infrastructure, digital presence, and organizational technology, all applied to a mission we believe in deeply.

When we work with your organization, we bring the same hands-on commitment and technical depth we put into building Sentinel.

Built by someone who understands your world

EJM Tech is led by Eric Jawaid Marty, a software engineer with over 15 years of professional experience spanning web development, healthcare technology, document management systems, and digital presence work for mission-driven organizations.

Eric's career has taken him from early-stage startups to enterprise medical imaging software, with roles across the full stack — backend systems, frontend interfaces, and everything in between. That breadth of experience means he can meet organizations wherever they are technically and help them move forward.

Now founding Sentinel Chicago, Eric understands the realities of mission-driven work firsthand: limited budgets, small teams wearing many hats, and the pressure to deliver impact with constrained resources. That experience shapes every engagement.

EJM Tech isn't a large firm that treats your project as a line item. It's a hands-on consultancy where the person scoping the work is the same person doing the work — bringing deep technical expertise, clear communication, and genuine investment in your success.
