Technology is supposed to make life easier. 

But it can often feel overwhelming, stressful, or confusing.

That’s where I come in.

If you are running into frustration trying to get your devices and technology to work for you — whether it be your phone, computer, passwords, thermostat, Zoom, apps or anything else — I'm here to help.

I work one-on-one with clients to solve problems quickly, and prevent those problems from coming back.  No rushing. No judgment. No tech jargon. Just calm, clear help from a real human who listens and cares.

• Email, messaging, and photos

• Printers, TVs, streaming, remotes, and smart home troubleshooting
• Zoom, tele-health, travel sites, online portals
• Scam prevention and online safety
• Remote computer help (I can securely connect while we talk)

Light Home Assistance

• Changing lightbulbs or smoke-detector batteries

• Setting up home devices (thermostats, clocks, remotes)

⭐ Why People Hire Me

Calm, patient, and kind

I explain things at your pace, without pressure or judgment.

Trusted by families

I'm a parent myself and regularly help my own parents and in-laws with technology and their homes. I enjoy helping people gain independence and confidence.

A real human — not a company

You work with me directly every time. No call centers. No hold times. No rotating staff.

World-class experience 

I have a Stanford engineering degree and have held key roles at several technology companies including Google.

Premium, concierge-style support

I come to you or help remotely, assist with what you need, and make sure everything works before I leave.

 

⭐ How It Works

In-Home Sessions in the San Francisco Bay Area

I visit your home for a calm, one-on-one session.
Perfect for setup, troubleshooting, hands-on help, or tailoring your devices to how you actually use them.

Remote Sessions

If you only need computer help, I can talk you through it or connect remotely.
Just turn on your computer, do a few clicks, and I take care of the rest.

Same patience, same clarity — no travel needed.

 

⭐ Who This Service Is For

• People who want calm, friendly help
• Families looking for trusted support for parents or grandparents
• Anyone overwhelmed by technology
• Those seeking a long-term, reliable helper for tech + home tasks

I am available to continue working with clients regularly — monthly, quarterly, or whenever you need.

 

⭐ Meet Barry

Hi, I’m Barry — a patient, friendly technology guide who loves helping people feel confident and calm with their devices.

For more than a decade I’ve worked at the intersection of technology, teaching, and everyday problem-solving.

My approach is simple:

Be patient.
Be clear.
Be kind.
Make everything easier again.

When I visit your home — or work with you remotely — I take the time to understand what you need, fix what’s not working, and walk you through each step at a comfortable pace.

I want clients to feel relieved, supported, and even energized after a session.

That’s the heart of what I do: helping people feel more peace and confidence in their daily lives.
