mid~dog - long tail

systems that breathe / tools that track / teams that flow

Fractional CIO, CTO, & Digital Transformation for small and mid‑sized teams.

Fractional Information & Digital Officer (FIDO)- Retainer, Project, or Embedded Support

Shepherd your infrastructure, workflows, and people so your engineers ship faster with less chaos.

Every organization is a living pack.

Some run well.

Some run wild.

Most run with friction they barely recognize.

Your mid~dog FIDO senses deeper — to the scent trails, the pulses, the subtle misalignments between tool, team, and tempo. Then ranges to your call to restore and renew rhythm.

mid~dog matches your mode and cadence:

  • Retainered Service
  • Scoped Project Outcomes
  • Fully Embedded Support

Servers sprawling, workstations going feral? FIDOs corral complexity, cut noise, and keep your pack healthy – without switching horses mid-stream from what already works.

  • Tame sprawl. Patch the herd. Make your tools move as one.
    • Efficiently observe, control, and optimize
      • Servers & Workstations
      • On Prem & Cloud
      • Serverless & Application Workflows
    • OS, Patching, & Software Deployment Hygiene
    • Fleet Visibility & Vulnerability Management
    • Configuration & Control
    • Security Tool Performance Tuning

From “heroic releases” to calm, predictable ship cycles. CI/CD that hums, fewer manual paw-prints in your path, and on-call that doesn’t wreck your crew.

  • CI/CD and flow rituals that keep releases warm-blooded and tight.
    • CI/CD Pipelines
    • Build Performance Tuning
    • Artefact Management
    • Automation & AI

Advisory without ego. Coaching, facilitation, and rituals that keep your team moving together—present, grounded, and not burning out.
