IT Consulting
Small office and home office infrastructure — networking, servers, backup, and the unglamorous question of what happens when it fails. Specified to your budget rather than a template.
Jacksonville & North Florida
Technology work, explained as it’s done.
XSF Telecom is the consulting practice of a working systems administrator — IT consulting, hardware troubleshooting and repair, blockchain security research, and crypto mining deployments from a single rig to a room full of ASICs.
Four things I’m hired for
Different problems, same approach: find out what is actually happening before changing anything, then explain what was wrong.
Hardware Troubleshooting & Repair
Diagnosis on desktops, laptops and workstations. Thermal faults, storage upgrades, failing components, machines that boot to nothing — found, fixed, and explained.
Crypto Mining Consulting
ASIC and GPU deployments at any scale. Hardware selection, power and thermal planning, pool and firmware configuration, and honest maths on whether a build pays.
Blockchain Security Research
Independent investigation of network and protocol behaviour, including published work on a live hashrate vulnerability and how it was stopped.
Why this desk
Formally trained
A degree in Computer Information Systems, applied daily as a working systems administrator rather than kept on a shelf.
Publicly checkable
Over 1,800 videos and more than 30,000 subscribers on the SerpentX Tech channel. You can watch the work before you hire it — most consultants can’t offer that.
You learn something
Plenty of shops fix the machine and hand it back without a word. The point here is that you understand what failed and how to avoid it next time.
Have something that isn’t working?
Tell me what the machine or the network is doing, what changed before it started, and what you have already tried. That is usually enough to say whether it is a quick fix or a real project.
