Who you are emailing
I am Sahib Dhaliwal. SD Tech Solutions is my IT consulting practice in the Fraser Valley: one person, who scopes the work, does the work and answers the email afterwards.
How I work
- Everything in writing: the plan from the check-up, the quote and the handover.
- Staged and tested before anything is cut over, with the way back written down first.
- Accounts, licences and documentation in your name, so you do not depend on me to get into your own systems.
- Replies within two business days. Planned work fits around your hours, including evenings and weekends.
- I recommend what fits, and that is often keeping what you already have.
Background
I have built and run production systems since 2022, starting with one hardware rack. Today it is a small production estate that runs real systems, including a GPU server for private models.
Alongside the practice, I work full time in an in-house IT role. That employer is not named on this site, and no work from that role is shown here.
Education
Bachelor of Computer Information Systems, with a concentration in security and software development.
What I work with
Microsoft 365 and Entra ID · Google Workspace · Windows Server and Active Directory · Linux · Hyper-V and KVM · pfSense and WatchGuard · Cisco Duo · Sophos Central · nginx · Ollama and open-weight models · SPF, DKIM and DMARC
Software, and who sells it
I do not sell software of my own. I recommend products that fit and explain why in the written plan.
Start with a free IT check-up
About an hour, on site or remote. I look and change nothing. You get a written plan in plain language, with the three things I would do first.
