Let's get it started

Launch. Secure. Optimize. Automate.

If you need something that's not listed, ask, I've probably done it, or I'll tell you honestly if I haven't.

System Administration
& Monitoring

Server provisioning, security hardening, patching, monitoring, incident response? INCIDENT RESPONSE The practice of responding to and managing a system failure or security breach to restore normal operations. . The boring stuff that keeps your site from falling over at 2 AM.

  • Linux server setup and hardening (Nginx, Apache, MySQL, Postgres)
  • Monitoring and alerting (self-hosted or Lightstep/Datadog)
  • Backup strategy and disaster recovery planning
  • incident response? INCIDENT RESPONSE The practice of responding to and managing a system failure or security breach to restore normal operations. and post-mortems? POST-MORTEMS A post-incident analysis to understand what went wrong, why, and how to prevent it from happening again.

DevOps Automation
& CI/CD

Building pipelines that actually work. Automated deploys, testing, and rollback strategies so deploying isn't a group prayer session.

  • CI/CD? CI/CD Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment, automated testing and delivery pipelines that deploy code changes quickly and reliably. pipelines (Jenkins, Ansible, Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions)
  • IaC? IAC Managing infrastructure (servers, networks, configs) through machine-readable definition files rather than manual processes. (Terraform, Ansible, Packer)
  • Automated testing and deployment strategies
  • Containerization? CONTAINERIZATION Packaging software with its dependencies into isolated, portable containers (e.g., Docker) for consistent behavior across environments. with Docker and orchestration? ORCHESTRATION Automated management and coordination of containers (e.g., Kubernetes), scaling, networking, and keeping things running without manual intervention. basics

Cloud Infrastructure
& Cost Optimization

AWS, DigitalOcean, or whatever you're running on. I'll help you design, migrate, and right-size, no upsells, no services you don't need.

  • Cloud architecture design and migration
  • Cost reviews and right-sizing (most teams can cut 20-40%)
  • Performance tuning and scalability planning
  • Security audits and compliance groundwork

Data Shaping
& Migration Prep

Got a CSV mess, a platform migration, or data that needs wrangling into something usable? I do the boring ETL? ETL Extract, Transform, Load, taking data from one place, cleaning it up, and putting it somewhere useful. work nobody wants, normalize, validate, transform, load.

  • CSV/JSON/XML wrangling and normalization
  • Platform-to-platform data migration
  • Database imports, dedup, and cleanup
  • Scripted transformations for repeatable workflows

How we work together

One-off Projects

Have a specific migration, audit, or pipeline to build? Fixed scope, fixed price, done right.

Monthly Retainers

Ongoing support, monitoring, and maintenance. You get a dedicated ops person without the full-time salary.

Advisory Hours

Need a sounding board? Block out a few hours a month to review architecture, strategy, or incident post-mortems? POST-MORTEMS A post-incident analysis to understand what went wrong, why, and how to prevent it from happening again. .

Not sure what you need?

That's fine. Send me a message and we'll figure it out together.
