Infrastructure
Servers, virtualization, storage and backups, on-premises or in the cloud. Sized right, monitored, and built to recover when something fails.
Independent IT consultantInfrastructure that
Infrastructure that
just works.
I design, build and run the infrastructure, platforms and networks your business depends on — automated, secured, documented, and supported by someone who picks up the phone.

Our signature
We leave our fingerprints on the DNA of your enterprise.
Services
Everything between the wall jack and the cloud.
From a single server to a full platform, I take on the whole stack — and leave it automated and documented so it doesn't depend on me.
Platform development
Internal platforms, self-service portals, APIs and dashboards that give your team one place to run operations — containerized and easy to deploy.
Automation & DevOps
Stop doing the same task twice. Infrastructure as code, scripted deployments and pipelines make every change repeatable, reviewable and fast.
Network & Security
Wired, wireless and cloud. Firewalls, segmented networks, VPNs and Wi-Fi that's fast, safe and actually covers the building.
Monitoring & identity
Open-source security tooling deployed and run for you: SIEM, central logs, single sign-on and hardening against recognized baselines.
Windows, Linux & Microsoft 365
Every platform, day to day: Active Directory and Entra ID, workstations, email and Teams, migrations and the support that keeps people working.

Approach
Keep scrolling →How a project runs.
Listen
I start with how your business actually works — the people, the constraints, what keeps breaking — before recommending anything.
Assess
An honest inventory of what you have: risks, quick wins and what can wait. You get it in writing, in plain language.
Build
Changes are scripted and tested, rolled out in steps and scheduled around your business hours. No surprises on Monday morning.
Document
Diagrams, runbooks and credentials handed over properly. Your infrastructure belongs to you, not to your consultant.
Support
Monitoring, maintenance and a real person to call. As involved as you need — from on-call help to a monthly check-in.
About
Hi, I'm Michel.
I'm a hands-on, very technical consultant who likes to understand how things work before touching them. Through Akta Solutions I've supported businesses from Montreal, Laval and Saint-Laurent to Kitimat, BC.
I work directly with you from start to finish: no account managers, no handoffs. I bring the same care to a five-person office as to a multi-site migration.

Recommendations
What people say about my work.
I have had the chance to work with Michel on the Kitimat Modernization Project for the past year. Michel has proved himself countless times to be sincere, honest and utterly dependable, while at the same time having one of the most personable, friendly and warm personalities of all the people I know. His proactive behaviour and positive attitude have a direct impact on the KMP project and across Bechtel. Michel is well liked by all, and known for being extremely ethical, intelligent, dedicated and hard working. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Michel as a Project IT or any management position related to IT.
