Enterprise-grade systems for real-world organizations
I am Andrew G. Hargreave, III. For close to thirty years I have designed, built, and supported infrastructure that keeps businesses running when everything else is noisy.
Typical work includes Proxmox clusters, Microsoft 365 and Entra deployments, secure networking, and backup and recovery that actually restores.
Hiring a leader or a consulting partner
Most visitors fall into one of two groups. Choose the route that fits you so you can get to what you need quickly.
Leadership and career background
If you are looking for a senior IT infrastructure leader, this is where you will find a clear view of my experience as a manager, director, and technical lead.
- Team leadership
- Budget and vendor management
- Modernization projects
Consulting and project work
If you need help stabilizing or improving your environment, or want a trusted partner who can own your infrastructure roadmap, you are in the right place.
- Fractional IT director
- Project delivery
- Ongoing support
What working with me looks like
Practical, direct, and focused on results. Less jargon, fewer surprises, more stability.
Depth and range
From Proxmox, storage, and virtualization to Microsoft 365, identity, and secure networking, I work across the stack. I am as comfortable in the rack as I am in the boardroom.
Plain language
I translate technical risk and opportunity into clear decisions for non-technical stakeholders. You get honest tradeoffs, not hand waving.
Bias toward reliability
New tools are fine. Stable systems are better. My priority is uptime, predictability, and a clear recovery story when something goes wrong.
