This is the work I've been doing for 16 years, now run as a real business out of Canton, GA. Hands-on around the property, software for the integrations nobody sells off the shelf, and the curiosity to figure out what most jobs actually need.
Based in Canton, GA, serving Canton and the greater North Atlanta metro. Software and web work served remotely.
No sales layer. No subcontracted crew. No phone tree. The person scoping your job is the person doing it, and the person you call six months later when something needs a second look.
My day job is product marketing in edtech (currently at Project Lead The Way; previously Woz Ed, Great Minds, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Promethean, and Boxlight Mimio). About fifteen years inside tech companies, mostly spent translating between engineers and the people who actually have to use the thing.
On evenings and weekends, I've spent the last 16 years running network drops, mounting cameras, building home labs, wiring audio, fixing what other contractors wrote off, and writing software for the integrations nobody sells off the shelf. Every job is a little different, which is what keeps it interesting.
Most real-world projects quietly touch several disciplines. A camera install needs networking. A networking job runs into smart-home gear. The smart home needs a little custom software. None of those fit a single specialist, and handing you off between contractors is how small problems become expensive ones.
One person across all of them means a single engagement can cross those boundaries without changing vendors, hourly rates, or whose phone you call when something needs another look.
Estimates are free. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you before you sign anything. The world has enough contractors stretching themselves thin.
Labeled cables, documented networks, tidy runs, and photos of the finished work. Future-you will appreciate it.
I don't disappear after the invoice. If something I built isn't working the way it should, I come back and make it right.
Pro-grade where it matters, consumer-grade where it's enough. I won't overbuild a job to pad the bill.
For software, you get the source, the documentation, and a handoff path. For hardware, you get a system that works without a forced subscription. No vendor lock-in either way.
Network maps, credentials handed off properly, photos and notes. Enough that you could hire someone else tomorrow if you needed to.
