These offerings distill my most common problem patterns into clearly scoped services. If you’re not sure which fits or need something custom, let’s talk it through.

Core Infra
Infra Audit & Roadmap
I spend one to two weeks figuring out what’s fragile, expensive, undocumented, or likely to bite you next, and hand you a written summary of the risks, priorities, and next steps.
That means a review of your architecture and configurations across cloud, metal, authentication, CI/CD, and monitoring. You’ll get prioritized recommendations and a plan you can act on, plus a 60‑minute debrief session to align on where to start.
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. And if you just need a sanity check on a complex setup, that’s a fine reason to book it.
Pricing for this service starts at $2,500 flat.
Let's Scope This Out →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.
Define Your Sprint →Resilience-as-a-Service
This monthly retainer provides ongoing advisory support and system sanity checks—think of it as lightweight, high‑trust infrastructure insurance.
The base retainer at $1,000 per month includes email support (best‑effort response during business hours, typically next business day), a monthly check‑in, and strategic advisory. Need more? On‑call coverage, incident response, curated vulnerability/CVE feeds tuned to your stack, and on‑site work are available as add‑ons — scoped and priced in your agreement, and subject to availability. Retainers with added scope typically run $2,500 per month and up.
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.
Let's Talk Tiers →Business & Strategy
OSPO++ Kickstart
A 30-day engagement to stand up the basics of an open source program without hiring full-time OSPO staff. Aimed at Series A–C companies building on or contributing to open source that aren’t ready for dedicated personnel.
Depending on where your program actually is, that can include an open source strategy, a license policy, contributor guidelines, an InnerSource plan, a governance model, tooling setup (GitHub/GitLab configuration, license scanning, security policies), and team training. There’s no one‑size‑fits‑all here — we define the exact scope and price together during planning, and pick the pieces your program actually needs rather than manufacturing a binder full of policies nobody will use.
Pricing starts at $8,500 flat for the 30-day engagement.
Launch Your OSPO →Emergency Preparedness Assessment
A focused review of how your organization communicates and keeps running when normal systems fail. It covers your communications setup (radio, cellular and network failover, backup-power dependencies), where the single points of failure are, and what to fix first.
You get a written assessment and a prioritized roadmap with rough implementation timelines. Where the work touches licensed or regulated systems, I’ll flag what needs an authorized provider rather than imply I’ll handle it myself.
Pricing starts at $4,500 flat.
Assess Your Preparedness →Bedford Business Tech Health Check
A deliberately bounded way to start. For $1,500, we do a focused review of one infrastructure problem, system, or environment — you pick the thing that’s bothering you most, and I don’t try to boil your whole estate for that price.
You get a defined review of that one problem, a short written assessment, the three to five things I’d fix first in priority order, and a working session to go through them together. If the problem turns out to need deeper work, you’ll leave knowing what a larger architecture, migration, compliance, or implementation engagement should contain — and roughly what it’s for — before you spend more.
Cloud cost, security posture, or a vendor question can be the one thing you point it at; they aren’t all bundled into a single $1,500 review. Sliding scale available for nonprofits and community organizations.
More context on the Bedford & Route 128 page.
Check Your Tech Health →Cloud Cost Surgery
A rapid-turnaround engagement to find and cut wasteful cloud spend. I go through your AWS/Azure/GCP bill and actual utilization, and identify unused and oversized resources, reserved-instance and commitment opportunities, and the architectural changes that would genuinely lower the bill.
You get a prioritized list of what to cut or resize and what each item is worth, so you can decide what’s justified. How much you save depends on how much waste is there to start with — I won’t put a percentage on it before looking.
Pricing starts at $3,500 flat.
Stop The Bleeding →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.
Pricing starts at $750 flat.
Get Inbox Peace →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.
Discuss Hosting Options →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.
