What I'm looking for

I am looking for a hands-on role managing Linux servers and web infrastructure where I can automate workflows, improve system reliability, and contribute to a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a Linux system administrator and full-stack web developer with hands-on experience managing production systems, web servers, and databases in cloud and hosting environments. At Positive Internet I administered Apache2, Nginx, Varnish, MySQL and automated operational tasks with Bash scripting while monitoring systems with Nagios.

My background spans IT technician and support roles where I assembled and configured Windows and Linux systems, managed virtual machines and provided customer-facing technical support. I also have hospitality experience delivering high-end service in Michelin-star and five-star hotel environments, which honed my communication and client-facing skills.

I hold multiple IT certifications including ECDL and web creation credentials and I am completing a BSc in IT. I am passionate about automating workflows, building web pages, and applying strong Linux and web-development skills to improve reliability and customer experience.
