I work with different companies to strengthen their existing IT infrastructure and provide insight into the direction that they might take to scale for future needs. I assess the overall areas of risk and future goals to be met while maintaining a sense of frugality and implement a transition plan to get from point A to point B while minimizing the impact that this has on their current operations.
