Enterprise experience. Practical solutions.
I help businesses solve technology problems across networking, UniFi infrastructure, Microsoft 365, email deliverability, cloud consulting, and FinOps — with solutions designed to work today and scale when the business does.
What I help businesses solve
I work across infrastructure, cloud, Microsoft 365, security, cost optimization, and the systems that connect them — with the goal of solving the business problem, not forcing it into a predefined service package.
Wired networks, Wi-Fi, switching, VLANs, troubleshooting, upgrades, and integrated UniFi infrastructure.
Explore infrastructure →UniFi Protect cameras, recording and retention planning, remote access, and physical access-control planning.
Explore Protect & Access →Migrations, identity and security, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, mail flow, and email-deliverability troubleshooting.
Explore Microsoft 365 & email →AWS and Azure consulting, cloud-cost visibility, allocation, optimization, forecasting, and accountability.
Explore FinOps →Network and rack planning, structured cabling, AV and phone connectivity, and coordination across vendors.
Explore facility planning →Maintenance, upgrades, troubleshooting, planning, and support from someone who already understands the environment.
Explore ongoing support →Enterprise experience, right-sized
Decades of experience across enterprise and startup environments — infrastructure, cloud architecture, security, operations, Microsoft 365, and cloud cost optimization — translated into solutions appropriate for your business.
Reliability, maintainability, and security are considered from the beginning.
Build what makes sense today without creating a dead end tomorrow.
Enterprise practices where they create value; simpler solutions where they don't.
UniFi & Infrastructure
UniFi can bring networking, wireless infrastructure, video security, and physical access control together. The value comes from designing those pieces as one reliable environment.
Recording, remote access, retention planning, and user training.
Physical access control planned alongside the network and surrounding infrastructure.
VLANs, segmentation, redundancy, switching, routing, and centralized management.
UniFi is one of my preferred platforms when it fits the problem, but the solution comes first.
Microsoft 365 & Email Security
DNS, identity, mail flow, third-party SaaS services, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC can all determine whether email works correctly and whether customers actually receive your messages.
Discuss an email problem →Cloud Cost & FinOps
When cloud spending suddenly jumps, the total is only the beginning. I help businesses understand what changed, who owns the cost, where optimization is realistic, and whether savings efforts actually deliver the results they were supposed to.
A practical FinOps approach
Hover or tap a card to see what each step means.
Real businesses. Real projects.
From overlapping consumer Wi-Fi and network loops to a coordinated UniFi environment, Protect cameras, vendor integration, user training, and later email-deliverability work.
A focused UniFi deployment solved poor coverage and roaming while creating the foundation for a future camera project.
A QuickBooks complaint uncovered a tangled network. Since 2023 the relationship has grown through network, PC, server, backup, maintenance, and support projects.
Ongoing Technology Partnership
For customers who want continued help, I can remain involved with maintenance, updates, troubleshooting, technology planning, upgrade recommendations, vendor coordination, and support.
How I work
I start by understanding your business, what you're trying to accomplish, what isn't working today, and what you already have. Then we determine the right solution together.
Sometimes that means replacing infrastructure. Sometimes it means fixing what's already there. Sometimes the right answer is much simpler than expected.
Hi, I'm Dan.
I've spent my career solving technology problems — from hands-on systems engineering through leadership roles responsible for infrastructure, cloud operations, security, and cost optimization.
Dan's Tech Stuff lets me bring that experience directly to businesses that want practical solutions and a technology partner they can work with directly.
