I build reliable, self-hosted infrastructure that just works — no surprise bills, no mystery outages. By day, I'm a data center technician at AWS, where I rack, repair, and troubleshoot the hardware and networks behind some of the largest cloud services on earth. Off the clock, I run my own multi-node setup: a Proxmox cluster, Dockerized services behind reverse proxies, self-hosted AI tools, and a network of dedicated game servers — all with proper DNS, firewalls, and monitoring. I don't just read about this stuff. I run it every day. Here's how I can help you: 🎮 Game Server Hosting — Dedicated FiveM, Minecraft, and more, with connect setup, mods/scripting, and an easy management panel for your admins. 🐧 Linux & Self-Hosting — Proxmox, Docker/Compose, LXC containers, server hardening, backups, and monitoring done right. 🌐 Web Hosting & Domains — Websites, DNS (Cloudflare), SSL, reverse proxies (Nginx / Traefik / Cloudflare Tunnel), and email that actually lands in the inbox (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). 🤖 Self-Hosted AI — Run local LLMs and AI apps on your own hardware for privacy and lower costs. Why clients work with me: I'm solution-oriented and detail-oriented, and I document everything I build — so you're never locked in, left guessing, or dependent on me forever. You get infrastructure you actually understand and own. Whether you need a one-time setup, ongoing management, or someone to untangle a setup that's gone sideways, I'd love to help. Send me a message and tell me what you're trying to build.

PLEASE NOTE: My hourly rate is high due to the fact I have a lot of small/often less-than-an-hour projects. For longer engagements I am flexible with my rate. *** I have over 20 years of LAMPish development and system administration (LAMP and Node.js apps.) I do this for my day job and as a hobby. My current focus is on AWS and Ubuntu-based stacks; however, I can work with any Linux distribution. A jack of many trades - in the system administration, devops, cloud, platform and site reliability engineering type roles. Various skills: System administration: AWS, VPSes (Linode and DO are my preferred providers), dedicated servers (Hetzner, Softlayer/IBM), everything in between. I've done it all from hardware selection, racking, configuring/deploying, and maintaining. AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner - EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, SES, VPCs, and more - using console, API and CLI. Nginx, Apache, PHP, Bash scripting, Postfix, Memcached, Redis, Ubuntu, CentOS, Amazon Linux, Varnish, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, Circle CI, Kubernetes, Docker, Argo CD.
