Professional Services
I build and run production systems for tech companies and small businesses — Linux infrastructure and secure hosting, modern websites, CI/CD and release automation, and Ansible-driven configuration management. Reliable, secure, and documented work, from first commit to live deploy.
Infrastructure & Hosting
Provisioning, web servers, TLS, and the operational glue that keeps sites up and secure.
A live site served from a hardened Apache virtual host: trusted Let's Encrypt TLS with automatic renewal, forced HTTP→HTTPS, HSTS, a tuned Content-Security-Policy, and the rest of the modern security-header set — all on a shared document root managed without ever disturbing the neighbouring sites.
A privacy-respecting, historical traffic dashboard built on GoAccess with an on-disk database. A custom ingestion script feeds only new log bytes (rotation-aware, no double counting), a cron job refreshes it on a schedule, and the report is locked behind HTTP Basic Auth with its own scoped CSP.
Web Development
Hand-built front-ends with a real design system — no bloated frameworks, no tracking baggage.
A responsive marketing site built on a custom CSS design system: a data-driven project catalog with tag filters, generated SVG artwork, complete SEO (JSON-LD, Open Graph, sitemap, OG images) and accessibility baked in — skip links, focus states, and reduced-motion support.
Source documents turned into polished, readable web pages — themed typography, sticky tables of contents with scroll-spy, responsive tables, callouts and stat-block cards. Great for documentation, handbooks, and long technical content.
CI/CD & Release Automation
Automated builds, automated checks, and one-command deploys that are safe to run again and again.
An idempotent release script: per-item rsync with scoped ownership fixes (safe on a shared host), config validation before reload, and post-deploy health checks. Deploying is one command — and running it twice changes nothing it shouldn't.
A Python build pipeline that turns source documents into clean semantic HTML, paired with a dependency-free resilience suite — 200+ checks covering markup integrity, broken links and missing assets, security headers, path-traversal, and malformed-input handling — gating every change before it goes live.
Configuration Management
Reproducible servers from a clean image — described in version-controlled playbooks, not tribal knowledge.
Idempotent Ansible playbooks that bring a fresh host to production: packages and users, SSH and firewall hardening, web server and TLS, and automated certificate renewal. Run them against one box or a fleet — the result is the same, every time, and reviewable in git.
Ongoing care for the servers you depend on: scheduled patching, certificate and renewal monitoring, log review, backups, and a documented runbook so the next person (or the future you) can pick it up without guesswork.
Toolkit
Whether it's standing up infrastructure, building a site, automating deploys, or taming a tangle of manual steps — let's talk about what you need.
