I am a seasoned IT System Engineer with a broad coding background and a proven track record in setup systems and softwares, designing and managing robust infrastructure. My core expertise lies in:
✅Systems & Virtualization: Deep proficiency in Linux, server hardware, and virtualization technologies.
✅DevOps & Cloud Practices: Skilled in implementing DevOps principles, with experience in networking, DNS, and storage (RAID) solutions.
✅Embedded & IoT: Hands-on experience in embedded systems and IoT projects, from prototyping and soldering circuit boards to coding.
My tech stack:
• C, CPP, MIPS Assembly, QEMU and TCG Dev, Linux distro porting
• RHEL/CentOS/RockyLinux, Debian/Ubuntu, LoongArch Linux
• Apache, Nginx, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP, PHP-FPM, CA and SSL
• Python, Java, Objective C and iOS
• VMware vSphere, pfSense/OPNSense, OpenWRT, Prometheus, Cockpit
• Gitlab, Apache Subversion, Redmine, Jenkins, Docker
• NextCloud, ownCloud
A Comprehensive Technical Ecosystem: My experience is unified by a deep commitment to Free and Open-Source software. This spans the entire stack: from porting systems for IC design to operating GNU/Linux clusters; from server-side coding to mobile development; and from troubleshooting complex networks and RAID to implementing open-source alternatives to proprietary suites like Google Worksapce and Microsoft 365.
End-to-End Solution Delivery: I leverage this broad skill set to deliver complete solutions—whether it's applying foundational knowledge (like that of Internet root servers) to configure complex DNS for a new business site, or developing strategies to enhance efficiency by migrating to public clouds or building cost-effective private clouds.
Beyond technical know-how, I am driven by a passion for understanding the "why" behind systems. I am a meticulous professional who prioritizes client success through proactive communication and a detail-oriented approach. With an A-to-Z understanding of computers and networks, complemented by management experience, I am poised to deliver reliable and efficient service.
