Friendly mobile tech services from a professional computer engineer

About Me

Nick - a professional computer engineer posing on top of a mountain with mountains in the background

Hi, I'm Nick — an electrical and computer engineer with over 20 years of experience designing embedded systems, leading engineering teams, and helping people get the most out of their technology.

I had a similar tech business 25 years ago and wanted to bring that service back to my community. So I started Beacon Tech Help to bring friendly, expert-level tech support directly into homes and small businesses in the Seattle area. Whether you're struggling with a stubborn Wi-Fi network, setting up smart home devices, exploring AI tools, or just want someone to demystify your digital life — I’m here to help.

I believe tech should make your life easier, not more confusing. That’s why I focus on patient, personal support that meets you where you are — with no jargon, no upsells, and no judgment.

If you’re looking for repair services such as euro-rack and synthesizer repair, speaker re-coning, vacuum amplifier repair, let me know as I can help here as well.
