Hi, I’m Chad. I run Arcanite Computers in my spare time to help people feel more comfortable with computers and AI. I offer patient, one-on-one help in Fallbrook and nearby communities, with limited appointments on evenings and weekends.
This is not a full-time repair shop or an emergency support service. Send me a short email and I’ll let you know whether I’m a good fit and when I’m available.
How I can help
I keep the list small so I can be honest about what I do well and what I currently have time to take on.
Learn how tools such as ChatGPT can help with writing, planning, organizing information, learning new skills, and everyday tasks. Sessions are based on what you actually want to accomplish.
Learn about AI sessionsI can help you compare computers, understand the specifications, avoid unnecessary upgrades, and make a sensible choice for your budget and needs.
Learn about buying guidanceI’m not accepting computer repair jobs at this time. I would like to add repair services in the future, but I do not have an opening date to announce yet.
See what is planned
Just me—no sales team, call center, or hidden handoff.
About me
I grew up while home computers, the internet, and smartphones were becoming part of everyday life. I remember learning the old-fashioned way—taking things apart, fixing mistakes, reading manuals, and helping family and friends when something did not work.
Over the years, I’ve worked with computer hardware, Windows systems, help desks, data, investigations, software tools, and AI. In my regular job, I use technology to solve practical problems and make repetitive work easier. Arcanite Computers gives me a way to share that experience locally without pretending to be a large IT company.
My goal is not to impress you with technical language. It is to listen, explain your options, and help you make a decision that makes sense for your situation and budget.
Local and part-time by design: I live in Fallbrook, work a regular job, and schedule this work around family and other responsibilities. That means my availability is limited, but it also means you will always know exactly who you are working with.
