# SD Tech Solutions

> Hands-on IT infrastructure, security, automation, and private on-prem AI for small and mid-size businesses in the Lower Mainland, BC. Single-consultant practice: I rack the server, run the cable, write the code, and build the AI — not just review diagrams.

## What I do

- **Networking & infrastructure** — switches, routers, VPN/WireGuard, Wi‑Fi, monitoring, backup. Done properly, documented, hand-offable.
- **Security & access management** — Microsoft 365 / Entra hardening, Active Directory cleanup, MFA rollouts, SSO, IdP-backed login for internal apps.
- **DevOps & automation** — Linux server provisioning, CI/CD, scripting that eliminates recurring manual work, observability.
- **Private AI / on-prem LLMs** — capable AI running on hardware you own (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp). Retrieval (RAG) over your docs. Agentic workflows. Data stays on your network.
- **Tower** — a browser-based ops workspace pairing a live SSH terminal with an AI coding assistant. Same auditable tooling I build for clients.
