About
Hey, I'm Ashton.
IT consultant based on the Central Coast. I work across Microsoft 365, infrastructure, healthcare IT, troubleshooting, and practical AI support.
I grew up on the Central Coast of Australia, spending most of my time on computers. That turned into a career, first at Google, then Apple, before working across MSPs, healthcare IT, and telco for the better part of a decade.
Most of the work I enjoy is practical: getting Microsoft 365 behaving properly, cleaning up infrastructure, fixing messy environments, helping local businesses make better technical decisions, and supporting teams that need someone who can move between planning and hands-on delivery.
I still spend time on research and security work when it is relevant, but the core of what I do is straightforward IT consulting. When I am not working, I train Muay Thai and listen to too much music.
What I work on
IT consulting
Microsoft 365, infrastructure cleanup, migrations, troubleshooting, and the day-to-day systems work that makes a business easier to run.
Healthcare IT
PACS, RIS, imaging workflows, and the surrounding infrastructure clinical teams rely on every day.
Practical AI support
Sensible setup, workflow help, and guardrails for teams that want to use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot without turning it into a science project.
