What our clients say
“Our 3-story house finally has strong, reliable Wi-Fi everywhere — including the backyard and garage. Mike explained every step in plain English and segmented our IoT devices. Worth every penny.”
Home Wi-Fi Overhaul
“We wanted to get off Google Photos and have our own private library. Immich is now running perfectly, our 12 years of photos are safe at home, and we can access everything from anywhere. Mike even trained the whole family.”
Self-Hosted Photo & Media Hub
“Mike set up our smart lights, locks, thermostat, and cameras in one visit. Everything is local where possible and the routines actually make sense. Our kids can control things without us worrying.”
Smart Home Starter
“I run a small design studio. Mike got our office network, file sharing, and remote access sorted in half a day — secure, fast, and no monthly nonsense. He also cleaned up two ancient laptops. Total pro.”
