What I'm looking for

I'm looking to help small businesses keep their technology secure, monitored, patched, backed up, and reliable through on-demand support or a managed monthly partnership.

I run Tucker's Help Desk, providing on-demand and managed IT support to small businesses throughout Austin. I design enterprise-grade networks for medical practices, delivering hospital-level reliability without hospital-level bureaucracy.

For a cardiology clinic, I transformed a failure-prone network into 100% uptime, saving $8K–$10K in the first year. My proactive monitoring and remote recovery reduced on-site emergencies by more than 80%.

Previously, at Thompson, Coe, Cousins & Irons, I owned security and infrastructure for a 500+ user legal environment, leading a zero-downtime Windows 11 migration and reducing unplanned downtime 40%. I've also supported SMB environments at TeamLogicIT, endpoint automation at Deloitte, and mission-critical engineering and test operations at Firefly Aerospace.

I help organizations with networking and Wi-Fi, Microsoft 365, new employee setups, data migration, outages, printers, security, and the everyday IT problems that come with running a business. Whether a team needs help on demand or a managed partner to monitor, patch, and back up its systems, I'd love to talk.
