Ascia Technologies is the current home for the independent consulting work I’ve done since 2006. Over the years I’ve moved between freelance work and full-time roles, sometimes both at once. Either way, I embed directly with teams to fix, build, and secure their systems. No account managers, no layers of indirection; just me and your problem. I’ve worked across the public and private sectors. Much of that work is confidential, so I keep the public description broad.
My specialty is mercenary janitor work: neglected codebases and infrastructure, legacy migrations, and safety guardrails for systems that reached production without them. Depending on the mess, that can mean Linux and DevOps, backend services and data pipelines, industrial networks, security assessments, or network-monitoring tooling. I’m comfortable with unfamiliar systems and ambiguous problems, and I try to leave things better than I found them. My blog shows what I’m working on and thinking about; my resume has the full timeline. If you think I can help, send me an email.
