About Techneek
Real infrastructure experience, not just certifications on a wall.
Nico Mancinelli
I build and manage infrastructure for a living and for fun. Techneek grew out of years of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and maintaining systems that actually work in production. Every recommendation I make comes from something I have already tested, broken, fixed, and hardened in my own environment.
My homelab is a 3-node Proxmox cluster spanning personal projects, a private AI assistant platform, and a small-business production environment. The nodes are connected via Tailscale, managed with Terraform and Ansible, monitored with Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki, and protected behind Cloudflare tunnels with Zero Trust access policies.
I believe the best consultants run the same systems they sell. If I would not trust it with my own data, I would not recommend it for yours. That philosophy drives everything at Techneek, from the tools we choose to the architectures we design.

What Sets Us Apart
Most IT consultants work from theory. We work from a live production environment that mirrors what we build for clients. Every tool in our stack has been vetted through real-world use, not just a weekend proof-of-concept.
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 you, not the other way around. We design systems that are simple to operate, easy to understand, and built to last. Complexity is the enemy of reliability, so we keep things as straightforward as possible while meeting every requirement.

We've battle-tested every tool we recommend on our own production systems. Let's apply that to your business.
