About / 001
Simple, hands-on technology help.
I am a systems administrator and Linux person who builds with AI. Helioryn is how I help businesses plan, fix, and simplify their technology.
01
The short version
I have spent more than three decades in IT — Linux, systems administration, cloud infrastructure, IT management, and support. I have worked in large companies and small ones, and I still like the hands-on part best: fixing what breaks, simplifying what is messy, and building small tools that save time.
These days I build web tools with AI and keep learning the rules, regulations, and security practices that come with it. That mix is what Helioryn offers: practical systems work, AI-assisted tools, and advice from someone who still runs the systems.
No big consulting program. No junior team. Just the work that needs to get done.

A few simple rules.
These are the things that matter more than a methodology.
01
Tell the truth
If something is a bad idea, I will say so. If I am not the right person for the job, I will say that too.
02
Keep it simple
The best fix is usually the smallest one that actually works. I would rather simplify a system than add another layer.
03
Make it run
A plan is not finished until the system works and someone can operate it. I stay hands-on through the handoff.
04
Hand it over
You should not need me forever. Documentation and a clean handoff are part of the job, not an upsell.
