Reliable IT for small businesses in Valais.
DevOps engineer based in Chalais, I help small businesses put their infrastructure in order: cloud, backups, servers and security. Over ten years of experience running Linux in production.
Let’s talk about your projectFor businesses
You don’t need an IT department to have a serious infrastructure. I step in for a specific project or for occasional support.
Cloud
Choosing a solution that fits your size, migrating to it without needless downtime, and keeping the bill under control.
Backups
Automatic, off-site and tested backups, so you can get back on your feet quickly after a failure or a ransomware attack.
Linux servers
Installation, upgrades and troubleshooting on every distribution, with particular expertise in Debian and Ubuntu. Automated with Ansible, for reliable and reproducible deployments.
Email and passwords
Protecting your domain name against spoofing and phishing (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and a shared password manager for the whole team.
Network and remote access
A firewall, separate guest Wi-Fi, and a VPN to work from home or connect several sites, without exposing your machines to the Internet.
Security
A review of your systems, server hardening, access management and a concrete action plan, in order of priority. Training your staff to recognise phishing and adopt good habits.
For individuals
For your ambitious tech projects. For everyday troubleshooting, like a temperamental printer, a local repair shop will be a better fit.
Home automation
A connected home that stays in your home, with Home Assistant.
Personal backups
Keep your photos and documents safe, with a NAS or an encrypted cloud backup.
Private phone
A smartphone running GrapheneOS, ready to use, to protect your privacy.
Coming soon
Drone video
Aerial footage to showcase a place, highlight an estate or document a construction site, anywhere in Valais.
This service will open as soon as I obtain my pilot certificate. In the meantime, my first flights are on my YouTube channel.
Every flight is planned according to Swiss regulations: airspace, permits and respect for privacy. If a project cannot be done legally, I will tell you straight away.
Secure by default
Every installation is hardened and kept up to date from day one, not as an afterthought.
Open source first
Proven, open tools, with no vendor lock-in.
Everything documented
You get everything you need to stay in control of your systems.
One point of contact
You talk directly to the person doing the work.
Fees
Short interventions are billed by the hour. For a project, we first define your needs, then I offer you a fixed price and a written scope. If your system is poorly documented, I start with an assessment.
Prices in Swiss francs, VAT not applicable.
