The SysAdmin Who Fixes What He Audits Your infrastructure is critical. Whether it's a server down at 3 AM, a DevOps pipeline that needs to be bulletproofed, or a NIS2 compliance deadline three weeks away — you need someone who understands both the code and the consequences. I'm Giuseppe. 12+ years managing production Linux infrastructure for hosting providers, SaaS platforms, and enterprise environments. ISO 27001 & ISO 9001 Lead Auditor certified (IBC/ACCREDIA accredited). I don't hand you a report and disappear. I implement the fix. 🔧 LINUX INFRASTRUCTURE & DEVOPS Server Administration & Performance - Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS/Rocky, AlmaLinux) — tuning, troubleshooting, production hardening - Apache/Nginx optimization, Varnish, database performance (MySQL/MariaDB replication) - Virtualization: Proxmox clusters, KVM, LXC containers DevOps & Automation - CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, Ansible playbooks - Custom monitoring and alerting systems (Zabbix, Prometheus, Grafana) - Backup architecture with integrity verification and disaster recovery testing Web Hosting Platforms - cPanel/WHM expert, Plesk, DirectAdmin, ISPConfig - Mail systems: Postfix/Dovecot, spam filtering, deliverability and reputation repair - High-availability and load-balanced web environments (HAProxy, Nginx upstream) Cloud & Migrations - AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, bare-metal datacenter - Zero-downtime migrations — including 50GB+ mail servers with zero data loss - BGP routing, datacenter networking (Huawei VRP, GRE tunnels, failover) 🔐 SECURITY & COMPLIANCE Infrastructure Security - Firewall design and deployment: OPNsense, pfSense, iptables/nftables - Server hardening, intrusion detection, DDoS mitigation - Incident response, forensic analysis, post-breach recovery Compliance & Auditing - ISO 27001 Lead Auditor — IBC/ACCREDIA accredited certification - ISO 9001 Lead Auditor - NIS2 / D.Lgs. 138/2024 compliance assessment and implementation roadmap - GDPR technical measures — real infrastructure changes, not just documentation - ISMS implementation for SMBs (practical, scalable, without enterprise overhead) Why this matters: most compliance consultants understand the framework, not the stack. I run the gap analysis and implement the remediation. One engagement, not two. 🎯 WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT No fluff communication — I tell you exactly what is broken, why, and what it costs to fix. Production-safe approach — changes tested and staged before touching live systems. Full documentation — every engagement ends with clear, human-readable documentation your team can use without me. Long-term architecture thinking — I build systems to last, not patches to close tickets. 🏆 RECENT WINS E-commerce platform: page load 8 seconds to 800ms (10x improvement) Stopped a 500K+ req/s DDoS without service interruption Automated backup testing pipeline — caught 6 silent backup corruptions before disaster NIS2 compliance roadmap for Italian SMB: full implementation in 4 weeks ISO 27001 gap analysis: 87 findings, fully remediated and compliant in 3 months BGP migration from legacy ISP to dual-transit with zero downtime 📋 WHEN TO HIRE ME Emergency situations: - Server down or severely degraded - Active breach, hacked server, malware containment - Failed deployment with business impact Planned projects: - Infrastructure audit and security hardening - ISO 27001 / NIS2 compliance implementation - DevOps pipeline setup or optimization - Cloud or bare-metal migration - Ongoing managed infrastructure with real SLAs NOT a good fit if you need someone who rubber-stamps a checklist and moves on. I dig into root causes and fix them properly. This takes slightly longer and costs more. It is worth it. 📬 AVAILABILITY Taking new projects — limited capacity for ongoing engagements. Emergency response: typically within 4-6 hours on business days. Message me with your specific problem, timeline, and budget. I respond with clear next steps, no vague proposals.

Hello, I'm Luca, glad to 'virtually' know you, I'm here offering professional translation, proofreading and MPTE services. More recently, I've also joined the AI model training world, so I'm interested in those projects too. About me: I've traveled a lot around Europe as a tourist, and most important, I've lived a lot of years in Spain and Ireland. Talking Spanish and English every single day, in life and job (for important companies such BPM bank, Allianz and Agbar), is the best certification and experience you can have. I'm a guy with a lot of different interests, I've worked as a programmer in the past, and in a lot of different roles in restaurants. I'm expanding my passion and experience in bakery right now. I'm passionate about photography, music, reading, walking in open air. I love to know different cultures and lifestyles, I'm an open minded guy and I'm totally dedicated to this passion/job. From English/Spanish to Italian (native). Price for word will be around 0,03$ for word (could be lower or higher depending on urgency and complexity of content). My experience with languages, is not the one of the translator that has only studied, but the one of a person living abroad and using those languages everyday. I'm reliable, methodical and accurate, please trust me and I won't let you down.
