About me
What do I do exactly? Well, whatever you need I can cater for that! As an IT Engineer, I offer a wide range of services including network setup and maintenance, Wi-Fi, software installation and configuration, CCTV, hardware troubleshooting and repair, cyber security measures, data backup and recovery, and cloud solutions. With my expertise, I aim to ensure that your IT infrastructure is reliable, secure, and efficient, allowing you to focus on your core business objectives, whatever it might be!
I am a very big open source software and Linux advocate. What does that mean for you? It means that the software and solutions (in most part) are open source — they are not locked behind a company which means a lot more eyes are on the code which in turn improves the security. Another great benefit is that YOUR data is stored on YOUR servers (either on premise or in the cloud) without any company using it without you explicitly allowing it.
A decade of hands-on infrastructure
Alongside sopel.dev I work as a Network Manager, looking after infrastructure for a 1,500-user environment — high-availability virtualisation, 20+ switches, a 60-camera CCTV system and site-wide access control. So the solutions I bring you are battle-tested at scale. CompTIA Security+ certified, with a BSc (Hons) in Computer Systems & Networks.
Open source code is reviewed by far more people than any closed vendor's — bugs and vulnerabilities get found and fixed faster.
Self-hosted on premise or in your own cloud — no company touches it without you explicitly allowing it.
Solutions that work today and can always be moved, extended or self-managed tomorrow.
Beyond the network, I design and install CCTV, door entry and access control — integrated with your systems and managed from one place.
