TARGET_01
Small & mid-sized business
You need IT that works and someone to call who already knows your setup. I run it so you can run the business.

Infrastructure that stays standing.
I'm John: a cleared systems engineer and security professional. I help organizations build, secure and run reliable IT. You work with me directly, not a help desk and not a handoff.

What I do
-
01
Managed IT Support
Ongoing support, monitoring, patching, backups and user management for small and mid-sized businesses. One person who knows your environment.
-
02
Systems Engineering & Infrastructure
Design, build and operate servers, networks, virtualization and cloud environments, with a deep Red Hat and Linux foundation. Documented, repeatable, built to be handed off.
-
03
Cybersecurity Consulting
Risk assessments, hardening, access control, incident readiness and policy work, from someone who has done it in government environments.
-
04
IT Projects & Implementation
Migrations, rollouts and platform changes, scoped clearly and delivered on a schedule you can plan around.
-
05
Contract Engineering
Cleared, certified engineering for enterprise clients, government contractors and staffing partners. Subcontract or direct engagement.
// 02
Custom websites
I also design and build custom websites, written by hand rather than assembled from a template or page builder.
With a software engineering and security background, I build sites that are fast, accessible, and locked down properly. You get a site that looks like your business, not like everyone else's, and one you actually own: no plugin sprawl, no monthly platform lock-in.
The site you're on right now is an example. It's hand-coded HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
design: custom, on-brand build: hand-coded, no bloat devices: phone, tablet, desktop forms: contact + lead capture security: https, hardened config hosting: setup + deployment ownership: you keep the code handoff: documented, easy to update

Who I work with
TARGET_02
Enterprise & mid-market
You need a specialist for a defined problem: an architecture, a migration, a security gap. I deliver it and document it.
TARGET_03
Contractors & staffing firms
You need a qualified, cleared independent provider who shows up prepared and meets the paperwork as well as the technical bar.

How I operate
# defaults you'd want on your own network security: access: least-privilege patching: scheduled, verified backups: tested, not assumed response: first_contact: the engineer who does the work expectations: stated up front documentation: rule: if it only works because one person remembers it, it's broken communication: scope: plain cost: plain risk: plain upsells: none
