Core Infra

🚫 Infra Audit & Roadmaqp

This engagement consists of a one‑ to two‑week deep dive into your existing infrastructure, culminating in a written summary of risks, priorities, and next steps.

Included in the audit is a review of your architecture and configurations across cloud, metal, authentication, CI/CD, and monitoring. You’ll receive prioritized recommendations alongside a clear, actionable roadmap. Finally, we’ll have a 60‑minute debrief session to align on next steps.

Teams inheriting legacy systems often benefit from an outside perspective that still gives them a clear playbook. Organizations planning migrations can turn vague goals into concrete plans. Anyone who needs a sanity check on a complex setup will find this engagement invaluable.

Pricing for this service starts at $2,500 flat.

🚧 Migration Sprint

This is a scoped, fixed‑bid engagement designed to take you from “we need to migrate” to “it’s done.” Common examples include CentOS 7 → Rocky Linux rollouts, FreeIPA/OIDC deployments, and replatforming Terraform, Ansible, or Pulumi setups.

You’ll get detailed planning, hands‑on implementation, full documentation, and an optional post‑deploy support window. Final pricing depends on project complexity, with typical engagements starting at $5,000.

🛡️ Resilience-as-a-Service

This monthly retainer provides ongoing advisory support and system sanity checks—think of it as lightweight, high‑trust infrastructure insurance.

At $1,000 per month, you receive email support, a monthly check‑in, and strategic advisory. At $2,500 per month and up, you also get a limited on‑call window and proactive CVE monitoring.

Small teams running critical infrastructure and solo developers with production anxiety will sleep better at night. Nonprofits and co‑ops will appreciate the predictable, flat‑rate model.

Business & Strategy

⚙️ OSPO++ Kickstart

This 30-day engagement establishes your open source program office foundation without the overhead of full-time OSPO staff. Perfect for Series A-C companies building on or contributing to open source but not ready for dedicated personnel.

You’ll get open source strategy development, license policy creation, contributor guidelines, InnerSource program design, and community governance frameworks. Includes tooling setup (GitHub/GitLab configurations, license scanning, security policies) and team training on open source best practices.

Growing technology companies, biotech firms using open source research tools, and organizations preparing for foundation donations will accelerate their open source maturity without the enterprise complexity.

Pricing starts at $8,500 flat for the complete 30-day kickstart.

⚠️ Emergency Preparedness Assessment

This comprehensive engagement evaluates your organization’s readiness for disasters and disruptions, covering everything from communication systems to business continuity planning.

Includes emergency communications audit (radio networks, backup systems), business continuity gap analysis, disaster recovery coordination, staff training needs assessment, and regulatory compliance review. You’ll receive a detailed preparedness roadmap with prioritized recommendations and implementation timelines.

Manufacturing companies, healthcare organizations, technology firms with distributed teams, and any business serious about operational resilience will benefit from this thorough preparedness evaluation.

Pricing starts at $4,500 flat for the complete assessment and roadmap.

🏥 Bedford Business Tech Health Check

This focused engagement provides growing Bedford-area businesses with an affordable infrastructure assessment tailored to local market needs and constraints.

Covers technology infrastructure review, cloud cost analysis, security posture evaluation, growth planning, and vendor relationship assessment. Designed specifically for businesses building their presence in the Route 128 corridor who need strategic guidance without enterprise-level complexity.

Local professional services, small manufacturing companies, healthcare practices, and growing startups will get actionable recommendations that fit their budget and timeline.

Pricing starts at $1,500 flat, with sliding scale options for nonprofits and community organizations.

💸 Cloud Cost Surgery

This rapid-turnaround engagement identifies and eliminates wasteful cloud spending through detailed analysis and right-sizing recommendations.

Includes complete AWS/Azure/GCP bill analysis, resource utilization review, reserved instance optimization, unused service identification, and architectural recommendations for cost reduction. Most clients see 25-40% monthly cost reductions within 30 days.

Companies experiencing cloud bill shock, rapidly growing startups burning through runway on infrastructure, and organizations migrating from on-premise who underestimated cloud costs will see immediate ROI.

Pricing starts at $3,500 flat, typically paying for itself in the first month of savings.

Lightweight Support

Lightweight Support is best for small orgs, collectives, and side projects that need sanity, not enterprise bloat.

📩 Email & DNS Wrangling

I set up or migrate your organization’s email provider and DNS records with precision and reliability. This includes domain configuration, SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup and testing, and documentation so the next person isn’t left guessing.

Most small orgs and side projects find this a quick way to regain control over their mail flow without enterprise bloat.

Pricing starts at $750 flat.

☁️ Low-Drama Hosting (Beta)

I provide minimalist, human‑scale hosting for small organizations and weird side projects. This isn’t a VC‑backed platform—it’s just hosting that works. By invitation or referral only.

You can host static sites, email, DNS, or lightweight tools like Nextcloud, Discourse, Mastodon, and Matrix—provided you behave.

Pricing ranges from $25 to $75 per month and up depending on complexity.

Build & Release

📦 RPM Packaging & Build Pipelines

I deliver clean, reproducible RPM packages for Rocky, Fedora, RHEL, and similar ecosystems, complete with automation pipelines you won’t hate.

This includes creating or refactoring spec files, setting up build automation via Koji, COPR, or GitHub Actions, optional signing pipelines, and clear documentation with reusable scripts.

Teams maintaining internal or public RPM repos, projects shipping to enterprise systems, and infrastructure folks tired of hand‑building .rpms all benefit from this service.

Simple packaging engagements start at $1,500 flat, while complex or multi‑package workflows begin at $3,000.
