Need someone who can manage your Linux infrastructure and actually knows what's happening below the application layer? I'm Shivam, a Linux systems engineer and DevOps specialist with 5+ years of experience, and a contributor to the Linux kernel mainline. I build, secure, and debug Linux servers and cloud infrastructure with the kind of low-level systems knowledge most DevOps engineers don't have.

As an actual contributor to the Linux kernel mainline, I can dig into problems most admins can't, kernel-level memory issues, driver conflicts, and performance bottlenecks below the application layer, not just symptom-level fixes.

This is the part most Linux freelancers can't say: I've had patches merged into the actual Linux kernel. My work has included fixing how `vrealloc()` releases physical memory pages when shrinking allocations (it previously only updated bookkeeping), adding memory-shrinking support to a Rust kernel data structure, and a related optimization in the Rust binder driver, plus hardware-specific display/backlight driver fixes. The work was reviewed and signed off by core Linux maintainers, including Andrew Morton, the longtime maintainer of the kernel's memory-management subsystem.
In practical terms: if your issue is below what a typical sysadmin can diagnose, an odd kernel panic, a memory leak invisible to application logs, a misbehaving driver, I can read the kernel source and actually fix it.

โ Working with Shivam was a fantastic experience. His expertise in performance-oriented languages like Rust and C++ was a game-changer for our project. He delivered a highly efficient and meticulously optimized solution, demonstrating a rare talent for deep, logical problem-solving at the systems level. What impressed me most was his ability to connect this low-level expertise with high-level strategic thinking. He doesn't just understand the algorithms; he has the foundation to make them run incredibly fast. Highly recommend for any demanding technical role. โ
