Enterprise Depth. Direct Access.
I’m Jason, an enterprise infrastructure engineer with three decades of experience spanning networking, voice, data center, security, and servers across every major industry vertical, from small business to multinational. Former Cisco MSP/VAR. Full M&A lifecycle from due diligence through post-merger harmonization. HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA-aligned infrastructure experience. Based in Frederick, Maryland: on-site across the DC–Baltimore corridor, remote anywhere. Direct engagement only.
Every engagement is direct: you work with the engineer, not a project manager who routes emails to one. Vendor-neutral. No upsell. On-site across Frederick, Montgomery, Howard, and Carroll counties, Baltimore, and the Washington, DC metro, and remote for everyone else.
Architecture, implementation, and lifecycle management of enterprise voice environments. Multi-cluster deployments, HA gateways, SIP trunking, contact center, and E911 compliance at scale.
Routing, switching, and WAN design for enterprise environments. VLAN architecture, QoS policy, redundancy planning, and network-layer troubleshooting from edge to core.
Data center infrastructure planning, server lifecycle management, and platform migrations. Virtualization, storage, and compute design for environments that cannot afford downtime.
Network security design, access control policy, and certificate lifecycle management. HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA-aligned infrastructure architecture. Closing gaps in security posture across voice, data, and collaboration environments.
Full M&A technology lifecycle, from pre-deal due diligence through post-merger harmonization. Integration design, migration strategy, tooling deduplication, and cutover execution across combined entities.
PMP-trained project leadership for infrastructure deployments, migrations, and technology rollouts. Stakeholder communication, risk management, and delivery accountability from scope through cutover.
Python-based automation to eliminate manual overhead. Custom tooling for infrastructure auditing, inventory reporting, endpoint management, and large-scale data operations.
From brand identity to a live website: strategy, visual design, and full WordPress implementation. Nonprofits and community organizations receive significantly discounted rates.

TCPA/TCR-compliant SMS programs, privacy policies, technical runbooks, and standards documentation. Built to satisfy regulators and auditors, and actually usable by the engineers who follow them.
I’ve spent three decades in enterprise IT, working across virtually every technology discipline and industry vertical, on five continents, from small businesses to multinationals. I started on the ISP side while still in college, moved through higher education, then spent years at a Cisco-focused VAR and MSP working across the full technology stack for dozens of clients simultaneously.
From there I moved through a series of large, complex organizations: the world’s largest medical device manufacturer through multiple acquisitions, an Australia-headquartered global commercial real estate company and its subsequent de-merger into a French-headquartered real estate group, a high net-worth private banking institution, 5-star multinational hotel and resort properties, and one of the nation’s largest grocery chains with a European sister company. Each brought its own regulatory environment, operational complexity, and technology debt.
My primary specialty is Unified Communications, but the M&A work in particular has required me to move fluidly across voice, network, data center, security, and servers, simultaneously, under tight timelines, with business continuity as a hard constraint. I bring privacy architecture experience across HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA frameworks. That breadth is what Octagon Solutions delivers.
Octagon Solutions is based in Frederick, Maryland. For clients along the I-270 corridor and across the Baltimore–Washington metro, that means an engineer who can actually show up for data center walk-throughs, cutover nights, and the conversations that go better in person. For everyone else, the same depth is available remotely, as it has been for clients on five continents.
Skip the ticket queue. Talk directly to the engineer who will be doing the work. No intake forms routed to a sales team, just a direct conversation about your problem.
Octagon Solutions is based in Frederick, Maryland, serving the DC–Baltimore corridor on-site and clients everywhere remotely.
How engagements work: every engagement starts with a direct conversation. You describe the problem, and I tell you honestly whether I’m the right person to solve it. Work is scoped as fixed-price projects or hourly, remote or on-site as the job requires. You get the same engineer from first call to final documentation.
