I'm Tyler. I fix tech problems.
Local IT support for Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana. I come to you, explain things in plain English, and give honest recommendations.
How I got here
I spent years working for Geek Squad, providing computer support to people in Fort Wayne - home networks, devices that stopped working at the worst possible time, all of it. I was good at it. Customers asked for me by name, followed me from store to store, and kept coming back.
But I got tired of the upselling. The pressure to push services people didn't need. The feeling that corporate metrics mattered more than actually solving someone's problem.
So I started Digital Linchpin. Now when I tell you what's wrong with your computer, it's because that's actually what's wrong with your computer. When I recommend a solution, it's because it's the right one for your situation, not because there's a quota to hit.
Why I do this
Here's the thing about tech support: most people don't know what's wrong, and that makes them feel vulnerable. They're worried about getting ripped off, or talked down to, or sold something they don't need. I've seen it happen too many times.
I got into this work because I actually enjoy solving problems. There's something satisfying about taking a computer that won't boot, or a WiFi network that keeps dropping, and making it work again. Even better when I can explain what went wrong so it makes sense.
My goal is simple: fix your problem, explain what happened, and leave you feeling like you understand your own technology a little better. No jargon. No judgment if you don't know what a router is. Just straightforward help from someone who lives down the road.
What you can expect
- I come to you. In-home service throughout Fort Wayne, Grabill, and Northeast Indiana. No need to unplug everything and haul it somewhere.
- You don't have to know what's wrong. Just tell me what's happening. I'll figure out the rest and explain it in plain English.
- Honest recommendations. I'll tell you what you actually need, not what makes me the most money. Sometimes that means recommending you don't spend anything at all.
- Patient explanations. I'll take the time to make sure you understand what happened and how to avoid it in the future. No rushing, no condescension.
- A real person who answers. When you call or message, you're talking to me. Not a call center, not a ticketing system. Just me.
