Linux Systems Engineer
Problem Solver
Infrastructure Builder
After four decades working toward someone else’s goals, I’m now available to work toward yours.
I design, build, automate, and maintain resilient Linux infrastructure on-prem, in datacenter and across the cloud. I help organizations simplify complex systems, improve security and governance, while reducing cost and operational risk.
Decades of hands-on experience. Practical solutions. No nonsense.
WHAT I DO
Linux Systems Engineering
Installation, hardening, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and long term support for production Linux environments.
Cloud Infrastructure & Governance
AWS architecture, Control Tower, IAM, SCPs, networking, and cost optimization with strong governance and security.
Automation & Infrastructure as Code
Ansible, Terraform, scripting, and CI/CD pipelines to automate infrastructure and eliminate repetitive manual work.
Security & Compliance
System hardening, access controls, patch management, auditing, and aligning infrastructure with best practices.
Networking & Systems Integration
Design and management of secure, reliable networks and integrated infrastructure that just works.
Technical Leadership & Consulting
Architecture review, problem solving, mentoring, and guidance for teams of any size.
Need help with your infrastructure?
If your systems are complex, your costs are high, or your team is stretched thin, I can help bring clarity, stability and order to your environment.
