A painted cottage on a hill of golden poppies. Orange Wi-Fi waves rise from its chimney, puffy clouds are linked like a network, and a little smiling computer in a straw hat runs a Tech Help stand.

Friendly local tech help, from a neighbor.

The little computer walks down a poppy-lined lane with a Tech Help bag while a neighbor waves from her porch. The Neighborhood Tech Help icon is painted on her gate.

No set prices — the price is discussed and reviewed depending on the job, and I'm willing to work with any budget. If something is outside what I can do, I'll tell you straight.

At a cozy, tidy workbench the little computer solders a circuit board, with schematics pinned up and tools in neat rows.

Scripts & Tools

Small Python scripts I built for real everyday IT problems. Free to look at and use — each one links to its code on GitHub.

Snag-All Sorting Script

A file organizer. It sorts a messy folder by date, type and what's inside, so "English 3" essays, notes and vocab end up together and photos land in the month they were taken. For a really tangled folder, Claude (an AI assistant) can sort the leftovers, seeing only what you allow.

For: overflowing Downloads, school or work folders.

Needs: Windows, Mac or Linux. Double-click to start; it sets itself up the first time.

Get Snag-All on GitHub

Created by Opus 5.5 and Anjavera
Safe by design
- Shows a preview and asks before moving anything
- One click puts everything back
- Never deletes or overwrites a file
- Stays on your computer; skips OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox and iCloud
- Sets aside suspicious downloads without opening them
Backup Checker
Verifies backups actually ran, instead of assuming they did.
For: homes and small businesses that rely on backups.
Needs: Python
Coming soon
Wi-Fi Checklist
Step-by-step diagnostic walkthrough for flaky Wi-Fi.
For: anyone chasing dropped or slow Wi-Fi.
Needs: Python

Through the little computer's eyes: its robotic hands on an old typewriter on a sunny desk, a mug with the Neighborhood Tech Help icon beside it, and the poppy hill and cottage outside the window.

Questions

Why is the website called Anjavera and not Neighborhood Tech Help?

Anjavera is the name I go by as a developer. It started as my GitHub account, where I share the scripts and tools I build, and it has grown into the umbrella for everything I work on. Neighborhood Tech Help is the part of Anjavera that helps neighbors with their tech. Same person, same phone number.

About

I'm a neighbor based in Citrus Heights, serving Sacramento and Placer Counties. I've been running a home lab and doing self-directed IT work since 2023, and I'm studying for CompTIA A+. Networking and cybersecurity interest me the most, and someday I hope to build a career in those fields.
