fix@techdriven:~cat mission

Infrastructure · tooling · automation — Chicago

We build the infrastructure, tooling, and automated workflows a business actually runs on — plus the observability to prove they're working. Enterprise-grade practice, without the enterprise overhead.

Pick how we show up.

// three ways in — build it, run it, or plan it. Same standard of work.

01 / 03

Managed operations

What we build, we keep running — monitoring, patching, backup verification, and the pager. Escalation means digging deeper, not a new tier.

Scope

  • Monitoring & alerting — Grafana
  • Patching & backup verification
  • Ticket triage — support.techdriven.io
  • Root cause, written down

02 / 03

Onsite & field build

The physical layer, done right. Networks, racks, and the hardware everything else depends on — we show up with tools.

Scope

  • Network builds & rewires
  • Rack-and-stack
  • Hardware diagnostics
  • Security installs
details →

03 / 03

Architecture & advisory

Design work from the people who carry the pager for what they design — cloud architecture, automation strategy, AI integration. Plans you can execute, not decks.

Scope

  • AWS cloud architecture
  • Terraform & automation strategy
  • Infrastructure audits
  • AI integration — Claude, MCP

Everything under the hood.

// the AI is new — the engineering discipline behind it isn't

How an engagement runs

The same six steps, whether it's one broken switch or a full cloud migration.

flow@techdriven — engagement.log
[1/6]understand — read the system as-built: configs, logs, the parts nobody wrote down.[2/6]cut waste — retire what isn't earning its keep before anything new gets added.[3/6]build — small, versioned changes. Terraform and Ansible, not hand edits at 5 p.m.[4/6]validate — test the failure path, not just the demo path.[5/6]ship small — one reversible change at a time.[6/6]measure — Grafana dashboards you can read without calling us.

automation@techdriven:~cat why

No tiers. No bench. No handoffs.

We use AI like any other tool: Claude on the repetitive work, MCP wiring it into real systems, private models where the data can't leave.

We've been in the environments you're describing

Private datacenters. Hospitality at enterprise scale. Telecom. Multi-site retail. Production systems where downtime had a dollar figure.

We've sat on your side of the vendor relationship

We've been the in-house team waiting on a vendor who oversold and underdelivered. We run engagements the way we wished those vendors had — clear scope, honest timelines, no disappearing after the contract is signed.

We don't upsell what you don't need

We know what it's like when a vendor recommends a $50k solution to a $5k problem. We'll tell you what actually makes sense at your scale.

We don't hold your keys

Admin access, domain control, repos, runbooks — in your tenancy, in your name, from day one. If you ever leave, you take everything, because you always had everything.

Describe what's broken, or what shouldn't be manual. The reply comes from the person who'll do the work — no queue, no tiers.
