About · Brooklyn, CT

I'm Bo. I live here.

Six years in software: security engineering and IT management. I moved that skillset down the road from your shop.

The short story

Why local trades, and why the prices are public.

The obvious move for my resume is an agency: build for whoever pays the retainer, never shake a hand, move on to the next ticket. I looked at that path and passed. Meanwhile the trades within a half hour of my house, the people who actually show up when a pipe bursts at 9pm, were choosing between national vendors charging north of $2,000 a month and a Facebook page from 2019. That gap bothered me enough to do something about it.

The published pricing comes from the same place. Every web vendor I researched around here makes you book a sales call just to hear a number. I put mine on the page instead: $3,500 to build, $149 a month to keep it running. If that doesn't fit your budget, you found out in thirty seconds and it cost you nothing. That's how I'd want to be sold to, so it's how I sell.

The security-engineer part

What a security engineer does differently.

I've spent my career keeping systems safe and running. Your website gets the same treatment: you own the accounts, I hold zero passwords I shouldn't, everything is backed up, and I'll never hold your domain hostage. I couldn't even if I wanted to, it's registered to you.

How I work

Four things you can hold me to.

  • One build at a time. You get a real start date, not a queue position.
  • Evenings for calls, because that's when you're off the clock.
  • Next business day on anything routine. Site down? I'm on it that evening.
  • You own everything: domain, site, Google account. Registered to you, not me.
Where I work

Thirty-five minutes covers a lot of the Quiet Corner.

Based in Brooklyn, CT. Six towns, and every drive time below is from my driveway, not a call center three states away.

Fifteen minutes. Evenings work. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you who is.

No pitch deck, no follow-up sequence if you say no.
