About me
I'm a Sydney-based independent IT contractor with more than 30 years of experience helping businesses solve technology challenges, strengthen security, and maximise the value of their IT investments.
When you work with me, you'll deal directly with me from start to finish. No account managers, no call centres, and no ticket queues. Just clear advice, fast response times, and practical solutions from someone who understands your environment and is genuinely invested in your success.
I work remotely using secure access and collaboration tools, supporting businesses across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and New Zealand. Most work is delivered remotely, but I am available for on-site visits throughout the Sydney metropolitan area when required.
Clients often describe me as friendly, agile, responsive, and easy to work with. I quickly get up to speed, develop a deep understanding of your business and technology environment, and start delivering value from day one.
My goal is simple: to become your trusted IT expert and long-term technology partner, providing reliable advice, easy-to-use IT solutions, and ongoing support that helps your business operate securely, efficiently, and with confidence.
What I do
Support, advice and hands-on delivery — engage me for one task or ongoing help, whatever suits you.
Responsive, practical support that keeps your computers, email, internet and business systems working reliably — so technology helps your business grow, not slow it down.
Honest, plain-English advice so you invest with confidence and avoid expensive mistakes — the right technology for your size and budget.
Designed, built and handed over properly — with everything documented so your team can take it from there. Senior expertise for exactly as long as the project needs.
Get the most out of Microsoft 365 — set up properly and kept secure, so your team can work together from anywhere, on any device.
Run the systems your business depends on in Microsoft's cloud — a secure, dependable foundation that grows with you, without the cost of maintaining your own servers.
The AI assistant built into the apps your team already uses — rolled out safely, so you get real time savings instead of confusion, with your data kept private.
Give your team a secure, full Windows desktop from anywhere, on any device — without buying, managing or replacing physical PCs.
Enterprise-grade app and desktop delivery for demanding, distributed teams — the high-performance, secure access larger organisations rely on.
A rock-solid foundation for the systems your business runs on — reliable servers, secure identity, and disciplined, ITIL-aligned operations.
Every laptop and phone secured, standardised and ready to work — centrally managed from day one, so new starters are productive in minutes.
As a Microsoft Partner with agreements across major IT vendors, I can advise on licensing and supply software, cloud and hardware — often at a discount.
However and wherever your business works, I fit around you — not the other way around.
Got a team or office in another country? I can support your staff and systems overseas, not just here in Australia and New Zealand.
When an upgrade or change could disrupt your working day, I'll do the work after hours or on weekends so your business keeps running.
I set up home offices and support your team so everyone can work from home comfortably, securely, and without the tech headaches.
Who I help
From MSPs and enterprises to startups and small businesses — engaged only when it makes sense for you.
White-label and subcontracted delivery under your brand and NDA. Overflow capacity or specialist skills, without adding headcount. Your clients see your name — I do the work.
A dependable contracting resource for project-based or temporary placements. Available on daily or hourly terms so you can fill client roles fast, with the work done right.
Senior expertise to lead critical projects, bridge capability gaps or extend your team — enterprise-grade delivery without the cost or commitment of a permanent hire.
Specialist skills and extra capacity — whether you have an internal team that needs backup or no IT function at all. Engaged only when you need it.
Flexible, on-demand IT that scales with you — no full-time salaries, no long-term contracts. You build the business; I keep the technology running underneath it.
Don't see your industry? It doesn't matter. If your business runs on technology, I can help — fast, direct, and with no overhead.
How we work together
The same reliable methodology on every engagement, from first call to ongoing support.
We discuss your goals, challenges, budget and any pain points with your current IT — at no charge.
I review your systems, security and workflows (safe, read-only access) and give you a clear roadmap and budget.
With your approval, I handle procurement, configuration, integration and testing — solo or alongside your team.
Hand it over to your team, or keep me on for monitoring, maintenance and strategic advice — ad-hoc or fully managed.

Challenge: A professional-services firm needed secure remote access for 200+ staff during rapid growth.
Solution: Citrix Virtual Apps & Desktops with central management, MFA and advanced security — any device, anywhere.
What clients say
"Jace has been our go-to IT consultant for over three years. His response time is incredible, and he solves problems our previous provider would take days to address. The direct communication makes all the difference."
"As a startup, we needed flexible IT support that could scale with us. Jace set up our initial infrastructure and helped us navigate our first major growth phase. His expertise saved us from costly mistakes."
"We brought Jace in for a critical cloud migration our internal team wasn't equipped to handle. He delivered on time and under budget — and transferred knowledge so we could maintain it ourselves."
