I help professional services firms — law practices, accounting firms, financial advisors — get infrastructure that is secure, reliable, and under their control. That means 99.9% uptime with real monitoring, client data that never touches a third-party cloud, and private AI systems built on Proxmox and Cloudflare that your team can actually use. See what we build →

Every recommendation I make comes from a production environment I run myself: three Proxmox nodes, 50+ self-hosted services, a full private AI stack, and Zero Trust access policies enforced by Cloudflare — all managed as code, backed up daily, and monitored 24/7. If it is not solid enough for my own systems, it does not get recommended for yours. See the case studies →

Here is what I have learned after years of doing this: boutique IT consulting beats the big MSPs because you get a senior engineer on every call — not a tier-1 helpdesk ticket. I keep my client roster deliberately small so each business gets the attention it deserves, and I build systems designed to be transparent and hand-off-ready, not to lock you in.

What Sets Us Apart

Most IT consultants work from theory — slides, certifications, and vendor demos. We work from a live production environment that mirrors exactly what we build for clients. Every tool has been tested, broken, fixed, and hardened before we ever recommend it.

We focus on open-source, self-hosted solutions that give you full ownership of your data and infrastructure. No vendor lock-in, no surprise SaaS bills, and no black boxes you cannot inspect or modify.

Philosophy

Technology should serve your business, not the other way around. Good IT is invisible — it just works. We build systems that are simple enough for any team to operate, but solid enough to handle whatever your business throws at them. You should never have to think about your infrastructure. That is our job.
