Practical help for complex infrastructure
agh3 IT Services provides senior-level expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire. I work with small and mid-sized organizations that need a trusted partner for infrastructure and operations.
Fractional IT director
Ongoing engagement where I serve as your infrastructure lead. I own the roadmap, guide internal staff or vendors, and keep leadership informed in plain language.
Infrastructure projects
Short and medium-term projects such as virtualization rollouts, storage upgrades, network redesigns, and Microsoft 365 and Entra deployments.
Advisory and review
Independent review of existing environments, plans, or vendor proposals. You get a second set of eyes and a clear view of your options.
What I help with most often
Virtualization and storage
Design and implementation of Proxmox clusters, storage layouts, and backup strategies. Suitable for organizations moving away from aging hardware or fragile single-host setups.
Microsoft 365 and Entra
Tenant configuration, security baselines, identity and access design, and integration with existing systems. Focus on secure, manageable setups that suit real users.
Networking and firewalls
OPNsense and other firewall platforms, VPNs, and network segmentation. Reduce flat networks and accidental single points of failure.
Backup and disaster recovery
Practical backup and restore plans using tools such as Proxmox Backup Server and Synology. Clear recovery runbooks and regular test restores so you know it works.
How engagements typically work
1. Short discovery call
We discuss your environment, current pain points, and goals. If I am not the right fit I will say so directly and suggest options.
2. Assessment and plan
For projects or fractional work I perform a focused assessment and present a practical plan with risks, milestones, and estimates.
3. Delivery and steady state
I implement or guide implementation, then help your team settle into a calm, predictable operating mode.
