About
I've spent over 20 years building and running IT infrastructure at enterprise scale — cloud platforms, email systems, security frameworks, and the networks that hold them together. The kind of work that, done badly, brings businesses to a standstill.
Gigante Tech brings that same discipline to small businesses in Worthing.
Whether you need help setting up a printer or you're planning an Azure environment with load balancers, app gateways, and Kubernetes — and everything in between — we've got you covered.
Why I started Gigante Tech
Too many small businesses in Worthing either have no IT support at all, or pay for services that don't really look after them. I kept hearing the same story: "I pay someone to keep my website online, but I have no idea if my email is secure, my backups work, or my business data is protected."
Gigante Tech exists to give small businesses the kind of IT care that larger companies take for granted — someone who understands risk, speaks plain English, and proactively manages your technology so things don't go wrong in the first place.
How I work
Proactive, not reactive
I set things up properly and monitor them continuously. The goal is to prevent problems, not wait for them to happen.
Local and personal
Based in Broadwater, Worthing. You deal with me directly — not a rotating helpdesk. All work is scheduled and planned.
Clear and honest
Clear pricing, no hidden fees, no long contracts, no jargon. I'll tell you what you need and what you don't.
