Independent software & infrastructure consulting
FideTech Solutions helps teams modernize software, operate reliable infrastructure, and turn difficult technical decisions into forward motion.
Where I can help
Bring me the system that needs to scale, the migration nobody wants to touch, or the technical direction that needs a clear owner.
Design and delivery across web, desktop, SaaS, internal platforms, and systems software—from technical discovery through production operations.
Reliable, observable infrastructure and delivery systems designed around your actual operating constraints—not a reference diagram.
Progressive migrations that keep the business running while applications, databases, infrastructure, and delivery practices evolve.
Custom Linux, appliance control planes, virtualization, networking, storage, and recovery—from first boot through safe in-field updates.
Navigate a fast-moving ecosystem of models, platforms, agents, and developer tools—then turn the right pieces into secure, measurable improvements to products and operations.
Architecture, priorities, delivery systems, and mentoring for teams that need senior direction without another full-time executive.
Experience that compounds
Writing the plan and carrying the pager. Designing the platform and debugging the cable. Leading the team and shipping the code. That range changes how I approach risk—and what I consider a finished solution.
“Understand the system, set direction, build the thing, help the people.”
Managed Linux and Solaris servers, virtualization, and public computer fleets. Built locked-down kiosk software and a purpose-built Linux environment designed for children.
Progressively replaced a live PHP commerce stack with an Angular and Node.js platform, migrated its data without disruption, built payment and production workflows, and owned the network, storage, Macs, servers, and deployment path.
Went from open-source contributor to architect, engineering manager, and infrastructure and deployment leader. Built and led cloud and SRE teams, established SLOs and incident practices, created automated deployment and upgrade platforms, delivered high-throughput services, and executed three zero-downtime migrations across managed cloud and bare metal.
Delivered custom business systems, desktop applications, developer tools, Go APIs using GraphQL and gRPC, live-media pipelines, appliance control planes and field-update systems, immutable Linux and container/microVM runtimes, API-driven network-equipment provisioning, infrastructure upgrades, and pragmatic AI guidance.
How engagements work
You don’t need a months-long discovery phase. You need the right questions, a candid view of the tradeoffs, and useful progress early.
Map the system, the business constraint, and the risk. Find the real problem before prescribing the stack.
Make options and tradeoffs visible. Record the decision so the team knows why—not only what.
Ship the smallest complete move that reduces risk and proves the direction in the real environment.
Documentation, automation, observability, and team understanding are part of the deliverable.
Building, not just advising
FideTech Solutions designs, operates, and supports software of its own. That keeps our consulting grounded in the same product decisions, production tradeoffs, and customer expectations we help partners navigate.
Presentation software for churches and live environments, backed by a local-first appliance that handles display control, network setup, discovery, and safe field updates.

About FideTech
I’m Aaron Ogle, founder of FideTech Solutions. I’m a builder, systems thinker, and technical leader who is most useful where product, infrastructure, and operations meet—and comfortable moving from user experience and APIs all the way down to deployment, hardware, and recovery.
I’ve worked from small organizations where “IT” meant every computer, cable, server, and line of business software—to a global open-source platform where I grew from contributor to engineering manager, staff-level architect, and infrastructure leader responsible for reliability across thousands of deployments.
I started FideTech Solutions to bring that range directly to teams with consequential problems: growing products, risky migrations, operational friction, aging systems, and ambitious ideas that need an experienced pair of hands.
