You talk to me.
I build your system.
I'm Nick Janes. For a decade at Cisco, I was the "figure it out" person. Not officially. Just the guy people came to when something was broken and nobody knew how to fix it.
"Go ask Nick. He'll figure it out." I heard that a lot. Colleagues, friends, family. Everyone brought me their problems. Broken workflows. Tools that didn't connect. Systems that made no sense. I'd read the documentation, learn the technology, and build whatever they needed.
When I left corporate, I kept doing the same thing, just for small businesses instead of coworkers. That became iGeekuPlay, which was really just me figuring things out for people. Over time, I noticed a pattern: the problems were almost always operational. Disconnected tools. Fragile automations. Systems built without architecture.
OpsWork is that experience focused. I design and build the operational infrastructure small teams actually need. No middlemen, no handoffs. I diagnose the problem, architect the solution, build it, document it, and train your team.
If your systems are held together with duct tape and good intentions, I can help.
How I work
Understand before building.
We map your systems and diagnose the real problem before writing any code. The first step is always clarity.
No middlemen.
You work directly with senior operators. No sales-to-PM-to-contractor telephone game. The people scoping your project are the ones building it.
Build it right the first time.
Cutting corners on infrastructure means paying twice. We take the time to do it properly so you don't have to redo it later.
You own everything.
Full documentation. Trained team. No vendor lock-in. When we're done, you can run and maintain it yourself.
