My primary service offerings are reviews of AWS/IT Architecture and emeregency response. I also assist with complex data recovery in Linux environments - software and hardware RAID troubleshooting, filesystem repair, recovery of accidentally deleted files.
I can jump on a Zoom call to understand what's going on and provide remote assistance in recognising and addressing most pressing issues and risks within your environment. In certain cases I'll need my remote access setup so I can provide remote assistance.
I specialise in providing fast and straightforward advice with simple scenarios that are easily covered by email and text chat. This said, I always focus on long-term solutions to prevent the same issue from happening.
I do not provide remote systems administration, technical or on-call support. Occasional out of ours project, emergency response or deployment support should be discussed and arranged on a per-project basis.
I'll review your current setup and provide guidance on improving performance or availability as per your current vision. I will also help with setting up reproducible processes like automated deployments or continuous integration.
Not all is lost when your desktop or server stops booting - it may still be possible to recover critical data. I also assist with complex data recovery in Linux environments - software and hardware RAID troubleshooting, filesystem repair, sometimes even recovery of accidentally deleted files

Give your infrastructure a massive uplift by automating repetitive tasks and organising your setup into a scalable cloud-first code with Red Hat Ansible.
Your devs are probably using Docker already. I'll review your setup and will help you progress to a more robust, secure and performant Docker infrastructure.
I love to automate things and so smart home design and ongoing improvements are more than a hobby at this stage.
