FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions I get from prospective clients.

What types of businesses do you work with?

I work primarily with small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), home users, and solo founders. Whether you need a single application built, ongoing IT support, or a full infrastructure overhaul, every engagement is scoped to your specific needs and budget.

How do consultations typically work?

Every project starts with a free, no-commitment conversation. We discuss your needs, I ask questions to understand the scope, and then I provide a clear proposal with deliverables, timeline, and pricing. No surprises.

Do you offer ongoing support or just one-time projects?

Both. Some clients need a one-time build or fix, others want a long-term technical partner for continuous support, monitoring, and improvements. I'm flexible and happy to structure the engagement however makes sense for your business.

What is your pricing model?

All consultations are custom-scoped, there are no one-size-fits-all packages. Pricing depends on the complexity, timeline, and scope of work. I provide a clear, written proposal before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect.

Do you handle security assessments yourself?

Security assessments and penetration testing are performed through my partnership with Binary Hive Tech Solutions. This means you get dedicated security expertise backed by a team that specializes in offensive security, while I remain your single point of contact for everything else.

What cloud platforms do you work with?

I work with AWS, Google Cloud (GCP), Azure, Linode, Hostinger, and other providers. I also set up on-premises and self-hosted infrastructure. Linux, or Active Directory environments - as long as I can get terminal access, albeit through remote means via a VPN or hands-on on-site, then I am able to work with it. However, the right choice (Cloud infrastructure vs. On-premises) depends on your needs, budget, and compliance requirements; I'll recommend what makes the most sense.

Can you help with an existing system that needs fixing or improving/upgrading from a Legacy system?

Absolutely. A large part of my work involves diagnosing and fixing existing systems, whether that means stabilizing unreliable infrastructure, improving performance, patching security gaps, or modernizing legacy applications.

How do you handle client data and privacy?

I take data privacy seriously. This website collects no personal data whatsoever, no cookies, no analytics, no tracking. The only information received by us would be anything you sent from the contact form. Any information shared via email is encrypted at rest and never stored in plaintext using GPG/OpenPGP. See the full Privacy Policy for details.

What certifications do you hold?

I hold CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, and Certified AppSec Practitioner (CAP) certifications, with ongoing training to stay current on emerging threats and technologies.

How quickly can you start a new project?

It depends on current workload, but most projects can begin within 1-2 weeks of agreement. For urgent matters, like a security incident or critical system failure, I can often begin immediately. Reach out and we'll discuss timing.
