Dusker is a small, American tech business with a focus on training and consulting. We service individual and small business members. Above all, we're dedicated to honesty and integrity
Technician, teacher, and consultant Mr. Z founded Dusker in '22 after witnessing the need for individuals and small businesses to fix their cyber security and major technical inefficiencies and the need for after-hours help
N. Zeko aka "Mr. Z"
When dusk hits, you're done with your work day. You should be relaxing, knowing you spent a hard day at work. But we know there's nothing worse than spending all day working to come home to more problems, especially tech problems. So we're here to alleviate those problems and give you a peaceful dusk, as it should be. That and we mostly work after dusk

Whom does Dusker serve?
Dusker's members are typically individuals and small business owners. If you have a medium-sized business, you're not out of the running, but we'll need lots of details to see if we can assist you. We typically cater to American businesses, but if your available time matches our available times, we'll happily help
What are your business hours?
To keep our prices reasonable, we work by appointment only. Typically, we work after 5pm on weekdays, and weekends vary. See our current schedule here
Do you do in-person visits?
We mainly work remotely, but we can arrange local in-person visits for special circumstances. These visits will incur additional charges to cover time and travel expenses
Why display your prices?
Even though competitors may shadily undercut us to lure you away, we would rather be upfront with you. We believe you should be able to plan your spending for your financial well-being. Plus, we don't want to waste your time seeking bids – we hate doing it ourselves!
How do you bill?
We bill in quarter-hour increments. Some companies bill in hourly increments, which means you pay the same amount regardless of time taken to finish a job. With our model, you save money. That's business integrity at its finest
What's the subscription for?
Dusker is an exclusive provider that serves its members. Your membership covers our operational expenses and allows us to continue serving you at such friendly service prices
Can Dusker manage my IT?
No, but we can find someone who can. Dusker is meant to consult you on the path to a solution, not manage your solutions. We can do some things a managed service provider (MSP) might, but it's not our true role
Can you tell my IT person they're wrong?
Sorry, that's not our model. Dusker advises you, our member. We can talk with your IT person, demystify tech, and even convey explanations between you and your MSP. But at the root, we provide consultations, not scorn and termination notices
What sort of customizations can Dusker provide?
Dusker specializes in computer matching and building, but we've also done virtual network, network storage, and custom mobile device setups. We've made our own server cases, created digital renderings of furniture, crafted websites, and can do even more. If you have an idea, bring it to us
Do you have any discounts?
We do! See our referral discount and our review discount
We tell you all we should about our business

Dusker uses cyber-secure practices, taking its account security seriously and implementing safeguards
Dusker's internal infrastructure relies heavily on Google and Zoho, lightweight applications, secure procedures, and low-cost or free services and applications to practice what we advise
After expenses, Dusker nets very little profit, and much of that is put into company growth
Proudly, Dusker LLC is based in Orange County, CA, USA
We use a business mailing address for our business
Dusker is led by founder, Mr. Zeko [ZEE-ko] or Zeko, as he was affectionately known during his teaching days, who has a Master's degree, a teaching credential, and 10+ years as an IT admin. He enjoys hockey, volleyball, complex games, hiking mountains, and woodworking
We plan on keeping the company private and small enough to be warm and welcoming
