Tech & Tinker

The work

From venues and store rollouts to apps and one-off builds that have to hold up.

Owner of Tech & Tinker Consulting since 2012—plus years of production engineering and multi-site installs. The common thread: translate messy technical problems into systems and software people can run.

  • AV & IT systems

    Design, install, and tune multi-venue audio, video, networking, projection, digital signage, and conferencing—so the room works when the doors open.

  • Apps & custom software

    Desktop apps built for how one person actually works—tools like Tinker LLC Manager for sole-owner paperwork, plus internal apps and automation that fit the job.

  • Custom tech builds

    Raspberry Pi systems, device controllers, and one-off hardware/software stacks that make complex gear simple to run day to day.

  • Integration & troubleshooting

    Bridge hardware and software—IoT, smart displays, routers, switches, firmware, and cross-device quirks—until the stack behaves as one system.

  • Support that sticks

    On-site and remote help, staff walk-throughs, clear docs, and handoffs built for people who have to use the system after I leave.

How it runs

Assess the environment. Build it right. Leave it documented.

  1. 01

    Scope the job

    On-site or remote: we map constraints, devices, networks, and what “working” means for the people who use it.

  2. 02

    Install & integrate

    Hardware, software, networking, and validation—with the liaison work between vendors, managers, and operators included.

  3. 03

    Train & hand off

    Walk-throughs, escalation paths, and docs you can keep. The goal is lasting reliability, not a black box.
