About RipperSolutions

Most IT providers wait for something to break, then charge you to fix it. We'd rather it never broke in the first place.

RipperSolutions is a boutique IT and reliability firm built on a simple idea: your technology should be dependable, understandable, and genuinely yours, not a black box you're afraid to touch. We help small and mid-sized businesses, and serious home users, run their systems the way large companies run theirs, without the cost or complexity of a big IT department.

That approach comes from real experience keeping large production systems online. The same reliability and monitoring discipline (often called Site Reliability Engineering) that big platforms depend on, scaled down to fit a business your size. We design environments to catch problems early, stay stable under real-world use, and give you clear visibility into how everything is performing.

We don't stop at keeping systems running, we build them. When off-the-shelf tools don't fit how you actually work, we design and develop custom software, and the systems around it, from the ground up.

Every engagement is led directly by the founder, the same engineer who designs, builds, and supports your environment. We document what we build and explain our decisions in plain language, so you always understand your own systems and can make informed calls about them.

If you rely on your technology but don't have a dedicated IT or engineering team, that's exactly the gap we fill.
