System administration and DevOps

Servers, cloud and services need to run stably and predictably. I help organise infrastructure: monitoring, backups, availability and day-to-day maintenance — with clear procedures and a plan for incident response.

Let's organise your infrastructure

Project kickoff

  1. 1Inventory of servers, services, domains and access
  2. 2Current-state assessment: monitoring, backups, updates, past incidents
  3. 3A clean-up plan with quick wins and longer-term steps
  4. 4Implementation: configuration, automation, testing

I handle design and delivery directly — with contact through analysis, delivery and further development.

Who it is for

  • Companies with servers or cloud but no dedicated admin
  • Dev teams that want to focus on the product, not SSH at 2 a.m.
  • Projects after launch — takeover or ongoing maintenance support
  • Organisations before an audit that need to tidy up access and backups
Go to the contact form

Problems I solve

  • Nobody knows if a server is low on disk space until the app goes down
  • A backup exists "somewhere on disk," with no restore test
  • Every system update feels like a lottery
  • A former employee still has access to production

Scope of work

Monitoring: metrics, logs, alerts (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, cloud-native)
Backups and restore testing — a backup that actually works
Hardening: updates, firewall, SSH, access control
Docker, Docker Compose; basic Kubernetes where it makes sense
Infrastructure documentation and runbooks for the team

How collaboration works

  1. Inventory of servers, services, domains and access
  2. Current-state assessment: monitoring, backups, updates, past incidents
  3. A clean-up plan with quick wins and longer-term steps
  4. Implementation: configuration, automation, testing
  5. Knowledge transfer plus optional ongoing support (retainer)

What you get

  • Working monitoring with meaningful alerts (fewer false positives)
  • Configured and tested backups
  • Documented infrastructure and procedures
  • Hardening recommendations and a maintenance plan

FAQ

Do you take over administration of existing servers?

Yes — I start with a state audit and a safe access handover, without downtime.

Which platforms do you work with?

Linux VPS, Hetzner, OVH, AWS, GCP at a basic level, and Netlify/Vercel for web applications.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes — a monthly retainer covers monitoring, updates, backups and alert response.

Do you configure Docker and containers?

Yes — docker-compose on a VPS, basic orchestration and safe image practices.

What about access security?

I apply least privilege, SSH keys, 2FA where possible and regular permission reviews.

Does this connect with a security audit?

Often, yes — organised infrastructure makes audits and pentests easier, and an audit points to admin priorities.
