Datacenter-grade infrastructure, small business pricing.

I kept the servers running at Microsoft and Meta. Now I fix cloud bills, backend systems and ad budgets for businesses that cannot afford an IT department — at a price you can see before you call.

Zoom, Google Meet or phone — your pick. Or just call (804) 409-2442.

Pricing

Every price is on this page.

No discovery call to find out what it costs. Pick the one that matches your problem, or call and I will tell you which one you actually need.

Paid acquisition & conversion tracking

Most small accounts leak budget in the same three places. These find it and close it.

ADS-01Async

$350

Ad spend & waste audit

Search term reports, negative keyword leaks and broad-match budget drain, returned as a fix list you can act on.

ADS-0248-hour turnaround

$750

High-intent search campaign setup

Exact and phrase match campaigns built end to end: negative keyword banks, ad copy and bidding strategy.

ADS-03Fixed scope

$450

End-to-end conversion tracking

Google Tag Manager, server-side conversion webhooks, Stripe and checkout events, GA4 goals.

Cloud infrastructure & backend systems

Datacenter and cloud practice, pointed at whatever is costing you money or waking you up at night.

$499

Cloud architecture & cost reduction audit

Resource sprawl, oversized instances, orphaned storage and identity configuration, reviewed and costed.

INF-0345-minute live session

$250

Rapid technical triage

Online and taking payments

Domain, business email, a real website, Stripe checkout and analytics — set up, connected and handed over working.

NEW-02Async

$400

Build vs buy review

You describe the idea. I tell you what has to be custom, what to buy off the shelf instead, and what it costs to run every month.

NEW-03Fixed scope

$300

Local presence setup

Google Business Profile, maps and directory listings, and a review request flow that actually gets used.

Sprints & retainers

For work that does not end after one delivery.

Dedicated sprint day

Six focused hours of backend development, Azure deployment or tracking integration. Booked as a block.

RET-03Per month

$1,100

Infrastructure retainer

Ongoing backend maintenance, server and uptime monitoring, patching and incident response.

Refunds

If it is not worth what you paid, you get it back.

You are buying from someone you have not met yet. This is the part that should not require trust.

Audits & reviews
Full refund any time before I send the deliverable. Once it is in your inbox it is yours, so if you change your mind, say so and the money goes back.
Live sessions
Reschedule free, as many times as you need. Full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the slot.
Sprint days
Full refund up to five business days out. Inside five days it is half, because the day is already blocked off.
Retainers
Month to month. Cancel any time and the next month does not bill. The month already in progress is not refunded.

How it works

Three steps.

  1. STEP 1

    Twenty-minute call

    You describe what is broken or what is bleeding money. No pitch deck, no discovery phase.

  2. STEP 2

    Fixed quote before anything starts

    Scope and price agreed in writing. If it is on the list above, you already know the number.

  3. STEP 3

    Delivered, then you approve

    You see the work and sign off. Retainers are month to month and cancel any time.

Background

Where this came from.

Two years on the physical layer of cloud infrastructure — the racks, the power, the incidents at three in the morning. That is where you learn what actually fails, and what a bill is really made of.

Built

Two products, shipped solo.

The fastest way to judge whether someone can build your thing is to look at what they have already built.

ScriptyPointer

On-demand marketplace matching IT professionals to scoped client work.

Built solo, end to end: Stripe escrow with milestone releases and same-day payouts, AI resume parsing and skill matching, identity and background verification, dispute resolution. Live with users on both sides.

Scripty

Azure cost optimization and cloud hygiene platform.

Detects unused and over-provisioned resources, recommends safe optimizations and applies them with a rollback path. Built from watching ghost costs accumulate in production environments.
