Linux SysAdmin & Cyber Security Analyst
VenezuelaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Linux SysAdmin and Security Analyst focused on protecting critical infrastructure and web operations (WebOps). My profile is hybrid: I combine the agility of a Systems Administrator with the preventive mindset of a Cybersecurity specialist.
My professional evolution has led me from technical support to Server Hardening and Incident Response. Currently, I specialize in managing environments under constant siege, where I not only configure the server but also simulate attacks (Pentesting) to validate that defenses hold up.
What do I bring to your team?
🛡️ Offensive & Defensive Security: Hands-on experience mitigating threats, cleaning malware infections (Webshells/Backdoors), and executing security audits.
🐧 Linux Proficiency: Advanced VPS administration (AlmaLinux/CentOS), performance optimization (Nginx/PHP-FPM), and forensic log analysis.
⚙️ MSP DNA: Expert in the Managed Service Providers stack. I master automation with Datto RMM, ticket management in Autotask PSA, and documentation in ITGlue.
☁️ Cloud Identity Management: User administration and security in Microsoft 365 and Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).
