Our Guiding Principles

We don't just teach software; we teach a philosophy of reliability. These core values drive every course module we create.

Clarity Over Complexity

We break down expert-level topics like rsync protocols and APFS snapshots into simple, actionable steps. No jargon without explanation.

Practicality First

Theory is useful, but execution saves data. You'll learn skills you can immediately apply to real-world server environments and workstations.

Empowerment Through Knowledge

We don't just teach you what buttons to click; we teach you the 'why' behind the workflow, enabling you to troubleshoot with confidence.

From SysAdmin to Educator

"Data loss isn't usually a software failure; it's a strategy failure."

After a decade managing enterprise servers and witnessing catastrophic data losses that could have been easily prevented, I realized the industry problem wasn't a lack of tools—it was a lack of understanding.

I founded Chronos Code in 2025 to bridge that gap. I took the proven, military-grade backup strategies I used to protect mission-critical systems and distilled them into accessible courses. Whether you are archiving a photographer's lifetime of work or securing a law firm's database, my goal is to give you the peace of mind that comes with a bulletproof backup strategy.
