I fix email that isn't being delivered, and I migrate mail infrastructure without losing data. Most deliverability problems trace back to DNS — a missing DKIM record, an SPF record over the 10-lookup limit, or duplicate DMARC records silently cancelling each other out. I find the actual cause rather than guessing, because I verify against authoritative nameservers instead of trusting vendor dashboards, which cache aggressively and routinely report records that aren't there. What I do: • Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 migrations, in both directions, including cPanel/SiteGround IMAP transfers with zero data loss • SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setup and remediation — including SPF lookup-limit problems caused by stacked integrations like Shopify, Klaviyo, and Mailgun • DNS cutovers with documented rollback: TTL staged in advance, pre-change zone state recorded, single-seat pilot before full migration • Cloudflare, GoDaddy, and registrar-level DNS administration • Deliverability verification against MXToolbox, Mail-Tester, and header-level authentication analysis Background: 25+ years in infrastructure. I built and ran a regional ISP for eight years — roughly 10,000 customers on DNS and mail systems I operated myself — and I currently administer about 300 servers for a California State University campus. I work in focused blocks and send a written update after each one, so on an hourly engagement you always know what the last block bought you.
