Tech that just works. At the office and at home.

I'm Andy. Twenty-plus years in IT, now looking after homes and businesses across New Bern and Eastern North Carolina. Whether it's a network that keeps dropping, a laptop that takes five minutes to boot, or the repetitive work stealing your afternoons, I sort it out. If it's tech and it's a headache, odds are I can fix it or build it.

A real local person you can call. No jargon, no pressure, no ticket queue in another time zone.

Over 20 years in IT Homes and businesses I come to you The first visit is free
For your business

Keep the tech running so you can run the business.

The kind of setup a big company pays a whole department for, sized and priced for a New Bern small business. It starts with a free visit to see what you've got.

Networks and WiFi

Slow WiFi and dropped connections cost you all day. I set up networks that are fast in every corner, locked down, and easy to reach from home or the road.

  • Fast WiFi and clean wiring in every room
  • Your card readers, staff, and guests kept separate
  • Secure remote access and a backup if the internet drops

IT and security

The stuff you don't think about until it breaks. Backups that actually work, computers that stay updated and protected, email that behaves, and cameras if you want eyes on the place.

  • Backups you can count on
  • Updates, virus protection, and locked-down logins
  • Security cameras and door access

Stop missing calls

A call that hits voicemail after hours is usually a customer about to call the next guy. I can set your phone up to text people back the second you miss them, and take the repetitive office work off your plate.

  • Missed calls get an instant text back
  • Reminders and follow-ups that send themselves
  • Intake, quotes, and invoices on autopilot

Custom tools and private AI

Need a tool that does exactly what your office does? I build them. And if you handle sensitive records, I can set up AI that runs on your own equipment instead of shipping client info off to some company.

  • Custom tools and small apps built around you
  • AI that stays on your equipment, for law, medical, and finance
  • Websites that actually bring in calls
For your home

The tech guy everyone calls.

Slow computer, WiFi that won't reach the back bedroom, cameras you want put in right? I'll take care of it, and explain it like a normal human. No trip-charge surprises.

Whole-home WiFi

Dead spots in the back room? Buffering on movie night? I'll get you fast, reliable WiFi in every room and set it up so it stays that way.

  • Strong signal in every room, no dead spots
  • Guest network and parental controls
  • Smoother streaming, gaming, and video calls

Computer help

Running slow, acting weird, or brand new out of the box? I clean them up, clear out viruses, and get a new machine set up with everything moved over so nothing gets lost.

  • Slow PC and Mac tune-ups
  • Virus and pop-up cleanup
  • New computer setup, everything moved over

Cameras and smart home

Security cameras, video doorbells, smart lights and speakers. I'll pick the right gear, put it in, and set it up so the whole house can actually use it.

  • Security cameras and video doorbells
  • Smart lights, plugs, thermostats, and speakers
  • All of it on one app that makes sense

Backups and peace of mind

Nobody backs up until they lose everything. I'll get your photos and files backing up on their own, and I'm happy to answer whatever tech question you've got.

  • Photos and files backed up automatically
  • Passwords and accounts sorted out
  • Friendly help, no question too basic
How it goes

Working together is pretty simple.

1

Free visit

I come check out your setup, office or house, and tell you what's worth doing. Free, and no pressure to buy anything.

2

A real price

You get a clear price before I start. Whatever we agree on is the number, no surprises on the bill.

3

I get it done

I set it up right, usually in a few days, and make sure it works for how you actually use it.

4

Still around

Need me again down the road? I'm right here in town, not a call center you'll wait on hold for.

Why me

Twenty years of doing this. Right here, on your side.

Plenty of folks call themselves an IT guy, or an AI guy this year. I've spent over two decades actually keeping systems running, in hospitals and schools where downtime wasn't an option. And I don't just fix things, I build them.

  • Over 20 years in the real thingI've kept the kind of systems small businesses only wish they had running smoothly, in healthcare and education, where it had to work all day, every day.
  • I fix it, and I build itMost computer guys reset your password and leave. I also build custom tools, automations, and real software. I built and run mabelbot.com myself, top to bottom.
  • Your private stuff stays yoursIf you deal with sensitive records, I can run AI right on your own equipment, so nothing gets shipped off to an outside company.
  • Local and easy to reachI'm here in New Bern. If something breaks, you call me and I come by. You're not opening a ticket with someone three states away.

based here, serving Craven County and Eastern NC. Grew up just up the road in Greenville.

Something I built

See what I can put together.

I designed, built, and run mabelbot.com myself, the whole thing: sign-ins, the database, the AI, and the security around it. If you want proof I can build real software and not just fix printers, that's it. I'm just getting started around here, so my first few clients get my best pricing and my full attention.

Straight answers

Questions people actually ask.

Do you help homes too, or just businesses? +

Both. I'm one local tech guy in New Bern. The same person who can lock down your office network can also fix the dead WiFi spot in your back bedroom.

What kind of stuff do you actually do? +

A lot. Office and home networks and WiFi, security cameras, IT and backups, slow or broken computers, smart-home setup, automating repetitive office work, and building custom tools and software. If it plugs in or connects to the internet, there's a good chance I can help.

I'm not a tech person. Is that a problem? +

Not even a little. You tell me what's slow, broken, or driving you crazy, and I handle the rest and explain it in normal English. No question is too basic.

I already have an IT person. Do you replace them? +

No. I'm glad to work alongside whoever keeps your systems running, and add the networking, automation, and custom work most IT folks don't get into.

What does it cost? +

The first visit is free. Home visits are a simple flat or hourly rate. Business projects run from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the job, and you get the exact number before I start. Monthly support is optional and starts around $300.

Is my private information safe with AI? +

If you deal with sensitive records, I can set up AI that runs on your own equipment instead of sending your information off to an outside company. You get the speed of AI without handing your files to someone else.

Do you come to me, or is it all remote? +

I come to you. I'm local, so I show up in person for setup and hands-on work. Some ongoing help can be done remotely, but when you need someone there, I'm a short drive away.

Let's talk

Tell me what's going on.

A quick note about what's slow, broken, or eating your time, at the office or at home. I'll get back to you with a couple of specific things I'd do about it. Free, no pressure.
