Built for no-drama IT. I design for self-support and “it just works,” then back it with a small team of like-minded pros for coverage.
If you’re not calling me, it’s because everything is working — that’s the goal.
South Jersey (Cherry Hill, NJ) + Remote • Work with the person who does the work. No contracts. Pause anytime.
Cash highly preferred; cash receives a substantial discount. Card/ACH available at list price.
No news is good news. If you’re not calling me, everything’s working.
The No-News Promise
Design for not calling me
Self-serve first: documented fixes and simple runbooks for your staff.
Automate the boring: patching, backups, user lifecycle, checks.
Alert when it matters: signal over noise; action with context.
Solo-first, team-backed
I’m your point person — you always know who’s accountable.
Behind me: a small network of senior engineers with the same ethos.
We share load, cover vacations, and swarm incidents when needed.
One brain, multiple hands — without big-MSP overhead.
Hands-on fixes + advisory. Whatever you need.
You bring the challenge. I bring the path forward. I do the work myself — cables, configs, cleanups — and I set direction like a CTO when decisions matter.
“It’s down, help now.” — troubleshooting, incident response, root cause.
“Make this reliable.” — backups, DR tests, monitoring, patching.
“Make it secure.” — identity, MFA, email hygiene, firewall, least-privilege.
“Make it simple.” — reduce vendor bloat, document what matters.
Why choose a solo CTO
Big MSP (the usual)
Ticket queues & account managers
Bundled “all-in” plans & long contracts
Rotating techs, variable quality
Great for large, standardized needs
Me (the solo alternative)
You work directly with the engineer
No contracts — start/stop anytime
Hands-on fixes + CTO guidance in one
Staff-like partnership with your team
MSP/vendor oversight when you need scale
What I can do
Strategy + execution across day-to-day IT and special projects. I also act as “staff you don’t have,” managing vendors/MSPs when that makes sense and stepping in directly when it doesn’t. I bring enterprise-level
automation and cost-saving moves that small businesses rarely get to use.

Recent fixes in South Jersey (Ops Notes)
Real, bite-sized jobs that show how I work. Great for local search, better for trust.
Wi-Fi dead in back office — fixed with AP relocation + channel plan
• Cherry Hill, NJ
POS terminals kept dropping. I mapped interference, moved 1 AP, set 20 MHz channels on 2.4 GHz, and band-steered staff to 5 GHz. Stable since.
