Jamie’s IT journey with tech started in 1987, at age seven. A blinking cursor on a 286, an MS-DOS manual he could barely read, and a sense of possibility that’s never left him. By eight, he had formatted hit mothers PC, and UN-deleted it before she found out.
Since then, he has been breaking, building, programming, and learning everything he can about how systems really work.
Jamie runs Boss IT Solutions in Orange, NSW and he has spent the past three decades being the person clients call when things go seriously wrong. Ransomware, Domain lockouts, Mail problems, Vendor disputes (Telstra, Optus). He has recovered businesses from failed migrations, reversed vendor traps, cleaned up after negligent providers, and helped people regain control of their digital lives.
He work across government, corporate, small business and home. He has helped countless individuals and families who were over-billed, under-serviced, or simply forgotten by the industry.
His home is a test lab. 20+ devices running Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS on Hardened Router/Firewall and Subnets. A fleet of VPS boxes, stacked projects in DigitalOcean and 1984 Hosting, private cloud stacks using Mailcow, NGINX, DAVx, and Nextcloud. He built and maintains his own infrastructure so he can stay sharp and independent and assist more security focused clients.
He builds games and tools across Unity, Unreal, and Godot – models in Blender, and produces music in FL Studio with a Yamaha P-125 and a 7-string guitar. He also runs VPS labs, tinkers with Linux distros, and is completing a Masters of Cyber Security at Charles Sturt University. He also enjoys Power-building and lifting weights.
Above all, He cares about helping people, especially those left behind by tech.
If he finds an old 486 or a Honeywell mouse… It’s Christmas.
