Network & Infrastructure
Whether you're opening a new office, refreshing aging hardware, or dealing with a network that's always the bottleneck — I assess your situation and make sure your infrastructure matches where you're headed.

Infrastructure problems tend to be obvious once they're a problem. The goal is to get ahead of them.
Network design, ISP selection, hardware specification, and vendor coordination. Done right before you move in — not patched together after the fact.
Slow Wi-Fi, bandwidth bottlenecks, aging switches. Not just a nuisance — it's a productivity drain and a security risk. There's usually a root cause and a fix that's more targeted than "replace everything."
Firewalls, switches, and access points don't last forever. Plan the refresh before something fails and you're making decisions under pressure with no lead time.
VPN, remote access, and SD-WAN need to be configured correctly — not just "working well enough." Security and usability don't have to be in conflict.
Scope
Scope is confirmed after an initial assessment. Most engagements combine design, vendor selection, and implementation oversight.
The process
Most network problems are diagnosed correctly the first time you look at them carefully. The hard part is making sure the fix matches the actual problem.
Site visit or remote review of your current infrastructure. I identify bottlenecks, end-of-life hardware, security gaps, and mismatches between what you have and what your business actually needs.
Recommended architecture for your size and requirements — not over-engineered, not under-built. Hardware specs, topology, and ISP options included. You see what you're buying before you buy it.
ISPs, hardware vendors, and managed network providers evaluated, compared, and selected. I negotiate with vendors. You don't have to be the one translating between their sales decks and your actual requirements.
I manage the vendors doing the physical work — your ISP, hardware integrator, and anyone else in the chain. You're not the intermediary. I'm on-site or available through the cutover window.
Network diagram, hardware inventory, license and warranty expiration tracking, and configuration notes. Whoever needs to deal with this next — your MSP, an employee, a future vendor — has what they need.
