For Small Business Owners
If you run a business in Tampa or Lakeland, FL (or want remote help), this page is for you. I mostly work with enterprise clients—but I also help smaller shops cut SaaS waste, keep data on gear they control, and ship websites and Linux servers without handing everything to BigTech.
What I can help with
Cloud & SaaS costs
Audit the stack, find unused seats and overbuilt cloud, and right-size—or move workloads off the expensive plan entirely.
- Cut monthly subscriptions you barely use
- Move suitable workloads to a simple server instead of cloud markup
- Clear recommendations: keep, shrink, or replace
Your data, on your gear
Move files, passwords, and camera footage off someone else’s SaaS and onto hardware you own—in your building, under your control.
- Nextcloud — your own Drive/Dropbox on your server
- Bitwarden — team password management you host
- Security cameras & NVR — own the footage, no monthly cloud DVR fee
Private AI
Use AI where it helps day-to-day work—without pasting customer data, contracts, and internal docs into someone else’s model.
- Practical AI in your existing workflow
- Local / private AI on your own hardware
- AI features on a site or app you already run
Websites
Design, build, and improve sites that are fast, accessible, and easy to maintain—from a fresh build to incremental fixes on what you already have, with coding agents in the loop for scaffolding, refactors, and review when they earn their keep.
- GoTonight.com — live music event search engine covering multiple Florida markets; sole developer and operator for 15+ years (ColdFusion/Java, MSSQL, jQuery; fuzzy event/artist dedup; layered anti-abuse and Google Maps geocoding)
- WordPress site for professional musician Justin Nurin
Linux servers
Stand up or take over a Linux box—on-site or on DigitalOcean or any other hosting provider or CDN—and keep it running.
- Install and maintain self-hosted apps
- Automated backups
- Ongoing remote admin and monitoring when something breaks
What I don’t do
- Windows PCs or Windows Server
- Microsoft 365 (Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive)
- Website content updates or copywriting
- SEO
How it works
Project or hourly (time & materials)—no long-term contract required. You pay for what you need.
Tampa and Lakeland clients can get on-site visits; most ongoing support is remote.
