Sydney-Based IT Expert Delivering Reliable
IT Services, Consulting & Support Australia-Wide
Work directly with a trusted IT professional who is available when you need support, with flexible pay-as-you-go pricing entirely on your terms.
About Me
I'm Jace, a Sydney-based IT consultant with over 30 years of experience.
I help businesses with IT support, Microsoft 365, cloud, AI, and cybersecurity services without the cost and complexity of a large IT provider. You'll deal directly with me, receive clear advice, and only pay for the expertise you need.
I work remotely with businesses across Australia using secure support tools and can provide on-site support for clients across Sydney when required.
Why Work With Me?
Large IT providers often come with account managers, ticket queues, and multiple layers of communication that increase costs and slow things down.
I take a simpler approach. You work directly with a senior IT professional who understands your environment, responds quickly, and delivers practical, cost-effective solutions tailored to your business.
No lock-in contracts. No hidden fees. No upselling. Just reliable support, honest advice, and flexible pay-as-you-go service.

How we work together
I follow a structured methodology to ensure consistent, high-quality outcomes across all projects and client engagements.
Initial Consultation (Free of Charge)
We discuss your needs, business challenges, budget, goals, pain points with your current IT, and anything on your wish list.
Assessment & Planning
I review your systems, security, performance, and workflows to identify risks, gaps, and opportunities. Where needed, I request read-only access to your IT environment, completely safe and non-disruptive. From there, you get a clear roadmap with practical recommendations aligned to your objectives and budget.
Implementation
Detailed plan, your approval, scheduled execution. I manage procurement, configuration, integration, and testing, either independently or working alongside your team and vendors.
Ongoing Support
Once everything is in place, I can hand it over to you or your team, or provide ongoing support to keep your systems secure, reliable, and optimized. Ad-hoc or fully managed, depending on your needs. I handle monitoring, maintenance, updates, and troubleshooting, and remain available for strategic guidance whenever you need it.
