Services

Practical technology solutions built around your business.

Technology should solve problems, not create more of them. I design, implement, troubleshoot, and maintain business technology environments that are reliable, secure, manageable, and appropriate for the way your organization actually works.

01

Networking & Wi-Fi

Reliable connectivity starts with a network designed as a system.

Poor Wi-Fi is often only the symptom. Overlapping access points, network loops, aging switches, incorrect cabling, poor placement, and equipment added over time without an overall design can all create reliability problems.

New network design
Existing-network cleanup
Wired infrastructure
Wi-Fi coverage & roaming
Switching & routing
VLANs & segmentation
Firewall configuration
Troubleshooting & growth planning
The goal isn't to install the most equipment. It's to build the network the business actually needs.
02

UniFi Infrastructure

More than access points.

UniFi can provide an integrated platform for networking, wireless connectivity, video security, and physical access control. I design UniFi environments around the needs of the business rather than simply installing individual products.

UniFi gateways
Managed switching
Business Wi-Fi
Centralized management
VLAN & security design
New facilities & upgrades
UniFi is one of my preferred platforms when it fits the problem, but the solution comes first. A good design may include equipment from multiple vendors when that is the right choice.

03

Video Security

See what matters without creating another complicated system.

I can design and implement UniFi Protect environments around camera placement, network requirements, recording capacity, remote access, and how the people responsible for the system will actually use it.

Camera planning & placement
Recording & retention
Remote viewing
Network integration
User access configuration
Protect user training
Installation isn't finished when the cameras turn on. The people responsible for the system should know how to view live video, find recordings, and download footage when they need it.
04

Physical Access Control

Control who can enter without adding another disconnected platform.

UniFi Access can extend the same infrastructure into physical door security. Where it fits the larger infrastructure project, I can help plan the network, power, cabling, credential, and policy requirements for controlled doors and their integration with the rest of the UniFi environment.

Door infrastructure planning
Credential & access-policy planning
Network requirements
Protect integration planning
Access control is offered where it fits the overall infrastructure project. I am not positioning Dan's Tech Stuff as a standalone commercial locksmith or alarm company.

Microsoft 365 & Email Security

Your email shouldn't be a mystery.

Microsoft 365 problems frequently extend beyond Microsoft 365 itself. DNS, domain configuration, identity, third-party SaaS platforms, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC can all determine whether mail is secure and whether legitimate messages reach customers.

Microsoft 365 setup & migrations
Exchange Online
Identity & access
MFA & security hardening
SPF, DKIM & DMARC
Spoofing protection
Mail-flow troubleshooting
Email deliverability
Customers not receiving your email? Rather than changing settings at random, let's identify what is actually happening and fix the underlying configuration.

Cloud & Technology Consulting

Some problems don't fit neatly into a service category.

My background spans infrastructure, cloud, security, systems engineering, architecture, operations, and technology leadership. That breadth is useful when the real problem crosses several systems or vendors.

AWS & Azure environments
Cloud architecture
Migrations
Systems design
Infrastructure planning
Disaster recovery planning
Technology selection
Complex troubleshooting
If you're not sure which service your problem fits into, that's fine. Tell me what you're trying to accomplish.

FinOps & Cloud Cost Optimization

23%

Average monthly savings from a prior cloud optimization program.

Your AWS bill shouldn't be a surprise.

Cloud costs can grow much faster than visibility and accountability around them. I help organizations understand spending, allocate it meaningfully, identify optimization opportunities, build forecasting and accountability processes, and measure whether savings initiatives actually deliver.

FinOps is not limited to small businesses. The same disciplines apply from growing cloud users to large organizations with significant AWS spend.

New Facilities, Moves & Vendor Coordination

Someone needs to make sure all the technology pieces work together.

A new building or move involves more than the network vendor. AV systems need connectivity. Phones need connectivity. Cameras and access control need network and power. Wireless coverage depends on the physical building. Racks need appropriate power, cabling, ventilation, and placement.

Network & rack planning
Structured-cabling coordination
Electrical coordination
AV network integration
Phone-vendor coordination
Camera & access planning
I can bridge the IT gap across vendors so the finished facility operates as one environment rather than several disconnected installations.

Ongoing Technology Partnership

The relationship doesn't have to end when the project does.

For customers who want continued involvement, I can remain engaged after implementation so you have someone who already understands the environment when the next problem or decision appears.

Maintenance & updates
Troubleshooting
Technology planning
Upgrade recommendations
Vendor coordination
Ongoing support
This is not about selling a generic managed-services package or advertising consumer break/fix support. It's about continuing to work with someone who understands the systems we've built together.

Not sure what you need?

You don't need to diagnose the problem before contacting me.

Tell me what's happening, what you're trying to accomplish, and what isn't working. We'll start there.
