# FarrAndDroid Tech
*FarrAndDroid Tech* is my first company, which I started during school as a tech support business. Despite only taking a few paid clients, I helped a lot of friends, family and mutual connections with their technological woes, spanning Windows, Linux, Android and MacOS.
Common tech support tasks
* data recovery from damaged backups and damaged hard drives;
* deleted file recovery;
* virus & malware hunting & removal;
* OS maintenance and optimisation (basically making unusable computers usable again);
* recovery of BitLocker encryption keys;
* troubleshooting & diagnosing hardware failure;
* router configuration & optimisation;
* system optimisation per user's needs (e.g. installing & configuring specific apps and browser extensions);
* custom keyboard layout creation.
In the new era of high surveillance, *FarrAndDroid Tech* has expanded into the fields of digital privacy, digital security, and digital decentralisation.
