Growing businesses hire me when IT becomes a distraction. I fix what's broken, secure what matters, and keep it simple.
I'm James. I consult with growing businesses on IT and cybersecurity.
Ten years managing infrastructure for companies across different industries taught me that most IT problems come down to the same things: systems that were never set up right, backups that were never tested, and security that lives in a policy document but not in practice.
I work directly with owners, not their vendors. Honest advice, plain language, and solutions you can actually maintain.
No retainers you don't need. No tools I get paid to recommend. Just the work that actually matters for where your business is right now.
You shouldn't need a vendor to tell you what you need. Get a clear, objective view of your IT direction, tools, and spending before you commit to anything.
Most M365 tenants are misconfigured from day one. I set it up right, clean up what's already there, and keep it running the way it should.
Breaches happen because of habits, not hackers. MFA, access controls, phishing awareness - the basics that actually reduce your real-world risk.
Do you know what you'd lose if a server died tomorrow? I help you find out, and fix it before it becomes a crisis.
Before you sign that contract, talk to someone who isn't selling anything. I help you buy the right thing at the right price.
If your team does it manually every week, it can probably be automated. I find those gaps and close them with PowerShell, Python, or Ansible.
