Path · Security, Data & Recovery

Ready for the bad day before it comes.

Access you can audit, backups you have actually restored, and written policy the team follows.

Sound familiar?

Where these projects usually start.

We have backups. We’ve never restored one.

Nobody is sure who still has access.

Our recovery plan is a document nobody has read.

What I do

Security, Data & Recovery, start to finish.

Identity & access

Single sign-on and enforced MFA, role-based permissions an IT team can run, least-privilege service accounts and zero-trust admin access.

Disaster recovery

Recovery policies, including for media and digital-asset environments: tiered backups, immutable offsite copies, scheduled restore tests.

Data lakes & migrations

Moving and protecting large data sets across object storage, file systems and public cloud.

Policy & runbooks

Written policy and operational runbooks that keep a system operable after handover.

Open source · Data lakes (S3) · ZFS · Ceph · Public cloud

How we’d start

No price list. A conversation first.

  1. A conversationThirty minutes about what you’re trying to build or fix, and whether I’m the right fit.
  2. ScopingA written plan with an estimate and an architecture sketch.
  3. The buildA fixed-scope project or ongoing hours, with progress you can see.
  4. Ongoing supportHosting, maintenance and on-call, or a clean handover.
Next step

Review your recovery plan.

Tell me what you’re working on. I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right fit and what a first step looks like.
