My story

I started this practice because small businesses deserve better IT

For over a decade I worked inside IT departments and consultancies — first as a systems engineer, then leading infrastructure and security programs for companies ranging from 20-person startups to regional enterprises with thousands of seats. Along the way I noticed the same pattern: the companies that needed good technology advice the most were the ones least able to afford it.

So I went independent. My practice is deliberately small, senior and hands-on. When you work with me, you work with the person who designs the solution, writes the documentation, and answers the phone at 7pm when something breaks.

“Technology should be the quietest part of running a business. My job is to make it boring — in the best possible way.”

I take on a limited number of clients at a time so every engagement gets real attention. That means no account-manager relay, no junior engineers learning on your dime, and no disappearing acts when things get complicated.

Career path

A decade of doing the work

2014 – 2017

Systems Engineer, regional MSP

Cut my teeth supporting 40+ small and mid-sized businesses: networks, servers, backups and the occasional fire-drill recovery. Learned to explain technical problems in plain English.

2017 – 2020

Infrastructure Lead, fintech startup

Took a 30-person company from a single server closet to a hybrid-cloud setup across three regions. Built the security and compliance program that carried us through Series B due diligence.

2020 – 2023

Security & Cloud Consultant, enterprise practice

Led cloud migrations and ISO 27001 readiness for mid-market clients. Specialized in taking messy legacy environments apart and putting them back together safely.

2023 – Present

Independent Tech IT Consultant

Founded my own practice to serve startups, professional firms and growing SMBs with senior-level IT consulting at a scale they can actually use.

Principles

How I operate

01

Honesty over billable hours

If you don't need something, I'll tell you. My income doesn't depend on inventing problems.

02

Documentation is part of delivery

If a future IT person can't pick up my work, it's not done. Every project ships with clear, plain-language docs.

03

Security as a default

Backups, monitoring and least-privilege access are part of every engagement — never a premium add-on.

04

Small by design

A limited client roster means fast response times and a consultant who actually remembers your setup.
