Independent technical services
Practical IT engineering for systems that need to work.
I take on selected technical engagements across networking, infrastructure, systems administration, virtualization, backup and recovery, and implementation-focused automation. The work is scoped clearly, documented properly, and designed around the actual operating environment.
Focused technical services, not a generic service catalogue.
I work best on projects where the requirement is concrete: improve reliability, design a cleaner architecture, migrate an environment, solve an operational problem, or document and implement a technical change properly.
Infrastructure Design & Implementation
Planning and implementation of practical infrastructure for offices, small environments, labs, and technical teams.
Network Design & Configuration
Routing, switching, VLAN design, firewall policy, VPN connectivity, wireless planning, segmentation, and troubleshooting.
Backup & Recovery Planning
Backup architecture, retention planning, storage design, recovery procedures, and validation of restore workflows.
Virtualization & Homelab Engineering
Virtual machine environments, Proxmox-based labs, storage integration, service deployment, and technical test environments.
Systems Administration
Windows and Linux administration, identity and access fundamentals, DNS/DHCP, troubleshooting, service configuration, and operational documentation.
Managed Technical Support
Structured ongoing technical support, maintenance, troubleshooting, documentation, and follow-up for defined environments.
Workstation & Homelab Planning
Requirements-based component selection and architecture for technical workstations, storage systems, and home labs.
Technical Automation & AI Agent Setup
Selected automation and AI-agent implementation where there is a clear workflow, measurable purpose, and maintainable operating model.
Best suited to well-defined technical problems.
Good fit
- Network redesign, segmentation, firewall or connectivity work
- Infrastructure upgrades and migration planning
- Virtualization, storage, backup and recovery projects
- Systems troubleshooting with a clear technical scope
- Homelab architecture and implementation
- Technical documentation and implementation planning
Usually not the right fit
- Unlicensed software distribution or bypassing vendor licensing
- Projects requiring guarantees before the environment is assessed
- Undefined “fix everything” engagements without a usable scope
- Work that requires access or authority the client cannot provide
A clear technical engagement from scope to handover.
Initial brief
You share the requirement, current environment, constraints, timeline, and what a successful outcome should look like.
Technical assessment
I review what exists, identify dependencies and risks, and determine whether the requested approach is technically appropriate.
Scope & proposal
The work is defined in practical terms: deliverables, assumptions, responsibilities, timeline, and commercial terms where applicable.
Implementation & handover
The agreed work is implemented, validated, documented, and handed over with the relevant technical context.
Review implementation work before getting in touch.
The project portfolio shows how I approach technical problems, architecture decisions, deployment, and documentation.
Have a technical problem worth solving properly?
Send a concise overview of the requirement, current environment, location or remote-access constraints, expected timeline, and any important technical dependencies.
Include enough context for an initial technical assessment. Sensitive credentials or production passwords should not be sent by email.
