About

Hi, I'm Mell.

I'm an IT professional and consultant with hands-on experience across systems administration, cloud infrastructure, IT strategy, and software development. I help businesses cut through the noise, modernize their technology, and build systems that actually work for them.

Whether you're a small business that's never had real IT support, a growing company that needs a technology roadmap, or an organization facing a specific technical challenge — I bring the expertise of an in-house IT team without the overhead of a full-time hire.
