Assessments, planning and ops for systems that stay up.
IT audits, infrastructure planning, Linux and server administration, cloud cost control, networking, backups and monitoring — delivered by someone who has run each of these in production, not just read about them.
Most IT problems are discovered by staff, not by systems.
The printer breaks again. The internet drops and the ISP says it's on your side. The backup job 'ran' but has never been restored. When nothing is monitored, documented or tested, every incident is a surprise — and every surprise costs hours, revenue and trust.
Consulting that starts where you are.
Backups, networking, security, access, monitoring and downtime risk — with a prioritized remediation plan. From KSh 15,000.
A deliberate map of what you have, what you need, and the order to buy and build it.
Hardening, patching, services, users — operated with the same discipline as a production app.
Sizing, right-sizing and governance that cut bills without cutting capability.
Routing, switching, VLANs, Wi-Fi coverage and failover paths.
Backups that get restore-tested and monitoring that finds problems before users do.
How an engagement works
You describe what's slow, broken or risky. I tell you honestly whether I can help.
A working assessment of your actual environment — not a template scan.
A ranked list: what's urgent, what can wait, and the cost to close each gap.
Implement the fixes, run the operation, or hand you a plan — your choice.
Monitoring, scheduled maintenance and a human to call during incidents.

Questions people ask.
Backups (and whether they've ever been restored), networking, security, access control, monitoring and downtime risk — ranked by how each would hit your business. The guide on what an IT audit covers goes through every area.
IT audits start at KSh 15,000. The exact scope depends on the size of your environment, which is confirmed during the free first conversation.
Yes — a common engagement is the audit plus a remediation plan the internal team executes, or a part-time set of hands for what the team doesn't cover.
Those are exactly the environments this stage is built for. Small and mid-size operation with real downtime cost — not enterprise-software-shaped recommendations.
What does one hour of downtime cost you?
If the answer is real money, the audit pays for itself. If you're not sure, that's the first thing we'll work out.
