About J7 Creations
IT infrastructure and custom fabrication in West Tennessee.
About
I'm Thomas Ipock. I run J7 Creations out of Milan/Atwood, TN.
I do network design, custom fabrication and on-site installation. Most of the jobs worth calling me about need more than one of those, which is the reason I do all three.
My background includes roles at Tesla, SWITCH, Lutron Electronics, and Geek Squad, spanning high-voltage electrical systems, enterprise IT networks, hardware/software support, and custom manufacturing.
Service Approach
I take on the jobs that have no off-the-shelf answer: equipment that doesn't fit, WiFi that won't reach, mounting that doesn't exist. I design it and I install it.
Three things, and most jobs use more than one:
- IT Infrastructure — Network design, VLAN segmentation, PoE deployment, Home Assistant automation
- Custom Fabrication — 3D printing, CAD design, laser etching, replacement parts, enclosures
- Field Installation — Equipment mounting, cable management, testing, commissioning
Operating Principles
- No black boxes — Every system I build is documented, explainable, and under your control. No hidden dependencies, no cloud lock-in, no mystery.
- Planning first — Time spent on the design is cheaper than fixing it afterwards.
- Local deployment — Systems operate on-site without cloud dependencies or subscriptions.
- Tidy work — Clean installs, documentation you keep, and support after I leave.
Service Area
Based in Milan/Atwood, TN, I serve a 100-mile radius covering Jackson, Martin, Union City, Dyersburg, Paris, Huntingdon, and surrounding communities.
