Server work that earns its keep

Three focused areas — infrastructure, automation, and tooling — backed by 12+ years keeping production hosting stable. Clear scope, honest timelines, clean handoff. No retainers for the sake of it.

  • 12+ Years in Linux ops
  • 1K+ Servers managed
  • 99.9% Uptime SLA target
01

Hosting Infrastructure

Provision, harden, migrate — and keep it up.

End-to-end Linux server administration for production hosting — from provisioning and control-panel setup to hardening, migrations, and the ongoing work that keeps uptime high.

What I do

  • Linux VPS and dedicated server provisioning, configuration, and tuning
  • cPanel, DirectAdmin, and WHMCS administration and migrations
  • Security hardening: firewall rules, malware response, SSL, and access control

What you get

  • A server that's set up and performance-tuned from day one
  • Firewall configuration, vulnerability review, and a clear incident-response path
  • Migration plans with minimal downtime and clean handoff documentation

Automation & Ops Tooling

Kill the repetitive work before it kills your evening.

Bash scripts, admin utilities, and diagnostic tools that strip manual overhead out of day-to-day hosting work — from routine maintenance to faster incident response.

What I do

  • Custom shell scripts for server management and routine automation
  • Diagnostic and benchmarking utilities for first-pass troubleshooting
  • Operational tooling that shortens support response time

What you get

  • Repeatable, documented scripts for the work you keep doing by hand
  • Public and internal utilities that make diagnostics faster
  • Practical workflows that cut manual effort and human error

Product & Utility Development

One tool, one job, done cleanly.

Lightweight PHP applications, browser extensions, and network utilities built to solve one specific real-world problem — no unnecessary complexity, no over-engineering.

What I do

  • Core PHP tools: IP lookup, subnet calculators, benchmark interfaces
  • Chrome extensions for password generation, DNS checks, and IP tasks
  • Public-facing utilities that turn operational expertise into usable products

What you get

  • Lean PHP applications with a clear purpose and low maintenance overhead
  • Browser tools that do one practical job cleanly and stay out of the way
  • Shipped products — not prototypes — that real users can rely on

How we work together

A predictable path from “here’s the problem” to “it’s handled” — the same on a one-off fix or a long migration.

  1. 01

    Scope

    A short brief or call to understand your stack, the real problem, and what a good outcome looks like.

  2. 02

    Plan

    A clear plan — steps, risks, rollback and timeline — agreed before anything touches production.

  3. 03

    Execute

    Hands-on work with checkpoints. You see progress; nothing changes on your servers silently.

  4. 04

    Handoff

    Documentation, access cleanup and a clear path for what comes next. No lock-in, no mystery.

Ways to work with me

Pick the shape that fits — or tell me the problem and I’ll suggest one.

Fixed-scope project

A defined deliverable — a migration, a hardening pass, a new server build — with agreed scope and timeline.

Hourly / ad-hoc

Targeted help for a single task, or a second pair of expert eyes on a problem you are stuck on.

Ongoing retainer

Reserved monthly capacity for maintenance, monitoring and the steady work that keeps uptime high.

Emergency response

Something is down or compromised — fast, focused incident response and recovery.
