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

AWSEC2VPCIAMS3RDSRoute 53CloudFrontCloudWatchWAF
  • 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

LinuxDockerDocker ComposeLXC/LXDNginxReverse proxysystemd
  • 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 ActionsGitLab CIJenkinsDocker RegistryDeployment scriptsRollback notes
  • Build release flows that are repeatable, inspectable, and easier to roll back.
  • Connect build, test, image, and deployment steps into practical pipelines.
  • Keep release notes and handover instructions clear for operations teams.
04
Operational visibility

Monitoring & Incident

ZabbixUptime KumaCloudWatchCloudflare alertsWordfenceLog review
  • Set up uptime, server, website, and service checks with useful alert routing.
  • 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

  • Design backup jobs with retention, cleanup, status reporting, and restore paths.
  • Align backup workflows with practical RTO/RPO expectations.
  • Create recovery runbooks that make restore actions less risky under pressure.
06
Access and exposure control

Security & Edge

  • Harden common entry points across DNS, edge, server access, and identity.
  • Apply least-privilege thinking to infrastructure and operations workflows.
  • Improve email authentication and reduce operational exposure from misconfiguration.

Less manual work

Automation & AI Ops

  • Connect apps, alerts, documents, and business events into reliable workflows.
  • Build AI-assisted operations flows with human review where risk is higher.
  • Turn repeated support and admin tasks into maintainable automation.

Operational integration

Business Systems
