I'm Jason, a Calgary-based IT & systems builder. I run BlackBox Connections, a managed IT practice for local small businesses, and I designed and built RevOne, a serverless marketing automation and notification platform on AWS.
Most small businesses don't need an IT department. They need one person who actually understands their whole environment: the Microsoft 365 tenant, the network in the back room, the line-of-business software that pays the bills, and the cloud services quietly holding it all together.
That's what I do. I support a portfolio of Calgary small and mid-sized businesses directly — no ticket queue, no handoffs — and when off-the-shelf tools don't fit, I build the software myself. Some client relationships go back fifteen years.
