// About
The practice
// Built in the real world
Practice over theory
Animus Projects is an independent IT consultancy based in Gilbert, Arizona, working with clients across the country. It is the practice of a working infrastructure engineer who spends every day running Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, Iru (formerly Kandji), and Verkada across a multi-entity organization: thousands of devices, multiple states, and real consequences when something breaks.
That matters because most consulting advice ages the moment the consultant stops practicing. The recommendations you get here are the same ones being tested in production this week, not recycled from a certification course. The engineer behind the practice holds CompTIA Network+ and is completing a Master of Science in Management Information Systems.
The name is the point. Animus is Latin for mind, spirit, and intent. Projects done with intent: scoped honestly, built carefully, documented thoroughly, and handed off without lock-in.
// How we work
Three habits, no exceptions
Plain English
Status updates a business owner can read. Jargon only when it earns its place.
Documentation by default
Every engagement ends with runbooks and notes your next hire can pick up.
No lock-in
You keep the credentials, the docs, and the ability to walk away. Most clients stay anyway.
See if we fit
A short conversation is free and usually clarifying, even if the answer is “you don’t need a consultant for this.”
Animus Projects is a trade name of Lass Industries LLC.
