Why ZADO Exists

Most Danish SMBs need DevOps expertise but can't justify a full-time hire. You're spending too much on cloud, worried about GDPR compliance, and don't have time to figure out disaster recovery plans. That's exactly the gap we fill.

Who I Am

Henrik Jess - Based in Copenhagen area. 10+ years building and fixing cloud infrastructure for Danish and EU businesses.

I specialize in Azure (better EU data positioning than AWS), GDPR compliance, and helping SMBs stop wasting money on cloud costs. My background includes electrical engineering and 30+ years of infrastructure work - from the early Linux/Unix days to modern cloud platforms.

Why Danish Businesses Work With Me

I understand the regulatory context you operate in. Not just technically, but practically. I know what Datatilsynet expects, what FSA requirements mean for financial services firms, and how to actually implement EU data residency (not just check a box saying "EU region").

I speak your language. Communication in Danish or English. Contracts under Danish law. No confusion about jurisdiction or what happens to your data.

I've been where you are. I've run my own infrastructure for 30+ years - DNS, email, databases, the works. When I recommend a solution, it's because I've actually implemented and maintained it in production, not because I read it in a vendor whitepaper.

How This Works

Most clients start with a free 30-minute audit where we look at your current setup, identify the biggest risks or waste, and decide if it makes sense to work together. No sales pressure. If your setup is fine, I'll tell you.

Work can be project-based (fix this specific problem) or ongoing retainer (monthly optimization and support). You choose what fits your budget and needs.

Location: Copenhagen area, Denmark

Why Work With ZADO

No Offshore Mystery

Based in Denmark. All work done by me, not outsourced to a team in another timezone who doesn't understand Danish regulations.

Practical Experience, Not Theory

I've run production infrastructure for 30+ years. Every recommendation comes from actual implementation experience, not vendor marketing materials.

Compliance Built In

GDPR, FSA, data sovereignty - not bolted on as an afterthought. Designed into solutions from day one because I understand what Danish businesses actually need.

Value Focus

Work should pay for itself through cost savings, reduced downtime, or winning new business. The compliance peace of mind is bonus.

Flexible Engagement

Project-based for one-time fixes, or monthly retainer for ongoing support. You choose what fits your budget and needs.
