Independent systems consulting with an operator mindset.
Hckrslsh is operated by Scotty Greer, a Nashville systems engineer providing direct, vendor-neutral technology consulting for homes, professional offices, small businesses, and practical AI or automation projects.
Consulting philosophy
I focus on systems that clients can understand and maintain after I leave. Sometimes the right solution is a new platform. Sometimes it is improving what is already in place. Recommendations are based on fit, risk, and value rather than sales commissions or unnecessary subscriptions.
Hckrslsh balances traditional IT fundamentals — reliable computers, networks, identity, backup, and security — with modern infrastructure, self-hosting, automation, and private AI planning.
Why direct independent consulting helps
You work with the person investigating the issue and making the recommendation. There is no sales handoff, no outsourced queue, and no incentive to sell tools you do not need.
The goal is clear diagnosis, practical options, and documented next steps.
