Thirty-four engagements,
scoped honestly,
priced in conversation.
Advisory at the executive level, engineering across the stack, and the network we've operated since 2011. Each engagement is shaped to the work — not the other way around.
Fractional leadership for the quarters that matter.
Senior leadership inside your weekly cadence — not on retainer forever. We embed for the hard quarter, then step out cleanly.
Fractional CTO
Senior technology leadership for the quarters that matter most — architecture calls, hiring strategy, and the bets your team is too close to make. We embed with your leadership, not your tooling.
Fractional COO
Operational leadership for the quarter your business is growing faster than its operating model. We tighten the org, sequence the work, and hand back something your next hire can actually run.
Fractional CIO
IT leadership that thinks past the ticket queue. Vendor decisions, security posture, and the budget your CFO needs to see before next year.
Executive Coaching
One-on-one coaching for technology leaders who don't have a peer in the room. Honest reads, prepared questions, and the perspective the title doesn't come with.
Operational Transformation
Reshaping how the work moves through your org — not just renaming the meetings. We start where the friction actually lives and work outward.
The decisions before the build.
Where the gaps are, where AI fits, and which partner is worth signing. The thinking that pays for itself the next time you sign a contract.
AI Strategy
Where AI fits in your stack, what to build, what to buy, what to skip. The plan a senior engineer would write — scoped honestly against your team's footprint.
Technology Assessments
An outside read on the systems you've been too busy to audit. Risk, fitness, and the three things that should change this quarter — written for the CFO and the engineer.
MSP Evaluation and Selection
We've worked with the providers you're considering — and the ones you should be. Independent shortlists, contract review, and an honest take on what 'managed' actually means with each.
Hands-on builders, not slide-deck architects.
The engineers writing the design are the ones on call when it breaks. Production-grade work across software, network, and the racks beneath both.
Software Development
Production-grade builds for the systems your team is going to live with for years. We staff the work and ship it — not just architect it.
Network Architecture and Engineering
Design, review, and hands-on implementation. The same engineers writing the design are the ones who pick up the phone when a route flaps.
Customized Infrastructure Solutions
Bare-metal builds, hybrid layouts, or turnkey racks — shaped around how your team actually operates. For the workloads the hyperscaler price list doesn't quite cover.
Linux Engineering
Senior Linux sysadmin and engineering — kernel tuning, systemd quirks, and the patch policy that keeps your fleet boring on Mondays. We work in the shell your team already lives in.
DevOps
CI/CD that ships, infrastructure-as-code that holds together, and an on-call rotation an engineer can actually live with. We build the pipeline with your team, then walk them through running it.
Custom Server Deployments
Bare-metal spec, procurement, and deployment for GPU clusters, storage servers, and edge appliances. We have shipped from a single 1U through 40U-plus buildouts.
The network we operate ourselves.
AS54098 since 2011 — BGP transit, dedicated access, point-to-point, and a VPN built around the way real teams need to egress. Priced like infrastructure, run by the engineers who designed it.
IP Transit (BGP)
Full BGP transit on AS54098 with direct peering at Hurricane Electric and transit through GTT into the rest of the Tier-1 fabric. Bring your own ASN and prefixes — we handle the policy and the on-call.
Direct Internet Access (DIA)
Dedicated internet handoff with a clean SLA and an engineer who actually reads it. Ports sized to the work, not to the marketing tier.
Specialized Network Services
Point-to-point circuits, L2VPN, and the odd cross-connect that doesn't have a marketing page. Built for the architectures vendors push back on.
DDoS Mitigation
Traffic scrubbing and BGP-level filtering on AS54098 for the floods that don't politely stop. We design the runbook in advance so the 3 a.m. version isn't a first draft.
Anycast DNS
Authoritative DNS served from a network we run ourselves, with anycast presence at the locations that matter. For the records you can't afford to lose during a registrar incident.
24/7 NOC
Eyes on your network around the clock, run by the engineers who write the runbooks. Pages routed to humans, not a ticket queue — for incidents that need a real person at 3 a.m.
LionLink PantheraSecure
A WireGuard-based VPN with a dedicated public IPv4 we route specifically to you. For teams whose vendors still allowlist by IP — and the engineers who need a clean egress.
Multi-cloud, hybrid, and the rack behind both.
We pick the shape that fits your team — not the one that wins the conference talk. Migrations that land, colocation that holds, desktops that travel.
Cloud Consulting
Multi-cloud, hybrid, P2V migrations, and cloud-to-cloud network architecture. We tell you which one your stack actually needs — and which one to walk away from.
Cloud Migrations
Lift-and-shift, refactor, cloud-to-cloud, and repatriation across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, IBM, DigitalOcean, Vultr, and Akamai Cloud (Linode). We plan the cutover with the network already in our control.
Cloud Computing
Managed cloud workloads across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, IBM, DigitalOcean, Vultr, and Akamai Cloud (Linode) — or hosted on our own colocation footprint when the math says repatriate. Designed and run by senior operators.
Virtualization
Proxmox, VMware, OpenStack, and bare-metal KVM. We design the cluster, the storage layer, and the network fabric — and we say plainly which platform fits your team.
Virtual Desktops
VDI and session-based desktops for distributed teams. Pinned to a region, hardened for compliance, and managed without renting another seat from someone else's portal.
Data Center Colocation
Carrier-neutral colocation with the network already terminated. Tier III facilities, HIPAA-ready environments, and an engineer to point at the cage.
Data Center Consulting
Site selection, colocation evaluation, power and carrier mix, migration and exit planning. We have toured the room and read the SLAs.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Replication, restore drills, and the RTO/RPO numbers your business can actually defend to a board. Designed with the network paths and DR sites already in mind.
Controls that survive contact with the network.
The boring parts that decide whether the system makes production. Paired with operators who understand the network the controls run on.
Cybersecurity Consulting
Architecture review, control-gap analysis, and incident readiness — paired with operators who understand the network the controls run on. We tell you which fixes are real and which are theater.
Security Architecture Review
A structured read of how identity, network, and data controls actually fit together — not how the policy says they should. We surface the gaps before a real attacker, or an auditor, does.
Penetration Testing
Hands-on adversarial testing of the systems your team relies on. We report what we found, how we got in, and what to fix first — in language an engineer can act on.
Compliance Readiness
Mapping your environment to the controls auditors actually check, and closing the gaps before the audit window opens. We've sat on both sides of that table.
Vulnerability Scanning and Mitigation
Continuous scanning of the surfaces your attackers see first, plus the prioritization to fix what actually matters. We tell you which CVEs are noise and which are about to land on the front page.
