IT Consulting
For small offices, home offices and sole traders.
Most small-business IT is sold as a package that was designed for somebody
else. I specify to what you actually do — how many people, what
software, what you cannot afford to lose, and what budget exists.
- Network design and rebuild, wired and wireless
- File servers, NAS and in-house storage
- Backup strategy that survives losing the building, not just the drive
- Hardware and software selection, with the reasoning written down
- Migration planning for new machines or a new office
Computer Hardware Troubleshooting & Repair
For desktops, laptops, workstations and custom builds.
Diagnosis first. A machine that has been slow for six months and a machine
that died on Tuesday are different problems, and the fix for one is a
waste of money on the other.
- No-boot, no-display and intermittent-shutdown diagnosis
- Thermal faults — throttling, failed pads and paste, dead fans
- Storage upgrades and data migration, including laptop SSD and NVMe work
- Operating system repair, clean rebuilds and performance recovery
- Custom builds specified for the work they will actually do
Crypto Mining Consulting
From a single miner at home to multi-unit ASIC deployments.
The hardware is the easy part. What sinks most mining projects is power,
heat, noise and the arithmetic — and those need answering before
anything is bought.
- Deployment planning: circuits, power budget, airflow and heat rejection
- ASIC and GPU hardware selection for the target coin and site
- Firmware, tuning and pool configuration
- Monitoring, alerting and uptime — the number that decides earnings
- Honest profitability modelling, including the case for not building
- Diagnosis and rescue of deployments that are already underperforming
On the maths: mining returns depend on power cost,
network difficulty and market price, none of which I control and none of
which are predictable. I will show you the model and its assumptions. I
will not promise you a return, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
Blockchain Security Research
Independent, published, verifiable.
Investigation of how networks and protocols behave under stress or attack
— including published work following a live hashrate vulnerability
and the response that stopped it.
- Network behaviour and hashrate anomaly investigation
- Protocol and mining-security review
- Written findings your team can act on
