3+ years of experience — DMARC/SPF/DKIM hardening, mail server configuration, sender reputation recovery. I architect resilient cloud infrastructure across AWS/Azure/GCP/Huawei Cloud Stack. I secure WordPress sites, optimize WooCommerce, configure Cloudflare for speed and protection, and build production web applications. 30+ projects. Your emails land in spam? I diagnose and fix authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC at p=reject), warm up domain reputation, configure mail servers (Postfix, Dovecot, MailCow), and monitor deliverability across Gmail, Yahoo, Microsoft. Typical result: 95%+ inbox placement within 2–3 weeks. Your infrastructure is fragile? I architect resilient systems on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Huawei Cloud Stack with proper backups, monitoring (Prometheus + Grafana), redundancy, and disaster recovery. No more 3AM incidents. Your WordPress site gets hacked? I harden security (2FA, disable file editing, malware cleanup, weekly scans), optimize performance (caching, CDN, PHP 8.2+), configure WooCommerce conversions, and set up Cloudflare DDoS + WAF protection. Your infrastructure doesn’t scale? I design resilient, scalable systems — Kubernetes clusters with Pod Security Standards and RBAC, Terraform IaC, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD), and cost optimization (20–30% typical savings). Your team can’t maintain what you built? I document everything. You’ll understand how it works and how to run it independently.
