Networks that hold up. Software that fits.
Hi, I'm Mickey. I set up Wi-Fi, UniFi networks, and cabling for small offices and homes, and I build the custom software and integrations that run on top of them. You deal with me from the first call to the hand-off.
Who you're working with
Mickey Mullin
Network administrator, IT instructor, software company co-founder, then engineer and engineering manager at Microsoft and Yahoo.
I've built software and run networks for 30 years. I started out as a network administrator, taught IT certification courses, co-founded a software company, and from 2013 to 2023 was an engineer and then an engineering manager at Microsoft and Yahoo, where my teams ran high-availability ad platforms on AWS.
Today I build custom enterprise software as a consultant. I use AI coding tools every day, and three decades of reading, reviewing, and running production code keeps that output clean and consistent. For a small business, that puts custom software within reach.
The same habits make networks dependable: plan it, build it cleanly, test it, write down how it works.
You work directly with me. The person who scopes the job is the one who pulls the cable, configures the gear, and follows up afterward. No account managers, no hand-offs to someone you've never met.
Common first calls
Sound familiar?
- “The Wi-Fi drops in the back office.”
- On-site diagnosis, a coverage plan, and access points placed where they're actually needed.
- “We're moving into a new space.”
- Network design, install, guest Wi-Fi kept apart from the business network, and a labeled port map.
- “A spreadsheet is running the business.”
- A small custom tool or integration that does the job properly and talks to what you already use.
- “We built an app with AI. Now what?”
- Your domain, hosting, logins, email, and CRM connected, and a security check, so people can actually use it.
Networking & Wi-Fi
On site, done properly, documented.
Sized for offices of 1–20 people, homes, and contractors who need a network sub. The work the big managed-IT shops tend to skip.
- Network troubleshootingSlow, dropping, or flaky networks found and fixed on site, not guessed at over the phone.
- Business & home Wi-FiCoverage that reaches every room, the warehouse floor, and the back deck. Guest networks done right.
- UniFi installsUbiquiti UniFi gateways, PoE switches, and access points, set up with sensible VLANs and handed over with your own logins.
- Small-office networksInternet, firewall, switching, and Wi-Fi for a new or reorganized office, plus a rack that someone else can make sense of.
- Network cablingCat6 drops, jacks, and patch panels, tested and labeled. Power work goes to a licensed electrician.
- Wireless bridges & failoverReach the barn or second building without trenching. Automatic backup internet for when the main line goes down.
- For general contractorsLow-voltage network sub: itemized bid, rough-in and trim-out on your schedule, port map at closeout.
Software
Built around how you actually work.
Software is my day trade: 30 years of it, from Microsoft and Yahoo to the enterprise platforms I build today. AI-assisted development gets you a working version quickly. Decades of experience make sure it is clean, tested, and yours to keep.
- Custom softwareInternal tools, portals, and dashboards that replace the spreadsheet, the whiteboard, and the sticky notes.
- Mockup to productionYou or your team built something with ChatGPT, Claude, Lovable, Bolt, Replit, or v0, and it almost works. I take it the last mile: your domain, real hosting, logins, your email and CRM, backups, and a security check, so customers and staff can actually use it.
- Integrations & automationConnect your CRM, scheduling, invoicing, and email so data is entered once and the busywork stops.
- Small-business websitesFast, clean sites that load quickly, show up in local search, and can be edited without calling anyone.
- MVPs & prototypesA working first version of the idea, enough to test with real customers before spending big.
The last mile
The questions that stall an AI-built app, and how I answer them:
- What about DNS? Your own domain pointed at the app, with HTTPS, and your existing email still working afterward.
- How do I hook this to Gmail? Send and receive through Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC set up so mail lands in inboxes, not spam.
- How does it get into our CRM? Leads, contacts, and orders flow into HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, or whatever you already use.
- Where does it live? Hosting sized to the job, in your name and on your billing.
- Who can log in? Real accounts and roles instead of a shared link.
- Is it safe? API keys out of the code, the database locked down, customer data handled properly.
- What if it breaks? Backups, monitoring, and a written runbook, plus ongoing support if you want it.
How a job goes
No surprises, no lock-in.
- 01
Talk it through
Send a note or call. If it needs eyes on site, I'll come look before quoting.
- 02
Written quote
Labor and hardware itemized. Jobs with hardware take a 50% deposit on the equipment; the rest is due on completion.

Install & hand-off
Done, tested, then handed over: your admin logins, a port map, and a one-page summary of the setup.
Pricing
Typical ranges, stated up front.
Every job gets a written quote. These ranges cover labor. Hardware is billed at cost plus a small markup, or you can buy it from a parts list.

Questions
The short answers.
Do you sell the networking equipment?
Yes. Hardware is billed at cost plus a small markup, or you can buy it yourself from a parts list. Jobs that include hardware take a 50% deposit on the equipment.
Will I be locked in to you?
No. You get the admin logins, a labeled port map, and a short written summary of how the network is set up, so anyone competent can pick it up later.
Do you work evenings and Saturdays?
Yes. Evening and Saturday appointments are available, which is often easier for homes and small offices that can't go offline during the day.
Do you use AI to write the software?
Yes, as a tool. AI-assisted development lets one experienced developer build in weeks what used to take a small team months. Every line still goes through the review, testing, and design judgment that 30 years of production software taught me, and you own all of the code when we're done.
I built an app with AI. Can you make it work for real?
Usually, yes. I start with a free review of what you have: what works, what is risky, and what is missing, such as the domain, hosting, logins, email, CRM, and security. Then you get a fixed quote to finish it. Sometimes rebuilding one piece costs less than patching it, and I will tell you when that is the case. You keep the code, and every account is in your name.
Do you do electrical work?
No. Anything involving power, such as a new outlet for a rack or UPS, goes to a licensed electrician.
