Joe User

I’m a DevOps Engineer with 2+ years of hands-on experience managing hybrid Cloud & Infrastructure across Google Cloud Platform, Hetzner, and on-premise Proxmox environments. I operate 20+ production Docker services (including multiple Odoo ERP instances, mail servers, reverse proxies, and VPN) with 99%+ uptime, with a strong focus on reliability and end-to-end service delivery.

I specialize in CI/CD automation and platform thinking—using GitHub Actions, Docker-based CI/CD, and scripting (Bash and Python) to build consistent, reproducible releases. I’ve integrated payment APIs (M-Pesa, iPay, and bank APIs) into Odoo, and I’ve deployed and maintained key self-hosted platforms like Stalwart Mail, Nextcloud, and Immich.

Security and monitoring are central to how I work: I harden Linux environments, manage secure reverse proxy routing, and run security tooling such as Wazuh, OpenVAS, and Nessus to improve threat detection readiness and incident response workflows. From my systems administrator background, I’ve also tuned infrastructure (including Solaris/ZFS) and helped teams by mentoring interns and strengthening operational reliability.
