Specific merchant names available upon request or under NDA where applicable.
Hosting, DNS & Infrastructure

GoDaddy, Hostwinds, Windows Server, IIS, SSL

  • SSL, DNS, and certificate cleanup
  • WinRM / MSDeploy & PowerShell automation
These engagements are often ad-hoc “get us back online” projects for non-technical teams.
