About Me

I've worn many hats over my career starting out as a system and network administrator for a small manufacturing company. I "learned to code" through practice, professional course work, internships, and finally as a professional software engineer working in industries like aerospace, communications, and financial services.

My skills range from hardware configuration to server administration (linux and windows) to custom software development and anything in-between. I am passionate about understanding complicated systems and communicating that understanding to others. I prioritize simplicity as my gold standard.

My mission is to enable you to manage, upgrade, and improve your systems independently

Services

Linux Expertise

From cloud workloads to on-premise servers, I’ll keep your Linux systems running smoothly. Specializing in Docker and Kubernetes, I optimize performance, troubleshoot issues, and guide upgrades.

Programming Solutions

Need a quick prototype in Python or a robust app in Go or C? I handle legacy code, business logic, APIs, and simple, effective web frontends with HTML and Tailwind CSS.

IT Management

Comprehensive IT support for user management, CRM/MRP tools, domain administration, databases, networking, and patch management, tailored for small to medium businesses.

Customer Support

With experience in phone and on-site support, I deescalate issues and provide clear, actionable solutions to keep your customers happy.

AI & LLM Integration

Stay ahead with Large Language Models. I’ll integrate AI tools if and when it makes sense into your workflows, ensuring your business is ready for the future.

Training

Guidance navigating your systems, software, and network. Gain confidence in managing, creating, and leveraging technology. Computers don't have to be daunting.

Not a business?

From digitizing old family home videos and recovering hard drives, I believe computers should be a tool, and I want to show everyone how to tame them

I offer a six topic crash course Computers 101, and am happy to pick up smaller projects as time permits
