Production skills, operating outcomes
A practical map of the systems I can design, deploy, monitor, secure, automate, and hand over with clear operating notes.

Capability map Built for production operations
Each capability below connects tools to actual deliverables: infrastructure that runs, alerts that help, backups that can restore, and automations that reduce manual work.
01
Infrastructure foundation
Cloud & AWS AWS EC2 VPC IAM S3 RDS Route 53 CloudFront CloudWatch WAF
Design secure cloud foundations for small and growing systems. Set up DNS, SSL, storage, access, and deployment paths with clear ownership. Document operating steps so teams can maintain the system after handover. 02
Runtime operations
Linux & Containers Linux Docker Docker Compose LXC/LXD Nginx Reverse proxy systemd
Deploy and maintain production Linux workloads with predictable service behavior. Containerize apps and internal tools without overcomplicating the runtime. Investigate resource, process, network, SSL, and service-level issues. 03
Deployment reliability
CI/CD & Release GitHub Actions GitLab CI Jenkins Artifact registry Environment gates Rollback runbook
Build release flows that are repeatable, inspectable, and easier to roll back. Connect source, build, test, immutable artifact, deployment, and post-deploy validation into practical pipelines. Keep release notes and handover instructions clear for operations teams. 04
Operational visibility
Observability & Incident Response Zabbix Uptime Kuma CloudWatch Metrics Structured logs Tracing concepts Alert routing
Collect useful metrics and logs, add traces where the workload supports them, and route actionable alerts. Create incident notes that explain symptoms, impact, cause, and next action. Reduce blind spots around DNS, SSL, mail, website, and infrastructure state. 05
Restore confidence
Backup & Disaster Recovery Kopia S3 / Wasabi LXD snapshots Independent backups Restore testing RTO / RPO
Use snapshots as short-lived restore points, with independent backups, retention, cleanup, and status reporting. Align backup workflows with practical RTO/RPO expectations. Test restores and document recovery runbooks so a successful backup job is not mistaken for recoverability. 06
Access and exposure control
Security & Edge Cloudflare WAF IAM VPN pfSense SSH hardening SPF DKIM DMARC
Harden common entry points across DNS, edge, server access, and identity. Apply least-privilege thinking to infrastructure and operations workflows. Configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for sender authentication and policy visibility without presenting them as a guarantee of inbox delivery. 07
Controlled agent operations
Automation & AI Ops n8n OpenClaw Hermes Agent MCP Webhooks AI agents RAG Qdrant Document parsing
Connect apps, alerts, documents, and business events into reliable workflows. Design self-hosted agent runtimes with scoped tools, memory, schedules, and human review where risk is higher. Turn repeated support and admin tasks into maintainable, observable automation. 08
Operational integration
Business Systems Odoo WordPress Google Workspace SharePoint Monday.com PDF/OCR Reports
Support business systems where infrastructure, documents, and workflows meet. Integrate files, APIs, notifications, and approval steps across daily operations. Keep client-facing systems stable, documented, and easier to troubleshoot. Runbook mindset What I try to leave behind
DevOps work is only useful when the next operator can understand the system. I focus on visibility, handover notes, and failure paths, not only setup.
Deployment and rollback checklist Backup status and restore path Monitoring alert response DNS, SSL, and Cloudflare change notes Incident summary and handover Automation ownership and failure handling
