About Keys and Chords
I’m Samuel Warren, an IT consultant based in the South Puget Sound.
Over the last 15+ years I’ve supported teams across multiple industries, led 7+ network upgrades, and guided several system migrations—from planning and testing through cutover and clean‑up.
I’m comfortable in environments that blend traditional IT and self‑hosted infrastructure, including Raspberry Pi, Docker, Nginx Proxy Manager, UniFi networking, Synology, and church production networks.
Confidential and Respectful
Client environments are treated as confidential. I don’t share names, internal diagrams, or specific configurations without permission, and any documentation I create is for your team—not for marketing.
FAQ
What happens during the free assessment?
We’ll review your current setup, clarify your goals, and identify the most important issues to tackle. You’ll leave with a clear, written next step—even if you decide not to move forward.
Do you work on-site or remotely?
Both. For South Puget Sound clients, I can be on‑site for discovery and implementation, with remote follow‑up as needed.
What areas do you serve?
Primarily Puyallup and surrounding South Puget Sound communities. For work outside this area, we can discuss remote options.
Do you resell hardware, or are you vendor‑neutral?
I’m vendor‑neutral. I’ll recommend hardware and services that fit your needs and budget, and you’re free to purchase through your preferred channels.
