Independent Linux Systems Administrator for hire
In Short...
From building a web presence to cloud server administration, I leverage the utilty of the LAMP Stack to create both dynamic & static websites and employ server daemons for network services.
LAMP Developer:
Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP
A LAMP Developer uses the GNU/Linux Operating System, the Apache Web Server, the MariaDB or MySQL database and the PHP, Perl & Python Programming Languages to create dynamic web pages.
Together these components make up the LAMP Stack, a commonly used platform for Web Developers creating server side web applications.
Systems Administration:
As a Systems Admnistrator I setup & oversee Linux server daemons for network services. Some examples are Apache ( Web Server ), MySQL || MariaDB ( database ), & UFW ( Firewall ).
I am focusing on Ubuntu and Debian Linux as my distributions of choice. I use a number of command line utilities / programs and Perl scripting to automate tasks & monitor server and network metrics.
Backups, login monitoring, log monitoring / graphing, IP blocking, scheduling jobs, daemon configuration setup & testing, encryption, vendor support ticketing, domain registrar management, patches & upgrades, open source.
I have a strong familiarity with Cloud Computing Platforms: Akamai Linode, DigitalOcean, Vultr & Amazon Lightsail AWS.
