About LAN Samurai
I'm Ted Reitz, a Central Valley IT engineer with deep, hands-on business technology experience.
I've supported local businesses directly and worked as a Tier 2 MSP technician, handling networks, servers, Active Directory, Intune, and virtualization across Windows, Linux, and cloud.
I watched clients get locked into expensive contracts and pushed into upgrades they didn't need. LAN Samurai is the alternative. I build you a clean open source stack you own, document it, and hand it to a support team you choose.
IT and ERP for Agriculture
Built for growers, packers, and ag businesses across the Central Valley.
Get your field records, compliance documents, and back office into one system you own, not another subscription.
From farms to packing houses, I help ag businesses connect inventory, accounting, and paperwork in open source tools like Odoo and Paperless-ngx, with a clean handoff to the MSP of your choice.
