Hand Technology Solutions
Independent Systems Engineering & Infrastructure Consulting
About
I’m Joshua Hand, a senior systems engineer with over 20 years of experience designing, securing, and managing enterprise infrastructure. I’ve supported organizations ranging from small businesses to large enterprises, non‑profits, and U.S. Federal government environments. My consulting work focuses on practical, reliable solutions built on real‑world experience — not buzzwords or over‑engineering.
Hand Technology Solutions (HTS) is my independent consulting practice, operating under the HTSJAX brand. I keep things simple: high‑quality engineering, clear communication, and solutions that actually work.
