Studio Chibi IT for small business

Every business needs someone
responsible for IT.

I'm a developer and systems administrator who works with small businesses — the kind that depend on technology but aren't big enough to justify a full-time IT department. I handle the infrastructure so your team can focus on the work.

The problem

Small businesses run on systems no one is clearly responsible for.

IT falls to whoever's available

When something breaks, the person who handles it is whoever is least busy — not whoever knows how to fix it. Decisions get made under pressure by the wrong person.

The person who set it up is gone

A consultant built it and moved on. An employee who handled IT left the company. The knowledge left with them, and now no one is sure how anything fits together.

It worked fine — until it didn't

The setup that was good enough for three people starts showing cracks at eight. Nobody planned for that, and now the band-aids are stacking up.

Nobody's watching

Backups haven't been tested. Patches are months behind. The firewall is running the default config. You only find out when something goes wrong.

What I do

Full responsibility, not just the easy parts.

I take ongoing ownership of responsibility for the infrastructure — not just a one-time setup and walkaway. That means I know your environment, and I'm the one you call when something goes wrong.

  • Server administration

    Linux and Windows Server — setup, maintenance, and ongoing management.

  • Network setup & maintenance

    Firewalls, VPNs, routing, and day-to-day network reliability.

  • Development & automation

    Scripts and small applications to eliminate manual, repetitive work. If your business runs on custom software, we can discuss that too.

  • On-call support

    Someone to call when something breaks — who already knows your setup and doesn't need to be briefed from scratch.

Why me?

One person. Fully accountable. No getting passed around.

Most IT services are sized for businesses bigger than yours — tiers, contracts, and account managers you have to re-brief every time something changes. Here it's simpler: one person learns your environment and stays with it. The continuity is the whole value.

Location is not a constraint. I work with clients wherever they are — time zones are a scheduling detail, not a barrier.

Contact

How working together starts.

It starts with a conversation — what you're running, and more importantly, what you're trying to achieve. Your goals set the priorities; the tech serves them, not the other way around. No sales pitch, no long contract. Just a look at where you are and where you want to go.

Not sure where to start?
That's what the first conversation is for.
