Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: How you incorporate - or choose to exclude - digital technology in your daily life heavily determines your level of productivity, both personally and professionally. Just like your relationship with your physical body and mind, your relationship to technology is one that requires management and discipline. In many cases, the best approach is one of simplification, with a focus on tighter organization and management of fewer tools, not more stuff to learn or buy. With an unhealthy relationship to technology, your inbox is a source of constant dread and frustration. You have learned to ignore or "just delete" constant annoyances like error message windows and unwanted email. You spend more time trying to navigate and locate things on your home computer than you do getting actual tasks completed. You have many software applications installed on your PC that you have never, ever used, and many of them you don't even know what they are meant to do. You have spent over $2,000 on digital technology in the past 12-18 months but could not easily identify any return on that investment, let alone recoup. *** If your home computer or laptop does not actively support and enhance your life in at least five different ways, your investment is being wasted.*** What I love most about this job is sharing in the joy and satisfaction my clients express when we eliminate or resolve an ongoing source of frustration or inefficiency within their digital realm.

I have been delighted with Chris Rubin’s services and highly recommend working with him. I work extensively on a computer and run a fast paced company with demanding clients. I found myself crippled by the sheer volume of incoming emails and projects. Despite my best efforts to organize and keep up, I was at critical mass. The time I was wasting searching for files, correspondence, and items to follow up became more than a nuisance, it was actually costing me time and money. Realizing I was in a hole, I searched for classes at local colleges and tech companies where I could learn the latest techniques, but found there were none that fit my needs or schedule. I have worked with Chris once a week for the past 5 weeks, and have seen huge improvements in my efficiency, above and beyond my expectations. Chris listens, defines the problem and quickly gets to the root. He has the experience and knowledge to suggest everything from simple tips and tools I immediately applied, to different software options which perfectly fit my needs and were often free. It’s clear his expertise allows him to work with everything from the simplest of issues, to highly complex tasks, and his patience is never ending, which has been very helpful. After working with Chris, my approach to email has completely shifted and I no longer feel overwhelmed. My productivity is increasing and I am in control again. My ability to find specific data and my overall search time has been greatly reduced, and as I implement new strategies Chris has taught me, this will improve even more. I highly recommend his services. Best regards, Francesca Kuglen HairZing Francesca.kuglen@hairzing.com

We hired Chris to help us with a tech problem we have been working on for 4 years. From the first time we spoke on the phone he was efficient and respectful. He asked all the pertinent questions before even coming in. He solved both of the issues we had in just a few hours at the house. He was an absolute pleasure to work with! We highly recommend him. He is trustworthy, reliable and so efficient.

We knew our project would be one that required imagination, knowledge, creativity, talent and a collaborative spirit. That's a lot to ask for, but we were fortunate enough to come across all of that in Chris Rubin. Now, our web page displays 5 volumes of epic poetry that can be read just like a book... the reader turns the pages to the sound of the paper in movement... Chris' work is truly a work of art and we could not be happier.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    This is my side gig. Full time I work for world-class advertising agencies and Fortune 100 clients like Google, Xbox, Sony and Viacom. This means I'm neck-deep in the most cutting-edge technologies on a daily basis, with massive budgets to allow for experimentation with and disruption of common approaches.
