If your problem needs a technician or specialist, I’ll explain why and help you decide on your next steps.
My name is Gary. I’m a practical problem-solver who enjoys helping people feel more confident using everyday technology.
I help with everyday technology problems at home, including:
“I couldn’t get my new TV and Fire TV stick to work and was missing my favourite shows.
Gary came over, set everything up properly, and showed me how to use it. He’s since helped with my printer and my new phone.
Everything is working well now, I can relax again.”
— Heather C.
“Technology isn’t my thing.
My old computer couldn’t handle Windows 11. I didn’t know what to do. Gary explained the problem clearly, helped me choose a new computer that suited my needs, and set everything up when it arrived.
Everything I use is now easy to access. I couldn’t be happier.”
— Sid H.
I'll confirm whether I can help, then we can arrange an appointment.

Not sure what's wrong with your tech?
As a senior myself, I understand why calm, patient explanations matter. I understand how frustrating technology can feel when things suddenly stop working or don’t make sense.
I’ve spent decades in my training business managing all kinds of technology and solving tech issues.
Based in Brisbane’s Northside, I also service surrounding areas where possible.

Technology can feel confusing and frustrating — especially when things suddenly change.

If that sounds familiar, I can help.

“My iPad had been so frustrating to use. Facebook wasn’t working properly, and everything kept freezing.
Gary came over, updated it, set things up properly, and showed me how it all works. He also got my emails working again.
Now everything runs smoothly, and I’m very relieved.”
— Ann B.
