## FAQ

### Do you work remotely or onsite?
Both. A lot of IT support — and all custom application development — I handle remotely. When something needs hands on the hardware (networking, a new build-out, onsite troubleshooting), I come to you. We figure out which makes the most sense for your situation.

### What areas do you serve?
Onsite work is based in central Illinois. Remote support and app development I provide well beyond that — distance isn’t a barrier for anything that doesn’t need me physically on site.

### How much do you charge?
Business IT services are $180/hour with a one-hour minimum. Residential IT services are $100/hour with a one-hour minimum. Custom application development is quoted per project, since scope varies — reach out and I’ll give you a straight answer.

### How quickly do you respond?
Fast — often the same day. If I can fix your issue remotely I’ll get on it right away; if it needs an onsite visit, I work to schedule it promptly.

### What kinds of clients do you work with?
Both businesses and homeowners — from a single household or home office up to larger operations setting up networks, servers, and security across a building.

### Do you handle security?
Yes. Beyond everyday IT, I hold offensive-security certifications (OSCP and Certified Red Team Operator) on top of CompTIA A+, Network+, and IT Operations Specialist — so firewalls, hardening, and security work are in genuinely capable hands.

### Can you build custom software or apps?
Yes. I build custom applications that turn manual, paper-and-pen processes into software that fits how you actually work — practical tools built around your workflow, not the other way around.

### How do I get started?
Call or email — those are the fastest ways to reach me. Tell me what you’re running into and I’ll point you in the right direction.
