📞 Invite me to your Upwork job to book a free consultation call.
I’m not your average tech. As a member of your team, I go above and beyond to provide you with an exceptional experience:
✅ Unparalleled reliability, patience, communication & professionalism
✅ Over a decade of server/system administration experience
✅ 100% track record with over 5,000 Upwork hours
✅ Exceptional problem-solving skills
✅ Very fast learner of new technologies
Here are just a few of the technologies & service providers that I have extensive experience working with:
🛠 Amazon Web Services AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, Route53, Lamda, +)
🛠 Google Cloud Platform & Google Suite Administrator
🛠 Azure Cloud Architect & Server Administrator
🛠 Digital Ocean, Linode, Godaddy, Bluehost, Hostgator & many other hosts
🛠 cPanel/WHM, Plesk, Webmin, DirectAdmin, No Panel Servers
🛠 LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
⚡ I am fully insured with $1,000,000 in professional liability coverage. Anyone touching your critical servers should be!
I specialize in server & application security, performance optimization, and on-demand support services. However, the list doesn’t end there.
I’ve spent every working day of the past decade putting out fires. I’ve dealt with hacked servers & websites, mission-critical technical failures, application failures, and many other issues.
It has been my utmost pleasure to take on the challenge of both resolving the technical issues while providing customer service with a smile during the most difficult of times.
Being the best in class, excellence requires effort. Simply meeting expectations is not sufficient. Anticipating and satisfying one’s unknown needs is what makes for an incredible consultant. Beyond my technical skills, these are lessons the past decade has afforded me.
