Self-taught since 1976. Still asking why.
NeRD Network Design Ltd. is a British Columbia technology company founded in 2021 by David William Gislason after decades of hands-on systems, networking, support and software experience.
The name is playful. The work is not.
NeRD exists to build technology that respects the people using it. That means complete systems, clear documentation, reversible operations, honest limitations and products that help users keep ownership of their work and judgment.
What NeRD brings
More than twenty years of professional IT experience, a self-taught technical history stretching back to 1976, and a habit of seeing software, infrastructure, support, security and documentation as one connected system.
Where the work happens
NeRD is Canadian, based in British Columbia, and builds for organizations and readers who value practical depth over theatre.
