Tech Consulting – home and business
- Home setups or small business operations
- Stuck in decision paralysis over new gear?
- Overpaying for crap you don’t need?
I cut through the marketing noise: what actually solves your problem, what’s future-proof-ish, and what’s landfill in 18 months. Budget-aware recommendations, second opinions on quotes, or full “what should my tech stack look like?” audits.

Fixing and optimising PCs and gadgets
Slow, crashing, or just annoying?
I diagnose hardware/software gremlins, clean up bloat, upgrade what makes sense (SSD/RAM swaps that actually breathe life back in), and get you running smoother. On-site Sydney area or remote where possible. No “format and reinstall” as first resort.

Assistance and guidance in buying and using PCs and gadgets
Help picking laptops, desktops, phones, tablets, printers, NAS, routers – whatever. I focus on your real use case (not specs wankery), total cost of ownership, and avoiding planned-obsolescence traps. Then I set it up securely and teach you the bits you actually care about.

Electronics board-level repairs
- Dead power board on a premium appliance?
- Coffee spilled on a logic board?
I do component-level fixes where economical – microsoldering, cap replacements, trace repairs. Saves binning good gear or paying 3× for “replacement” from the manufacturer.

3D Printing – FDM and resin + laser etching and engraving
Custom parts, prototypes, enclosures, signage, personalised gifts/tools. One-offs or small runs. Tell me the need; I’ll advise material/process, print/engrave, and deliver. Good for tinkerers, makers, or businesses needing quick custom bits without minimum orders.

Networking, homelab, and automation
Better Wi-Fi that doesn’t drop Zoom calls, secure wired setups, self-hosted services (Plex/Nextcloud/NAS), smart home that doesn’t spy on you, or lightweight automation (Home Assistant without the vendor lock-in). I design for reliability and privacy first, because your data shouldn’t be someone else’s product.

Full device refurbishment
Laptops, desktops, tablets, phones, monitors — clean internals, replace thermal paste/pads, upgrade SSD/RAM where it gives real gains, fix common failure points (swollen batteries, worn ports, failing fans), recalibrate screens if needed. Outcome: machine runs like it’s fresh out of the box, but you keep your data/setup and avoid contributing to the e-waste mountain.
Appliance revival
Coffee machines, kettles, toasters, small kitchen gadgets, even larger stuff like vacuums or air purifiers if the fault is electronic/mechanical. Board repairs, seal replacements, descaling deep cleans, motor tweaks. If the core is sound, we make it dependable again instead of landfill.
Specialty/niche gear
Vintage audio (amps, turntables), homelab servers, pro tools, or weird one-offs that no big chain will touch. I dig into schematics, source parts (or adapt modern equivalents), and get it running stable. Good for makers, hobbyists, or businesses with legacy equipment that still pulls its weight.
Assessment-first approach
Bring/drop it in (Sydney area) or describe the symptoms/photos. I’ll tell you straight: fixable economically? Worth it vs. new? Parts availability? Rough cost/time. No pressure to proceed — you get the truth so you can decide with clear eyes. If it’s uneconomical, I’ll point you to ethical recycling options instead of stringing you along.
