Worried about Mum or Dad and their tech?

I'm the patient, trusted hand in their home when you can't be: I go at their pace, never make them feel foolish, and write everything down. We start with a free chat, and you're welcome to be part of it.

About Brian

Hi, I'm Brian β€” and it's always me.

I'm Scottish by birth and a Northern Beaches local of many years. My wife and I came to Australia in 1989, raised our two sons in Mona Vale, and now share a busy inter-generational home with our two grandchildren β€” the joy of my life.

I spent 27 years in technology β€” twenty of them with Cisco, then Citrix and Autodesk β€” and everything I built came down to trust. Now retired, I volunteer at Computer Pals in Narrabeen and run The Calm Tech: patient, in-home help, at your pace, with every fix written down. It will only ever be me at your door.
