About MiTech Consult
From crawlspaces to cloud infrastructure, hardware to AI
My journey didn't start in a cloud server—it started in ceilings, crawlspaces, and server closets.
Early Career: Building the Foundation
I began as an IT support specialist, running SalemNet IT Solutions (2012-2020)—a small Managed Service Provider specializing in the "jack-of-all-trades" approach. From high-end residential installations to large-scale commercial deployments, I built complete systems:
- VOIP phone systems and unified communications
- Surveillance and access control systems
- Distributed audio and home automation (URC-certified)
- Structured cabling and network installation
- Commercial AV for bars, restaurants, venues
- IoT exploration (LoRaWAN, Zigbee, Z-Wave, MQTT)
Detroit Metro: Enterprise Scale
Some of my proudest work came from projects with Intellitech and Simply Tech in the Detroit area—scaling from residential installs to enterprise-level deployments.
These projects taught me how to design systems that scale, troubleshoot under pressure, and deliver solutions that organizations depend on daily. The experience of working on large commercial installations shaped my understanding of what reliable infrastructure really means.
This work gave me hands-on experience from pulling wire to configuring enterprise networks—understanding systems from the physical layer up.
The Analog-Digital Convergence
I trained as an electrical apprentice during a pivotal shift in the industry: the crossover from analog to digital. Most recently (2024-2026), I've been working as an electrical technician on mixed residential and light commercial projects—maintaining that hands-on connection to the physical infrastructure that powers everything.
What I Learned
- • Physical craft: pulling wire, bending conduit
- • Understanding raw power distribution
- • Old-school electrical fundamentals
- • Residential and light commercial installations
What I Taught
- • IP addressing and networking
- • Network segmentation strategies
- • Software logic for hardware control
- • Low-voltage integration with building systems
I became the bridge between generations—learning the physical craft from analog electricians while introducing them to the digital world. Even today, I maintain that hands-on foundation while architecting AI-driven solutions.
Today: Solution Architecture
I apply that same "full-stack" philosophy—from the physical layer to the application layer—to modern solution design.
Just as I once bridged analog electricians to the digital world, I now orchestrate AI systems to architect and build solutions. Rather than writing every line by hand, I design the logic, structure the architecture, and leverage AI tools to execute the implementation.
Self-Hosted, Sovereign AI
I architect systems from the infrastructure up—designing the solution, then directing AI to implement it.

Architecture Tools
The future isn't about writing code—it's about designing systems that own their data, remember their context, and operate efficiently on your own hardware.
