Background

I spent over 15 years in enterprise infrastructure at Presidio and Sentinel Technologies. I designed networks for Fortune 500 companies. Multi-site deployments. Defense-in-depth security architectures. The kind of engineering work that enterprises pay premium rates for.

I started Third Level IT because growing businesses need that same caliber of engineering. They don't need a help desk. They don't need junior techs following scripts. They need an engineer who's done this work at scale.

When I work with a client, I do the work myself. I assess the environment. I design the architecture. I implement the controls. I prepare for the audit. No handoffs. No account managers. Just the engineer who built your infrastructure answering your questions.

Why Boutique Consulting

I could be managing a team at a larger firm. Instead, I chose to work directly with clients who need real expertise. When you hire an engineer from a 50-person MSP, you get whoever's available that day. When you work with me, you get me.

Growing businesses don't have time for the MSP runaround. They need someone who can assess their environment, design the architecture, and implement it right. That's what I do.
