IT & Cybersecurity Consulting

What This Covers

System Backups & Data Protection

Your photos, documents, tax records, that one folder you haven’t organized since 2017 — all of it matters. I’ll set up a backup system that actually works and runs without you thinking about it.

• Local backups — external drives, NAS setups
• Cloud backups — choosing the right service and configuring it properly
• Backup verification — making sure your backups are actually recoverable (most people never check)
• Data migration — old computer to new computer, keeping everything intact

OS Upgrades & System Migration

Still on Windows 10? Need to move from an old PC to a new one? Upgrade while making sure your software, files, and settings come with you.

• Windows — clean installs or in-place, depending on what makes sense
• Linux — if you’re curious, I can help you try it safely.

Security Audits (Home & Small Business)

You don’t need a Fortune 500 security budget to protect yourself. Most breaches happen because of simple stuff:

• Password audit — are you reusing passwords? Using “password123”? Let’s fix that.
• Network security — is your WiFi open? Is your router running default firmware from 2019?
• Device hardening — making sure your machines aren’t broadcasting to the world
• Phishing awareness — I’ll show you what real scam emails look like so you stop falling for them
• Smart home review — that cheap camera from Amazon might be phoning home to somewhere you don’t want

Certifications

CompTIA Security+, Network+ and A+ certified. This isn’t just a paper credential — it means I’ve demonstrated knowledge in threat analysis, risk management, cryptography, network security as well as proficiency with basic hardware a software troubleshooting for most common devices.

What It Costs

$60/hour for consulting. For larger projects (full system migrations, business security audits), I’ll give you a flat quote upfront so there are no surprises.
