“We were dealing with constant internet drops and nobody could figure out why. Osama came in, rewired the whole setup, and we haven't had a single outage since. Our staff can finally work without losing their minds.”

--Business Owner·Healthcare
Mar 22 14:15:03 client-002[Technology]:

“Honestly, I didn't even know half the security holes we had until Osama ran his audit. He fixed everything, set up proper monitoring, and we passed our ISO certification on the first try. Worth every penny.”

--Managing Director·Technology
Jul 08 11:20:45 client-003[Finance]:

“We needed someone who could handle the VPN setup between our offices without disrupting daily operations. He did it over a weekend. Monday morning, everything just worked. No complaints from anyone.”

--Operations Manager·Finance
Sep 14 16:42:30 client-004[Home Services]:
