Friendly, patient, technology help for the Sunshine Coast

Coast Tech Companion is a Sunshine Coast, BC technology support service. I help people learn how to use their computer, phone, or tablet, provide guidance on staying safe from online scams, and offer patient troubleshooting when things aren't working the way they should.

I work in your home or remotely, and every session is built around your needs and your pace. I also offer free workshops and Q&As on scam protection at community centres, local libraries, and seniors centres across the Sunshine Coast.

About

Hi, I'm Lachlan. I live in Halfmoon Bay on the Sunshine Coast of BC. I have been helping individuals and communities to live better, more empowered lives for over a decade. After many years of helping strangers, friends, and family with their phones, computers, and tablets, I saw how much the rapid pace of technology change is leaving many people behind.

I started Coast Tech Companion to help people on the Sunshine Coast so that they can use technology in a safe, practical way that works for them. I center clear communication, patience, and solving real problems in every thing I do. I'm committed to the Coast, and am committed to making sure that nobody on the Sunshine Coast is left behind.
