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. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CERTIFICATIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer – Associate AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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.
