The engineer behind Hardcraft
Hardcraft is a one-person practice. You speak to the person who also does the work — no account manager, no handoff.
My work starts at the hardware: building racks, assembling servers, running cables and getting equipment going again. After that I keep that same environment running — managing, securing and moving it. Usually for companies that have outgrown "the cousin who knows about computers" but are too small for an in-house ops team.
What I deliver is not a black box. I document what I configure, explain why, and make sure the next administrator can carry on without me. That makes me replaceable — and it should.

Half an hour on the phone costs nothing and usually surfaces a few concrete improvements already.
