Assess. Prioritize. Improve. Document.

Know what can fail. Know what to fix next.

A paid infrastructure assessment with a clear remediation plan. I review your Linux and Windows systems, monitoring, backups and access paths, then help you implement the improvements that matter.

A paid assessment. A usable remediation plan.

For small businesses, software agencies and IT providers that need specialist infrastructure support without hiring a full-time administrator.

What you take away

  • A map of the agreed systems, dependencies and operating risks
  • Evidence-backed findings, ranked by impact and urgency
  • A remediation plan with next actions, dependencies and verification criteria
  • A review call and separately scoped implementation or ongoing support

Clear boundaries from the start

Scope, access, price and delivery date are agreed before work starts. Diagnostics are read-only where practical. Production changes, restore drills and migrations need a separate scope and maintenance window. An assessment does not certify compliance or guarantee recovery.

What I can help you operate

Practical services for mixed infrastructure: investigate the failure, make the change reproducible, and leave an operating record the next person can use.

01

Less repetitive work. More consistent changes.

Turn routine setup, updates and configuration into repeatable steps. You receive maintainable automation, change records and operating instructions—not a system only one person understands.

Technical details

Ansible, Git, Bash and PowerShell; Linux and Windows administration over SSH or WinRM.

02

Find problems before they become surprises.

Check whether important services are available, storage is running out and alerts reach the right person. You receive meaningful checks, clear escalation steps and evidence to help investigate recurring failures.

Technical details

Zabbix, LibreNMS, Grafana and Wazuh; service, agent, log and storage diagnostics.

03

Know what is backed up—and how to recover.

Review backup coverage, storage capacity and retention. Identify recovery gaps and agree isolated restore tests. You receive recovery instructions and a clear record of what has actually been tested.

Technical details

ZFS, libvirt/KVM, Proxmox and Proxmox Backup Server; snapshots, replication and restore planning.

04

Make remote access work reliably.

Trace why staff can reach one system but not another. Review connectivity, sign-in dependencies and access permissions. You receive an access map, scoped corrections and a rollback plan.

Technical details

DNS, routing, OpenVPN, OPNsense, SSH keys, LDAP, Active Directory and SSO.

05

Keep secure connections from expiring unnoticed.

Check how each application uses its security certificate, automate renewal where suitable and verify the certificate users actually receive. You receive renewal instructions, deployment checks and expiry alerts.

Technical details

HTTPS/TLS, Let’s Encrypt, DNS challenges, reverse proxies and application-specific certificate bindings.

06

Keep mail and business applications usable.

Investigate slow mailboxes, failed application connections and database access. Plan changes around backups and acceptance checks, with unresolved risks recorded rather than hidden.

Technical details

Postfix/Dovecot, scoped mbox-to-Maildir migrations, Nginx/Caddy, MariaDB and ODBC connectivity.

07

Know your systems. Keep the knowledge.

Bring assets, ownership, operating instructions and change history together. Your team receives readable documentation and an inventory it can maintain after handover.

Technical details

GLPI agents and asset inventory; Git-backed incident, change, project and operating records.

08

Business tools you can own and maintain.

Set up collaboration, shared files, knowledge bases or service management with clear responsibilities, access controls and backup arrangements. Phone-system enquiries can also be scoped separately.

Technical details

Nextcloud, BookStack, Jitsi and GLPI; existing 3CX service enquiries, with licensing and carrier requirements agreed separately.

One assessment. Three possible next steps.

Assess

Agree the systems and questions; review evidence; deliver findings and priorities.

Implement

A separately quoted remediation sprint with backups, rollback and acceptance checks.

Support or hand over

Defined maintenance hours and escalation boundaries, or documented handover to your team.

Your systems. Your documentation.

Remote work in English, German or Spanish, coordinated from Central Europe. You retain your configuration, automation and runbooks. Support hours and response commitments are agreed in writing; 24/7 coverage and local on-site support are not assumed.
