// About
Thirty years of getting it right when it counts.
Kevin Baker started in IT when the work happened on a command line and a network diagram was drawn by hand. Three decades later, that foundation runs underneath every engagement — cybersecurity, AI, data governance, and the digital forensics work that has put him on the witness stand in both state and federal courts.
Clients bring the problems that don't have a clean answer: the breach that shouldn't have happened, the AI rollout nobody wants to own, the data practice a regulator is about to question. The deliverable is always the same — a clear read on the evidence and a recommendation you can act on.
