Services
Production-grade automation and infrastructure work for teams that need it done right.
I help small teams and growing companies automate their Linux infrastructure, harden their systems, and build observability into their stack. If you don’t have a dedicated DevOps engineer — or your team is stretched thin and needs extra hands — I can step in and get the work done.
Everything I offer comes from production experience, not certification courses. I’ve managed Rocky Linux infrastructure for enterprise ecommerce, built self-hosted ELK stacks, deployed OKD clusters, and automated server provisioning end-to-end with Ansible. I bring that same approach to every engagement.
What I Do
Write and deploy Ansible playbooks that automate server provisioning, configuration management, package deployment, and application setup. Go from manual runbooks to repeatable, version-controlled infrastructure.
Lock down Rocky Linux and RHEL systems — Duo 2FA, SSH hardening, firewall rules, TLS certificate management, and Microsoft Defender integration. Security that's automated and consistent across every host.
Deploy and configure ELK Stack, Checkmk, and Grafana with InfluxDB. Centralized logging, real-time dashboards, and alerting so you see problems before your users do.
Build and configure OKD/OpenShift or Kubernetes clusters with Rook/Ceph storage, Istio service mesh, and MetalLB load balancing. Production-grade container infrastructure, automated with Ansible.
Scope
These aren't case studies — they're descriptions of the kind of work I do. Every environment is different, but these give you a sense of scope.
Write Ansible playbooks to handle OS configuration, package installation, security hardening, and application deployment for your Rocky Linux or RHEL fleet. Reduce new server setup from days to under an hour.
Deploy a self-hosted ELK stack with multi-node Elasticsearch, Logstash pipelines, Kibana dashboards, and Apache reverse proxy with TLS. Cut your logging costs while keeping full observability.
Roll out Duo two-factor authentication across your infrastructure with an Ansible playbook that handles installation, SSH integration, and consistent configuration. Ship it in a day, not a sprint.
Deploy Grafana with InfluxDB for time-series metrics, Apache reverse proxy for secure access, and LDAP authentication for your team. Real-time visibility into system health without a SaaS bill.
Build an OKD/Kubernetes cluster from scratch with persistent storage (Rook/Ceph), service mesh (Istio), and load balancing (MetalLB). Give your dev team a production-like environment to ship against.
Pricing
Engagements typically start with a short call to scope the work. I'll give you an honest estimate and a fixed quote — no hourly billing surprises. Most projects are 1–5 days of work.
Let's Talk
Every engagement starts with a conversation. Tell me what you're working with and what you need, and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help and what it'll take.
