@andreicojan
Linux systems and web hosting infrastructure specialist delivering secure, reliable operations and fast technical support.
RomaniaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Linux systems and web hosting infrastructure specialist with 15+ years of hands-on experience, including 12 years as founder-operator of hosting and datacenter businesses serving up to 800 clients on fleets of 20–50 Linux servers. I combine production networking expertise—BGP, IPv6, and RPKI—with deep hosting operations knowledge across control panels, virtualization, email, DNS, backups, migrations, and security incident response.
I’m cPanel University certified (CWSA-2, CWA Tier 3, Certified Partner), and I’m known as a full-stack troubleshooter who can quickly isolate issues in the hosting stack and drive reliable recovery. Right now, I’m seeking a remote technical support engineering / hosting operations role where I can directly support business clients and keep infrastructure secure, stable, and performant.
