Boutique consulting services for organizations that want both
Hi, I'm Q!
I bring over 25 years of technological expertise in DevOps, infrastructure, and technology leadership to every project I work on. I've guided organizations from 3 to 300,000 employees through their most critical technology challenges. From building great software to leading cloud transformations, let my broad experience help accelerate your project, large or small.
I have a track record of adaptability and comprehensive experience that allows me to quickly get comfortable in your environment and meet your needs as efficiently as possible. I stay plugged into the latest, so I can bring it to you if it's what you need, but I have the experience to know that proven often beats trendy, especially for smaller organizations.
My approach puts people before technology, focusing on social-impact missions and open-source solutions that drive real business value.
I learned how to do complex, large-scale projects working with industry-leading teams, but my favorite projects are consistently the ones where I can make a real difference for just a handful of people.
Hartkraft is more than just me, though. With my extensive connections in the tech community, I can put together a team to handle projects that require skills beyond just mine, and I have agreements in place to provide backup support for my MSP customers.
Big enough to handle your whole IT footprint, small enough to actually pick up the phone.
Same compliance bar as the big districts (FERPA, CIPA, E-Rate) with a fraction of the resources. SIS, LMS, 1:1 device programs, and the network behind them, supported by someone who's actually run school IT.
Workstations, networks, identity, backups, phones, and the cloud services that hold it all together. Practical IT decisions that scale with you instead of locking you in.
IT support that respects your budget and your mission. Documentation and processes that don't depend on any one person, including me.
Leverage my start-up and Enterprise experience to help you make good decisions from the beginning.
Like the enduring peaks of the Rockies, my technology solutions are built to last. I bring the same reliability and strength that defines Colorado's landscape to every project I undertake.
My approach combines the pioneering spirit of the American West with cutting-edge technology practices, creating solutions that are both innovative and dependable.
Throughout my career, I've worked across public education, higher education, non-profits, and private businesses, serving in roles from sysadmin to VP of Infrastructure. This broad experience provides a unique foundation for understanding both technical and business challenges. I can get my hands deep into the tech, and make sure everyone understands what's going on while it's happening.
