Whether you are running a local startup or managing a large-scale enterprise data center, I offer the technical expertise required to keep your systems stable, secure, and lightning-fast.
While I am proud to support the Minneapolis tech community, all services are available 100% remotely, allowing for immediate incident response and global infrastructure management without the need for an on-site visit.
I offer expert-level support for all major Linux distributions, ensuring your specific environment is optimized:
Enterprise: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLES), Oracle Linux.
Community/Server: Ubuntu Server, Debian, CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux.
Specialized/Cloud: Amazon Linux, Fedora, Arch Linux, Alpine Linux, Gentoo.
I handle the heavy lifting of initial deployments and ongoing maintenance:
Installation & Upgrades: Seamless OS transitions and kernel updates.
Hardening: Establishing secure baseline configurations.
Identity Management: Expert user/group control via SSH and sudo policies.
Dependency Management: Clean package handling using apt, dnf, yum, and zypper.
I ensure your hardware works for you, not against you:
Resource Optimization: Fine-tuning CPU, memory, disk, and I/O.

I protect your data with multi-layered defense strategies:

Scripting: Custom Bash and Python automation for repetitive tasks.
CI/CD: Standardized builds and operational runbooks.
I optimize the stack sitting on top of the OS:
Web/Mail: Nginx, Apache, Postfix, and Exim management.
Databases: Performance tuning for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.
Navigating different distributions requires knowing the right "flavor" of command.
| Task | Debian/Ubuntu | RHEL/CentOS/Rocky | Arch Linux |
| Update Repos | sudo apt update | sudo dnf check-update | sudo pacman -Sy |
| Install Package | sudo apt install [pkg] | sudo dnf install [pkg] | sudo pacman -S [pkg] |
| Check Services | systemctl status [svc] | systemctl status [svc] | systemctl status [svc] |
| Network Info | ip addr show | nmcli device show | ip link |
Fix: Ensure your private key has the correct permissions. Run chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa. Also, check /etc/ssh/sshd_config to ensure PubkeyAuthentication is set to yes.
/var/log)
Fix: Use du -sh /var/log/* to find the culprit. Clear old journal logs with journalctl --vacuum-time=7d.
Use LVM (Logical Volume Management): Always partition with LVM. It allows you to resize partitions later without reformatting.
Disable Root Login: Never allow direct root SSH access. Use a standard user with sudo privileges and SSH keys.
Document Everything: Maintain a "Change Log" for every configuration tweak. This is vital for troubleshooting months down the line.
Automate Early: Even for a single server, use a basic Ansible playbook for the initial hardening so your "Gold Image" is repeatable.
