I’m an IT expert who prioritizes your uptime and your experience with technology over tech jargon. Let’s build a tailored suite of technology—hardware, software, cloud apps, and automations—that keeps your operations running smoothly. My mission is to help your organization operate more efficiently, smoothly, and reliably. With decades of experience in automating production and communications, I have a deep and broad understanding of the modern tools you likely use every day.

For instance, when someone submits a contact request on your website, they are instantly entered as a lead in HubSpot, and a new project is created in Asana, assigned to the next available account rep. When your team logs billable hours, they are tracked in Airtable and linked to the appropriate QuickBooks project. After a client meeting, you can receive a transcription, an AI-generated summary with action items added to Notion, and the client receives a personalized thank-you email.

Hey, I’m James. I’ve been a self‑employed business network and server admin for 25+ years, building and supporting critical infrastructure for SMBs and enterprises across the country. I work daily with Linux and Windows environments, VMware and Proxmox clusters, and complex networks that simply cannot go down. Many of my core clients have trusted me with their systems for over 20 years, because I focus on rock‑solid uptime, clear communication, and long‑term relationships—not quick fixes. I specialize in infrastructure that has to “just work”: virtualization, storage, networking, security, and web hosting. Recent work includes fully automated multi‑node VMware + vSAN builds using IPMI, PowerShell, and Python; high‑availability WordPress platforms with 50,000+ active members and 99.999% uptime; and deep network redesigns with Unifi, VLAN cleanup, and clear documentation your internal IT team can actually use. At the enterprise level, I’ve redesigned infrastructure for a 6‑billion‑dollar publicly traded company, implementing redundant firewalls, VMware hosts, dual fiber to AWS with VPN failover, and power redundancy—while reducing monthly management costs by over 25,000 and consolidating 20+ servers to 8. I’ve also delivered CMMC v2 cybersecurity implementations for government contractors, combining policy, technical controls, and staff training into a practical, auditable program. ​ If you’re looking for top‑tier help (not the cheapest bid) with cloud infrastructure, virtualization (VMware/Proxmox), network security, database and web hosting, or compliance‑driven environments, let’s talk. Send a brief overview of your current setup, pain points, and goals, and I’ll come back with a clear, no‑nonsense plan to stabilize, simplify, and scale your infrastructure. When you hire me, here’s what you can expect: 1. Click the “Invite” button to share your job and a brief overview of your environment. 2. Once we’re matched on Upwork, we’ll jump on a call (Zoom or phone) to walk through your current setup and objectives. 3. I’ll ask targeted questions to clarify requirements, risks, and success criteria so we’re aligned on exactly what “done” looks like. 4. I’ll send you a high‑level written plan outlining the approach, milestones, and estimated hours or budget. 5. When we agree on the plan and timeline, I’ll execute, keep you updated as we go, and document everything so your team isn’t left in the dark. If this sounds like the level of help you’re looking for, click “Invite” and let’s get your infrastructure stable, secure, and easy to manage.

I’m a Cloud Architect, Infrastructure Engineer, and Cybersecurity Consultant with 13+ years of experience designing, securing, and modernizing enterprise infrastructure across military, federal, and commercial environments. My background spans AWS cloud architecture, systems engineering, DevSecOps, cybersecurity, and infrastructure modernization, with hands-on experience leading projects from planning through production support. I specialize in helping organizations solve real operational problems, whether that means stabilizing legacy infrastructure, reducing AWS spend, improving security posture, modernizing deployments, or building scalable cloud environments that can support growth, compliance, and long-term operational stability. Over the years, I’ve worked across high-pressure environments including U.S. Navy shipboard infrastructure, Fleet Cyber Command vulnerability assessments, enterprise systems administration, and independent consulting work for startups and SMBs. I personally handle architecture, implementation, troubleshooting, automation, documentation, and client communication throughout the lifecycle of a project. My technical experience includes: • AWS architecture and infrastructure modernization • Terraform and Infrastructure as Code deployments • DevSecOps and CI/CD implementation • Linux and Windows systems administration • Hybrid cloud and migration projects • Vulnerability remediation and security hardening • Cost optimization and performance tuning • Technical project leadership and infrastructure advisory In addition to hands-on engineering work, I’m comfortable operating in fractional technical leadership roles where organizations need senior-level guidance alongside implementation. My combination of technical experience, business education, and prior business ownership allows me to work effectively with both technical teams and leadership stakeholders when aligning infrastructure, security, budgeting, and operational goals. Recent projects have included multi-tenant AWS billing automation pipelines, cloud cost optimization initiatives saving clients over $100K, CI/CD modernization efforts, and infrastructure rebuilds focused on scalability, resiliency, and operational simplicity. My approach is straightforward: security, reliability, and cost optimization should be engineered into the environment from the beginning, not bolted on later.
