Hands-on IT infrastructure, security, and private AI for small and mid-size businesses across the Lower Mainland — Surrey, Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Delta, Langley, New Westminster, and Coquitlam. One engineer, same-day replies, no SDR layer between you and the person doing the work.
A short list of the engagements that keep small offices, clinics, law firms, and trades / logistics shops in BC running — from racking the new server through to standing up a private AI assistant that respects your data.
Switches, firewalls, structured cabling, Wi-Fi, monitored backups. Wireless point-to-point bridges between sites (TP-Link CPE710-class radios) for warehouses and branch offices that don’t want a second internet bill. Documented runbooks so your team isn’t stuck if I’m unreachable.
Conditional access, MFA rollouts, AD cleanup, hybrid identity, SharePoint information architecture, Intune device management. My day job is administering this stack — I bring the same depth to client work.
Threat-modelled defense-in-depth: MFA everywhere it matters, least-privilege design, hardened endpoints, central logging that someone actually reads. Backup strategies tested by actually restoring, not just by the green checkmark.
A private chat assistant or RAG system running on hardware you own. Prompts and documents never leave your network — important for BC clinics under PHIPA, law firms with privileged material, and any business that’d rather not feed its strategy into someone else’s training pipeline.
Most of my work is in person within an hour’s drive of home. That means I can actually be in your server room when something needs a hand on the hardware — running the cable, swapping the drive, plugging in the GPU. For everything else there’s remote SSH and a chat thread that replies same day. No outsourced help desk in a different time zone, no ticket system you have to argue with.
Cities I regularly work in: Surrey, Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Delta, Langley, New Westminster, and Coquitlam. Further out (Abbotsford, Maple Ridge, Whistler) is doable for the right project — ask.
60-minute review plus a short written report on where private AI (and tighter IT) would actually save your business money. In-person when you're close enough to drive, remote when you'd rather not host.
