Somewhere along the way the infrastructure habit went physical. I’ve spent twenty-odd years keeping systems alive at the software and network layer — lately I’ve been going a lot deeper, down to the board itself. Microsoldering, component-level diagnosis, and the vintage machines that got me into computers in the first place.

This is where that work lives. It’s a growing practice, not a storefront — but it’s real, and it’s what the bench is set up to do.

The bench is open for work. If you’ve got a board that needs someone to actually find the failed part, tell me what you’ve got.

Where to go from here

  • Repair Services — what I fix, what I won’t take, and how to send me the details.
  • The Bench — the gear and tooling behind the work.
  • Streaming — repair and build work, live.
