Freelance Services

Business Services

Running a business is hard, leave the tech for a technologist. Website design, content creation, business cards, graphic design, email servers, networking, marketing, hosting and domain name provisioning, search engine optimization, and more.

Mobile Apps

Have an existing app? Want an app? Have an idea to pitch? Using my eye for design and mobile experience we can ship and maintain world-class applications to both the Apple and Android marketplace.

Security Consulting

A passion of mine has been getting into devices, places, and accounts that I am not supposed to be. From physical security (doors, locks, and people) to application and device security. I can do a one stop security audit and facilitate a plan to mitigate risk and exposure.
