Slow, unstable, infected, or just being a pain? 401comp finds what’s actually wrong, fixes it properly, and explains the answer in plain English—without the big-box runaround.
401comp // systems ready
software .......... 06 tools
services .......... mac + pc
status ............ online
Mac and PC diagnosis, cleanup, and repair at your home or business. I trace the cause, explain the options clearly, and fix what actually needs fixing.
Good business software starts with the people who use it every day. I work with end users, trace the real workflows, and understand how each part of the organization connects before designing the tools that support it.
No mystery work and no pressure. You get a diagnosis, a clear explanation, and a straightforward path forward.
Send a note about the device, the problem, and when it started. “It’s just weird” is a perfectly valid opening statement.
I look past the symptom to find the actual fault instead of throwing random fixes at the wall.
I explain what I found in normal language, what matters, and what the fix involves before moving ahead.
The goal is a computer that works properly—and a clear answer you can trust when the job is done.
401comp is a one-person shop. It started with a two-year Computer Information Systems degree from New England Institute of Technology, where peer-tutoring coursework turned into a teaching offer at graduation — a new job's timing meant taking a different path instead.
From there came programmer/analyst work on healthcare systems, including MUMPS, and later a small business fixing other people's Windows machines.
401comp is independent computer service built around diagnosis first—not guessing, upselling, or throwing software at a problem until it shuts up. The goal is simple: find what’s actually wrong, fix it properly, and leave you with a clear answer and a product you can trust.
Proof that I understand the machinery under the hood—not just the buttons people click.
