Nick Dodd || Software & Hardware

Software & Hardware

From code to cables — servers, storage, networking, databases, automation, and the systems behind the scenes.

Some of what I build

Servers & Virtualization

Windows Server, Hyper-V, Linux — bare metal to VMs, upgrades, performance tuning, and maintenance.

Networking

VLANs, routing, Wi-Fi, segmentation, secure remote access, and monitoring-minded layouts.

Storage & Backups

Snapshots, replication, restore testing, and storage that’s fast, sane, and recoverable.

Databases

MySQL design and tuning, safe query patterns, migrations, logging, and cleanup work.

Automation & Tooling

Dashboards, admin panels, scripts, APIs, integrations — the glue that makes systems usable.

Video / Surveillance

Camera systems, NVR planning, storage strategy, and remote viewing that stays stable.

Background

I’ve been building tech for a long time — from early mobile-era projects to modern server infrastructure. These days I focus on systems that need to be fast, stable, and easy to maintain.

Software development & backend systems (web, tooling, automation)
Servers, virtualization, storage, backups, and monitoring
Networking, segmentation, and reliability-first design

Need a hand?

If you’re building something reliable — or fixing something that isn’t — I can help.

Designing / upgrading a server setup
Migrations (hardware refresh, VMs, storage moves)
Backup plans that actually restore
Network cleanup (Wi-Fi stability, segmentation, secure access)
Database cleanup + performance fixes
