What We Build
Eight core systems for digital resilience. Each one designed to work when the platform doesn't.
Every system we build starts from the same premise: platforms fail, grids go down, terms change. Your infrastructure should not depend on any of those things remaining stable.
Here is what we build, and why it matters on the North Shore.
Digital Resilience Audit
The foundation. Every engagement begins here.
A 2–4 hour comprehensive audit of your entire digital ecosystem. Every device, every service, every account, every vulnerability. We map what you have, what depends on what, where the single points of failure are.
You receive a written report with prioritized recommendations. Some items you can act on immediately. Some require building new infrastructure. All of it is honest.
This is not a sales pitch. It is a diagnosis.
Self-hosted Email & Domain
Your mail server. Your domain. Yours.
Email is the master key to every other account. When you lose control of your email — through deplatforming, account compromise, or platform shutdown — you lose access to everything tied to it.
We set up Mailu (or equivalent) on hardware you control. Your domain. Your mail server. No one can take it away.
This is the most important thing most people are missing.
Private Cloud & Local Sync
Nextcloud on your hardware. No monthly fees. No upload limits.
Your files sync across your devices through your local network. When you’re home, sync is instant. When you leave, sync works through your secure remote connection.
No storage limits. No terms of service you didn’t write. No AI training on your photos.
107,000+ tracks in ours. Your documents, photos, and files in yours.
Home Automation
Home Assistant that works offline. No cloud dependencies.
Most home automation products fail when their cloud backend shuts down, changes terms, or gets acquired. We build Home Assistant installations that run entirely on your local network.
Lights, sensors, thermostats, door locks — all automated, all local, all working during power grid irregularities and internet outages.
Newsletter & Signal Systems
Own your list. Own your signal.
Your subscriber list is one of your most valuable digital assets. We install and configure Listmonk — your own newsletter platform — so you own every address and can move providers without losing anyone.
No per-subscriber fees. No platform risk. No algorithm between you and your readers.
Offline-first Knowledge Hubs
Documentation that lives on your network.
Critical information — operating procedures, emergency contacts, infrastructure documentation, community knowledge — shouldn’t require internet to access.
We build local-first knowledge systems: Wikis, document repositories, and information hubs that are fully accessible on your local network, synchronized to the cloud when you choose.
Secure Remote Access
Access from anywhere. Expose nothing.
WireGuard VPN, properly configured. You get secure access to your home or office network from anywhere in the world. Nothing is publicly exposed. No subscription fees to a VPN provider.
This is how you check your home cameras, access your files, and manage your infrastructure from the road — without trusting a third party.
Continuity Planning
Digital estate planning. Built for reality.
What happens to your digital infrastructure if something happens to you? Who knows the passwords? Who can access the backups? Who can keep critical systems running?
We document your entire digital ecosystem, establish recovery procedures, and create the handoff documentation that protects the people who depend on your systems.
This work is serious. We treat it that way.
How engagements work
Every engagement begins with a System Assessment — a complete audit of where you are now. From there, we design the build together. You understand every decision. We implement it alongside you. You leave with the knowledge to maintain it.
Three assessment slots per month. Kauaʻi only.
