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.
