Now offering personal cybersecurity setup for journalists, stalking victims and others. DM me or use the "Contact Us" page on the FIFO Networks website. It's only me. You'll be communicating directly with me.

Most of my income: network and cybersecurity projects for public utilities.
Most of my time: IT services by the hour for companies too small to have an in-house IT staff, including SOHO businesses and residential.
I also unlock computers and do data recovery and account recovery for people when a loved one dies. (Advice: keep paying their cell phone bill until you've got all their data back, and if they used a smartwatch, keep it charged and ready).

Cybersecurity assistance: policy, design, implementation, training.
Training at all levels for IT and RF engineers and technicians.
Expert witness services in cases involving data or wireless networks.
Crisis resolution.
