I'm Dylan Reed, founder of Reed Networks.

I got my start in IT supporting companies that enabled first responders — firefighters, police officers, and some of the tools they depended on. That environment taught me something that still shapes how I work today: when technology fails the people relying on it, the consequences are real. Getting it right the first time matters.

That foundation led me through hands-on work in network engineering, cybersecurity audits, penetration test remediation, and compliance frameworks. That path eventually brought me to San Francisco, where I've focused on the small businesses that power the city's real estate, legal, and professional services sectors — teams that can't afford IT failures but often can't justify a full-time IT department either.

I started Reed Networks because I kept seeing the same problem in the industry. Businesses locked into IT relationships built on dependency rather than trust — providers who made switching painful by design and leveraged that against the very clients they were supposed to serve.

My goal is to be a genuine part of your team. Someone you call because you trust my judgment, not because your data is sitting on my servers. You own your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant, your passwords, your documentation, and every tool your business depends on to operate. If we ever part ways, we'll help make that transition smooth.

Reed Networks is intentionally small and focused. You're not getting a call center or a rotating cast of technicians. You get me — someone with experience across Microsoft 365, Azure, Cisco networking, and compliance, who knows your environment and is personally invested in keeping it running well.

Reed Networks is based in San Francisco and serves businesses across the city and Bay Area — close enough to be on-site when it matters, built for remote-first when it doesn't.

If that sounds like the kind of IT relationship your business deserves, I'd love to talk.
