I build, secure, and manage Linux infrastructure — from bare metal to containerised cloud deployments. Founder of OrbitDigital, bringing enterprise-grade web presence to small businesses.
About Me
I'm a Linux and infrastructure engineer with a passion for building reliable, secure systems. I manage servers, design container architectures, implement monitoring pipelines, and harden systems against threats — then I teach others how to do the same.
Ubuntu, Debian, shell scripting, user management, system hardening and performance tuning.
Multi-container deployments with Docker Compose, reverse proxy configuration, persistent storage.
Fail2ban, UFW, SSL/TLS, Lynis audits, Prometheus + Grafana monitoring stacks.
GitHub Actions pipelines, automated deployments, Git-based workflows from push to production.
Projects
Built and manage a hardened Ubuntu VPS running 7 Docker containers behind an Nginx reverse proxy with SSL. Includes monitoring, alerting, and automated CI/CD deployments.
Full observability stack with Prometheus scraping Node Exporter metrics and Grafana dashboards showing CPU, RAM, disk, network, and container health in real time.
Deployed a fully functional private cloud storage solution with MariaDB backend, configured for team collaboration, file sync, and future enterprise migration planning.
Automated deployment pipeline that triggers on git push — runs build steps and deploys updated website files to the production server automatically via SSH.
Implemented multi-layer security: SSH key authentication, UFW firewall rules, Fail2ban intrusion prevention, Lynis security audit achieving score of 78/100.
