Your server is down. Your team is stuck. Your infrastructure is holding your
business back. That's where I come in.
I'm a Senior Systems Administrator with 10+ years of hands-on experience
managing Linux and Windows server environments for enterprise-scale operations including 7 years at Nayatel, one of Pakistan's largest ISPs, where I
owned infrastructure serving thousands of concurrent users.
I've migrated complex on-premise systems to cloud environments with zero
downtime, hardened servers against real threats, and built automation pipelines
that eliminated hours of manual ops work every week.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT I HELP YOU WITH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Server Setup & Administration
Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL) and Windows Server provisioning, configuration,
patching, and troubleshooting. You get a stable, optimized server not just
one that's running.
Cloud Infrastructure (AWS & Azure)
Deployments, migrations, cost optimization, and ongoing management. I hold
AWS Solutions Architect and CloudOps certifications and have managed
multi-cloud environments in production.
Security & Hardening
Firewall configuration, OS hardening, intrusion detection (Wazuh, ELK Stack),
SSL/TLS, VPN setup, and penetration testing. I don't just set it up, I make
sure it stays locked down.
Automation & DevOps Support
Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines. Repetitive manual
tasks get automated. Deployments become consistent and reliable.
Database & Network Operations
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB administration. DNS management, email servers
(Zimbra, Axigen), routing, and VPN configuration.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME AGAIN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Most infrastructure freelancers disappear after delivery. I don't.
I document everything, explain what I did and why, and stay available
if something comes up after handoff. Two decades of enterprise ops work
taught me that reliability is the job, not just technical skill.
I keep communication clear and direct. No jargon dumps. No vague updates.
You'll always know exactly where things stand.

LET'S TALK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
If your infrastructure needs to be more stable, more secure, or better
managed, send me a message. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help
and what that looks like.
