Hi, I'm -G. By day I write .NET backends I can't show you. After hours I help small businesses with everything else: IT advice, websites, webshop moves, servers, and the data mess in between.

My day job is APIs, services and the data underneath them: the kind of code nobody notices until it breaks. I like making sure it doesn't.
Outside work I help small companies with whatever their tech needs that month. Sometimes that's advice: what to buy, what to fix, what to stop paying for. Sometimes it's a new website, moving a webshop to UNAS, cleaning up a database that grew wild, or setting up the server in the back room. Same care, smaller scale, fewer meetings.
Offline I'm a Ravenclaw who crochets, plays too many puzzle games, and is unreasonably proud of my brownies. If you want to talk C#, backups or yarn, write to me.

PITFALL: The only admin password is on a sticky note under the keyboard.
STEPS
PITFALL: RAID is not a backup. Say it with me.
Got a website to build, a webshop to move, or a server making a weird noise? Write me a few lines. The duck reads every email first. It's a very good listener.
