DevOps & Security Solutions
Infrastructure-focused engineering and security solutions that help organizations deploy safely, operate efficiently, and reduce risk. Honest scope, practical results.
Security Engineering & Hardening
Comprehensive security configuration and hardening to protect your infrastructure from threats.
- Secure configuration of firewalls (including pfSense), routers, switches, and servers
- Network segmentation (VLANs, guest/production separation) to reduce blast radius
- Baseline hardening for Windows Server and Linux (accounts, permissions, updates, logging)
- Basic IDS/SIEM setup using tools like Snort and Wazuh for alerting and visibility
- Security-focused troubleshooting for existing environments
Network Design, Deployment & Troubleshooting
Professional network infrastructure design and implementation for reliable, scalable operations.
- Small to mid-sized network design: IP planning, DNS, DHCP, routing, and switching
- Configuration and optimization of Cisco-based and SMB network gear
- Site rollouts and upgrades (new locations, hardware refreshes, POS/ATM network readiness)
- VPN setup for secure remote access
- Root-cause analysis of connectivity, latency, and intermittent network problems
Systems & Server Administration
Expert server deployment and administration for Windows and Linux environments.
- Windows Server deployment and administration (AD, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy)
- User lifecycle management and access control across servers and services
- Hyper-V and VMware virtual environment setup for labs and small production use
- Linux server setup for specific roles (web services, internal tools, utility servers)
- Backup, recovery planning, and basic high-availability approaches for critical services
DevOps-Oriented Automation & Tooling
Infrastructure-focused automation to streamline operations and reduce manual overhead.
- Scripting with PowerShell and Python to automate repetitive admin and deployment tasks
- Build-out of test/lab environments that mirror production for safer changes
- Basic CI-style workflows (scripted builds, simple deployment pipelines for internal tools)
- Log collection and monitoring setup so teams can see what's happening across systems
- Practical documentation and runbooks so operations aren't stuck in one person's head
Microsoft 365 & Identity Management
Complete Microsoft 365 setup and identity management for secure collaboration.
- Microsoft 365 Business setup and configuration for small teams
- Azure AD-based identity and access management (users, groups, basic security policies)
- Secure email and collaboration setup (MFA, basic phishing protections, mailbox policies)
- File sharing and storage structure that balances usability and access control
- Ongoing support and adjustments as the organization grows
Security Awareness & Advisory
Practical security guidance and training to build a culture of security awareness.
- Social engineering and phishing awareness training for staff
- Walkthroughs of an organization's current IT/security posture with practical next steps
- Guidance on prioritizing security improvements that actually reduce risk
- Translation between 'technical' and 'business impact' for leadership and non-technical teams
Note: DevOps services are infrastructure-focused and practical, not "full-blown DevOps transformation." These solutions are designed for small to mid-sized organizations looking for automation, security, and operational improvements.
