nsiip.caWhat I build today
AWS setups, private microservices and automatic failover, so your operations never freeze.
Your workflows, AI agents and customer data live in your own cloud accounts. Never shared, never trapped.
Web and mobile tools in React, Node.js and Python that plug into the software you already run.
Local servers, encrypted storage and clean networking that work without daily IT calls.
Two-step sign-in, backups and access rules set up the way regulated systems are, sized for a small team.
Health checks and alerts, so problems are found and fixed before your customers notice.
How I work
01
I look at what you run today and find the single points of failure.
02
A plain-language plan: what changes, what it costs, what it protects.
03
Built, tested and documented, with a 15-day unconditional warranty.
04
Monitored and cared for, the way a toll lane is: every hour of every day.
