Senior Systems Architect | Proxmox - Private Cloud & SysAdmin Expert

I build secure, high-performance IT infrastructure for businesses—without the massive cloud bills. Hi, I'm Muhammad. With over 17 years in the IT industry, I’ve grown from a hands-on Network Engineer into a Lead Infrastructure Architect. Today, I help startups, SMEs, and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) break free from the expensive monthly traps of big cloud providers (like AWS or Azure). Instead, I help them build their own private, highly secure, and easy-to-manage servers. --- CURRENTLY, I WEAR A FEW HATS --- ► SECURING GLOBAL BUSINESSES: I manage the core infrastructure for a major cybersecurity firm across the Middle East and Asia. We are talking about high-security servers, strict access controls, and monitoring everything 24/7 to keep the bad guys out. ► BUILDING PRIVATE CLOUDS: Through my own initiatives (BSCloud.id and Infrasoft.id), I help businesses and government agencies build their own independent datacenters. They get total control over their data, completely keeping their privacy intact. --- MY RULE: "KEEP IT STUPID SIMPLE" (KISS) --- I believe you don't need an overly complicated setup to get cloud-level performance. You just need the right architecture. I focus on giving businesses peace of mind, strong security, and centralized control without the bloated overhead. --- HOW I DO IT (MY CORE TOOLS) --- ✔ SMART SERVERS & STORAGE: I use Proxmox and bare-metal servers (like Hetzner) to build setups that keep your business online even if a piece of hardware fails. ✔ BULLETPROOF SECURITY: I set up strong firewalls (pfSense), Cloudflare, and "Zero-Trust" access rules—meaning nobody gets into your system unless they are absolutely supposed to (using tools like JumpServer and Authentik). ✔ 24/7 MONITORING & AI TROUBLESHOOTING: I rely on rock-solid tools (like Uptime Kuma and Pulse) to monitor your servers in real-time. When an alert pops up, I use my custom-built AI assistant via Telegram to instantly analyze complex logs and execute commands. The AI only works when I tell it to—giving you the speed of AI with the safety of strict human control. ✔ DISASTER RECOVERY: Automated, tested backups so your business data is always safe, no matter what happens. Whether you need to secure a single critical server, migrate away from expensive public clouds, or build a reliable IT network from scratch, I am here to help. Let's chat about how we can make your infrastructure faster, safer, and much more affordable!
