Welcome to my little corner of the internet. My name is Rob Mallicoat, and I am a geek, techie and IT consultant as well as a former MLB pitcher who worked for BMC Software, Dell and Microsoft over a 27+ year career and now based in Yakima, WA.
I created this website and LLC to start consulting to help small to medium sized businesses around anything IT focused.
I am taking questions and now scheduling, weekly, monthly and quarterly onsite visits and also have started taking new clients to provide onsite or remote/work-from-home services over Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

Background
IT has been my career since baseball for the last 30 years. I started working for a small radiology company and taught myself networking and PC repair then was certified on Windows NT 4.0. I then moved into pre-sales technical support and pre-sales for the last 25 years, working with companies like BMC Software, Quest Software, Dell and Microsoft, sharpening my skills and meeting great co-workers and customers along the way.
Experience
Having worked for some of the largest software vendors in the world I have been able to gather experience from the development practices from companies all over the world.
Leadership
During my software career I worked on some amazing projects along with excellent coworkers but never actually managed a team.
I chose to take on interesting, incubation projects over settling into a manager role since I began my trek at 28 after 10 years playing professional baseball for the Houston Astros
