Hello! I'm Dimitris — an electrical engineer turned IT specialist who pairs hands-on infrastructure expertise with an engineer's problem-solving mindset. I hold a BSc in Electrical Engineering (Computer Systems) and am completing an MSc in System Informatics & Project Management, backed by 7+ years administering enterprise environments.
At the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), I led mail-system migrations for 9,000+ accounts (Exchange 2013 → 2019 → Microsoft 365) with zero data loss and minimal downtime, and reduced administrative workload by 30–40% through automation.
What I offer:
Microsoft 365 & Exchange — migrations, hybrid identity (Entra ID / AAD Connect), Exchange Online administration
System administration — Windows Server, VMware ESXi, Linux; provisioning, performance tuning, backup & archiving
Networking & troubleshooting — AD, DNS, DHCP, firewalls, switches
Automation & monitoring — PowerShell, Bash, Python; monitoring with tools like Icinga2
Project management — Agile & Waterfall delivery, risk management, clear documentation
Mentorship & leadership — guiding junior admins and establishing troubleshooting best practices
Certified in Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900), Exchange Server & Online Administration (MS-203), Windows Server 2019, and Microsoft 365 Security Essentials.
I approach every project the way an engineer does: find the root cause, design a clean solution, and document it so it lasts. Whether you need someone to own a migration end-to-end or strengthen an existing team, I communicate clearly, deliver reliably, and I'm always eager to learn new tools and take on unfamiliar challenges.
Ready to help you build secure, scalable, and dependable IT. Let's talk!

I am a professional System Administrator with strong hands-on experience in Linux and Windows server environments, cloud infrastructure, and modern hosting setups.
I currently work as an IT System Administrator and manage complete production environments, including Microsoft 365, Linux servers, WordPress hosting, DNS, email infrastructure, and security-critical systems. My focus is always on stability, security, and solutions that work reliably in real-world business environments.
What I do best:
- Linux server administration (Ubuntu)
- Cloud and VPS environments
- WordPress hosting and troubleshooting
- DNS, SSL, email, and domain configuration
- Server security hardening and monitoring
- Performance optimization and problem analysis
- Ongoing maintenance and on-demand support
I work very pragmatically:
I analyze problems quickly, explain issues clearly, and fix them without unnecessary complexity.
Many of my projects are not one-time tasks but ongoing, as-needed support roles. I strongly believe that servers, email systems, and hosting environments must be maintained continuously to stay secure and performant. That’s why I often work as a long-term technical partner rather than just a short-term contractor.
In addition to my client work, I run a technical YouTube channel where I openly share system administration, self-hosting, and infrastructure knowledge:
www[DOT]youtube[DOT]com/@thesysadminhub
This channel reflects how I work: transparent, practical, and focused on real solutions instead of theory.
You can also learn more about my services and background here:

If you are looking for a reliable system administrator who can support your infrastructure on-demand, troubleshoot issues efficiently, and help keep your systems stable and secure over the long term, I would be happy to work with you.
