Calm, Clever Automation for Homes & Infra

We tame smart homes and complex systems—from a single light that behaves to a fleet of servers that won’t page you at 03:00. We like sleep, so we build boring, secure systems.

No lock-in. You keep admin. Clear docs, calm nights.

Security-first EU-based Remote-friendly Residential & SME

Home Automation

Home Assistant, Matter/Thread, Zigbee/Z-Wave, energy monitoring, presence, dashboards.

Datacenter Ops

Racks, cabling standards, monitoring, builds and migrations without 3AM fire drills.

DevOps Tooling

CI/CD pipelines, Terraform & Ansible, container platforms with a security-first posture.

Sysadmin Services

Linux/Windows fleets: identity, patching, virtualization, backups, performance tuning.

Why Kalcifer

Pragmatic engineering over gadget chaos. We design for sleep and stability.

Boring is beautiful

We favor proven tech and clear runbooks so incidents are rare and recoveries are fast.

Security by default

Identity, secrets, network boundaries, and least-privilege from day one.

Metrics over mysticism

Before/after measurements and dashboards—no hand-wavy vibes.

Clean handover

Readable docs and small, sharp tools your team can own.
