How I Can Help
Consulting, contract work, and advisory services for organizations that need reliable infrastructure, expert networking, and open-source strategy.
The Technology Health Check
Know what you have, what's at risk, and what to fix next. A fixed-scope assessment that gives you a clear, prioritized picture of your organization's technology — before committing to anything bigger.
Infrastructure
Servers, workstations, network, Wi-Fi, firewall, cloud services, and virtualization.
Security
Accounts, access, patching, endpoint protection, and exposure to common threats.
Documentation
Network diagrams, asset inventory, vendor list, and who owns what credentials.
Three Ways I Help
Tailored engagements for businesses, nonprofits, and technology teams that need infrastructure expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Infrastructure
Build and manage reliable technology foundations — from bare metal to virtualized environments, and the network that connects them.
- Infrastructure audit and architecture review
- Server deployment, hardening, and administration (Linux, FreeBSD)
- Network design, routing, and firewall configuration
- Virtualization strategy and disaster recovery planning
Security
Reduce risk and protect the organization — system hardening, access control, and security built on real USAID-project experience, not just theory.
- Infrastructure and network security audits
- System hardening and access/identity review
- Backup and recovery posture
- Security policy development
Digital
Keep your organization's online presence reliable — hosting, DNS, and the sites that represent you, backed by the same infrastructure discipline as everything else.
- Website hosting, DNS, and SSL/TLS management
- Website maintenance, updates, and backups
- Open-source stack migration and self-hosting strategy
- Team training, documentation, and knowledge transfer
Technology Care
For organizations that want more than a one-time project — someone responsible for your technology, month to month.
Essential
For small organizations that need the basics covered reliably.
- Monitoring and backup oversight
- Security baseline and patch management
- Documentation
- Monthly health report
Managed
The main offering — hands-on infrastructure, security, and support.
- Everything in Essential, plus:
- Server and network administration
- Security management and remote support
- Vendor coordination and regular reviews
Strategic
A fractional technology partner for organizations planning ahead.
- Everything in Managed, plus:
- Architecture and technology roadmap
- Cloud migration and modernization projects
- Quarterly planning and leadership reporting
Pricing depends on your environment and scope — every engagement starts with a conversation, often a Technology Health Check.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about working together? Here are the most common things people ask before starting an engagement.
Ask a Question01.What types of organizations do you work with?
I work with small to mid-size businesses, MSPs, nonprofits, NGOs, schools, and startups — especially organizations that don't have (or need) a full-time IT department. I have particular experience supporting organizations operating in resource-constrained environments, including USAID-funded projects. Most engagements start with a Technology Health Check so we both know exactly what we're working with before committing to anything bigger.
02.Are you available for remote work or only on-site?
I work remotely by default and am comfortable with distributed teams and async collaboration. On-site engagements in the Greater Houston area and beyond are possible for projects that require physical presence — structured cabling, hardware deployment, etc.
03.Do you offer reduced rates for nonprofits?
Yes. Nonprofits and community organizations are a priority for me. I offer discounted rates and in many cases pro-bono work for mission-aligned organizations, particularly those focused on underserved communities, youth, or humanitarian work.
04.What does a typical engagement look like?
Most engagements start with a Technology Health Check — a fixed-scope assessment that gives us both a clear picture of what's working, what's at risk, and what to fix next. From there, work is either a one-time project (a migration, a redesign, a security hardening pass) or an ongoing Technology Care engagement, depending on what your organization needs.
05.Do you provide documentation and knowledge transfer?
Always. Documentation is not optional — it's part of every engagement. I believe in leaving organizations more capable than I found them. All configurations, procedures, and infrastructure decisions are documented and transferred to your team.
06.What's the difference between a project and Technology Care?
A project has a defined start and end — a migration, a redesign, a security hardening pass. Technology Care is ongoing: I'm the person responsible for your infrastructure month to month, so nothing falls through the cracks between projects.
