Where generative AI actually helps, whether to move to the cloud, what to fix on your network. Your team does the work; I take on the judgement.
Not turnkey delivery — I take on the judgement and the design. Start with a single conversation and continue only if it is worth it.
Start from "could AI help us somewhere?" We work out which tasks are worth automating and which are not, then pick tools, set internal rules and design a small trial you can actually run.
Your team uses the tools. I judge where they fit and design how to get there.
AWS, Azure, OCI and Cloudflare — whether to move at all, what it will cost, and in what order. I can also break down your current bill to separate what is safe to cut from what is not.
Your team or vendor does the work. I own the design, the calls and the review.
Untangling the "only one person understands this" problem. Procedures and design rules written down, so your own people can run it. I have spent years standardising database operations and teaching it in-house.
Your people run it. I write the rules and do the teaching.
Choosing a web agency and checking whether a quote is reasonable, from the buyer's side. Small sites I can build myself. After launch, I can take over domains, SSL and the things that break.
Built by the agency you pick, or by me if it is small. I handle the judgement calls.
Reviewing your LAN, Wi-Fi, VPN and connectivity to find what is risky and in what order to fix it — starting from options that avoid replacing everything. My longest-running field.
Hardware work sits with your team or installer. I do the review and the priorities.
If none of the above fits, start here. For companies with no in-house IT person: someone to ask "what should we do about this?" — a single one-off conversation is a fine place to begin.
Research, comparison and decisions. Hands-on implementation is not included.
Chosen per project — no more moving parts than needed. More is not better.
Working out where it actually helps, and the rules to use it safely inside a company.
Adoption, migration and trimming the bill. Not loyal to one — chosen to fit the goal.
Site-to-site links, remote work connectivity and hardware selection — my longest-running field.
Standardising design and operational rules, performance tuning and troubleshooting — including running in-house training. Knowing both Oracle and OCI, I can judge migrations licensing included.
Building and running sites. This site is itself an example, running for pocket change a month.
Where I got stuck, and how I got out.
In June 2026 Oracle Cloud halved its free tier with no announcement. Free is not a price, it's a contract term — and the two questions to ask when you get a quote.
Two projects, two decision records, two different answers — written in the same week by the same person. Here is what actually drove the difference.
Get revalidation wrong and a free tier evaporates. Notes on putting a cache between an external API and a database.
You don't need to know what the problem is yet. If there's a way to avoid building anything, we'll look at that too.
