As a Network Engineer with more than five years of experience in ISP, MSP, and enterprise environments, I have developed strong expertise in designing, implementing, troubleshooting, and optimizing complex network infrastructures.
My experience includes managing service provider and enterprise networks, configuring and maintaining routers, switches, firewalls, and network security solutions, as well as implementing scalable architectures using technologies such as BGP, OSPF, MPLS, VPNs, VLANs, QinQ, LACP, and High Availability solutions.
I have extensive hands-on experience with equipment from leading vendors including Cisco, Juniper, MikroTik, Huawei, Arista, Datacom, Ubiquiti, and FS. Additionally, I possess strong system administration skills, including Windows Server, Active Directory, Linux administration, Proxmox virtualization, Asterisk PBX, and VoIP systems.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering and several industry-recognized certifications, including JNCIA, JNCIS-SP, MTCNA, MTCRE, and MTCINE. I am also fluent in both Spanish and English (C1 level), allowing me to work effectively in international and multicultural environments.

Over 20 years hands-on with GNU/Linux and 10+ years delivering remote IT solutions for international clients, I specialize in on-premise and hybrid infrastructure: bare-metal servers, advanced networking, virtualization, self-hosted services, and disaster recovery — with data sovereignty and business continuity as first-order requirements, not afterthoughts.
I work across the full stack of a physical deployment, from hardware and network topology up through the services running on it — solving problems purely cloud-native engineers often can't, which is why clients keep me on for years, not weeks.
I take on engagements of very different sizes: full builds and migrations, but also focused audits, one-off configuration work, and ongoing "call me when something breaks" support. Not sure your project fits? Ask — I'd rather tell you honestly than take the wrong scope.
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Bare-Metal Management & Virtualization
Deployment, configuration, thermal optimization, and administration of high-performance physical servers.
Stack: GNU/Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux), Proxmox VE, Unraid, VMware ESXi, QEMU/KVM.
Advanced Networking & Perimeter Security
Design of secure topologies, VLAN segmentation, traffic optimization, and failover/load-balancing — including in remote or hard-to-reach environments.
Stack: MikroTik (RouterOS), pfSense, OpenWRT, WireGuard, OpenVPN, Tailscale, ZeroTier.
Container Orchestration & CI/CD
Microservices architecture and pipeline implementation to automate the software lifecycle.
Stack: Docker, Docker Compose, Portainer, Gitea Actions, Sonatype Nexus.
Data Sovereignty & Enterprise Self-Hosting
Private, self-hosted deployments under strict privacy requirements, with proactive monitoring.
Stack: Gitea, Nextcloud, Bitwarden/Vaultwarden, Alloy, Prometheus, Loki, Grafana.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Automated, immutable backup architectures — tested, not just configured.
Stack: BTRFS, Restic, AWS S3, Backblaze B2.
Centralized Authentication (SSO)
User management, permissions, and identity integration across on-premise, hybrid, and corporate domains.
Stack: OpenLDAP, Active Directory, MS Entra.
Industrial & Commercial Product Engineering
Linux OS integration for commercial/industrial hardware, physical/virtual test bench design for remote testing and monitoring, and Q&A validation across the product lifecycle.
Stack: SaltStack, custom Linux ISO builds, VPN/PKI certificate lifecycle automation.
Technical Leadership & Advisory
Direct ownership of architecture and security decisions within cross-functional teams — from strategic advisory through hands-on implementation, without dedicated management structure. Comfortable operating independently under open-ended, high-pressure mandates.
KEY ACHIEVEMENT — DISASTER RECOVERY UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS
In 2022, a data center I managed was caught inside an active conflict zone in Eastern Europe, facing imminent risk of destruction with no advance warning.
I planned and remotely executed a full migration to Hetzner cloud — while the hardware was being dismantled on-site under threat of bombardment — improvising a temporary network topology and standing up a high-availability cluster with minimal downtime.
Result: zero loss of corporate data. Once the hardware crossed international borders, I remotely coordinated its re-deployment to a new, secure data center in the European Union — again with zero data loss.
REMOTE RELIABILITY
10+ years remote-first means my home infrastructure meets the same standard I deploy for clients: high-capacity UPS backup, redundant internet connections, and monitored uptime — so "I work remotely" doesn't mean "I might disappear mid-incident."
AVAILABILITY
Current availability: 20 hours/week (up to 30 during busier periods).
Working window: 18:00–10:00 CET/CEST — overlaps comfortably with US Eastern and US Pacific business hours, plus full-day overlap with Central Europe.
RATE
Anchor rate: $35/hour (hourly contracts). Fixed-price available on request for scoped audits or one-off configuration work.
SERVICES
- Planning, deployment, and configuration of new on-premise or hybrid infrastructures.
- Maintenance, scaling, and migration of existing infrastructures.
- Infrastructure audits and focused troubleshooting (smaller-scope engagements welcome).
- Networking & perimeter security design (VLANs, failover, VPN).
- Backup architecture and disaster recovery planning/testing.
- SSO / identity integration (on-prem, hybrid, cloud).
- OS customization / rebranding, test bench design, and QA support for embedded/commercial hardware products.
- Long-term B2B strategic consulting.
