Karim R.
DevOps & Python Developer | Docker, Linux, Telegram & Discord Bots
I build and run the backend side of things: servers, bots and integrations. Mostly for small businesses and developers who need something deployed, connected or fixed. What I do: - Deploy and secure Linux servers (Ubuntu, Docker, Docker Compose, Nginx/Caddy, TLS, UFW) - Move apps between hosts without losing data - Build Telegram and Discord bots in Python (slash commands, buttons, payments, file delivery) - Connect CRMs and APIs: Pipedrive, Google Drive, email, webhooks - Fix things that broke: full disks, Docker networking, firewall conflicts, expired certificates Recent work: - Discord bot for a sales team, connected to Pipedrive. It creates deals and activities, moves deals through the pipeline with buttons and sends notifications. Also moved their server to a new host with zero data loss. - Self-hosted VPN service on a Remnawave panel with nodes in the Netherlands and Poland, plus a bot that sets up new nodes over SSH. - Telegram bots: a VPN subscription bot with tiered pricing, and a file delivery bot running on Google Cloud Run. I write short docs for everything I set up, so you can run it without me. I'm a 3rd year Information Security student at ITMO, so every server I touch gets locked down properly. English for chat and docs, Russian native.
