I’m a Linux systems administrator with solid industry experience, helping businesses build and maintain stable, secure, and high-performing server environments. I specialize in simplifying infrastructure for small and medium businesses and setting up cost-effective alternatives to expensive cloud services without compromising performance. What I Do: ✓ Setup servers. Optionally install and configure a control panel. ✓ Harden servers for high security and compliance requirements. ✓ Optimize servers for optimal speed and stability. ✓ Setup Web/Database/DNS high availability clusters for auto-replication and redundancy. ✓ Improve email deliverability (SPF/DKIM/DMARC/IP Reputation Management). ✓ Install SSL certificates, configure Firewall, and fail2ban/LFD for brute force protection. ✓ Perform server security audits and hardening, according to industry best practices. ✓ Configure backups (scheduled/real-time). Plan and execute Disaster Recovery. ✓ Plan and perform server migrations. Migrate websites with minimal downtime. ✓ Setup Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Web Application Firewall (WAF). ✓ Mitigate DDoS attacks using NGINX/Apache, fail2ban, CSF and iptables. ✓ Install and configure Apache, NGINX (as a backend or reverse proxy), Varnish cache, Redis, Memcached, and PHP Opcache for optimal performance and high traffic. How I Work: I tailor each setup to the specific client environment and business goals. I focus on clean, efficient architecture and proactive optimization to ensure maximum uptime and predictable costs. Ongoing monitoring and maintenance are available under retainer.
