About Ian
Ian is a technically minded problem solver with over 20 years of experience in boutique hosting solutions and customer conflict resolution. He builds systems that last, from automated weather and irrigation networks to self-hosted infrastructure and client websites under the 4Development brand. His work blends engineering precision with a calm, human touch, the same mindset that has helped him manage both servers and people with equal patience.
With a background in customer service, Ian understands that reliability is not just uptime; it is trust. He manages complex Docker and WireGuard setups across an ARM cluster, keeps IoT sensors and web services running cleanly, and uses AI where it truly adds value, improving productivity, cutting repetition, and providing a second view when tackling technical or design challenges.
Away from code and cables, Ian tends to a collection of more than fifty orchids. The discipline of that practice - observation, balance, and slow adjustment - mirrors how he approaches technology. Systems grow best when they are nurtured, not rushed.
For employers, Ian offers a grounded mix of experience, adaptability, and focus. He builds things properly, documents them clearly, and resolves problems without drama. Whether it is architecture, automation, or communication, he works toward the same outcome every time: steady, sustainable excellence.
