With 10 years in IT support, working mostly with small and medium businesses, this work is genuinely what I love. Big operations, small teams, or a single-person setup — it doesn't matter. I take pride in the outcome of every job and the relationship that comes with it. Good IT support is as much about communication as it is technical skill. I take the time to understand your setup, explain things in plain English, and make sure you actually know what's going on — not just that something got fixed. Here's what I can help with: → Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace — administration, day-to-day support, security checklists and phased rollout plans. I've worked with MSPs and currently manage a live Google Workspace environment with Microsoft integration → Email, DNS, SharePoint, OneDrive & Microsoft Teams administration → Windows systems administration & end-user support → RMM, patch management, backup monitoring & proactive maintenance → UniFi networking — VLANs, Wi-Fi & RADIUS authentication, hands-on with all three → Scripting, API integrations & workflow automation → Google Apps Script — custom logic, automated workflows and business process automation built on top of your existing Google Workspace tools → Connecting the tools and services your business already runs on → Patient support for non-technical and elderly users — no judgement, no rushed fixes I use modern tools, including AI where it makes sense to do so — modern problems require modern solutions. But everything I recommend comes from real experience and actual troubleshooting, not just a guess. Before anything else, I offer a free consultation. No pitch, no pressure. Just a conversation to understand what you're dealing with and whether I'm the right fit for you.
