Infrastructure capabilities

Designing, operating and optimizing enterprise infrastructure

Eight disciplines I own end to end — from architecture and build, through day-two operations, to continuous improvement under contractual SLAs.

01

Cloud & Data Center

Hybrid and on-premises platform design, capacity planning, and full data center lifecycle operations for always-on workloads.

Data Center Hybrid Cloud Capacity
02

Virtualization

Enterprise virtualization on Proxmox VE, VMware vSphere and KVM — clustering, live migration, and platform modernization.

Proxmox VE VMware KVM
03

Storage & Ceph

Software-defined storage architecture with Ceph and ZFS: replication, performance tuning, and resilient storage fabric design.

Ceph ZFS Replication
04

Managed Services

Service delivery coordination, SLA governance, incident and escalation management, and long-term customer relationships.

SLA Escalation Delivery
05

Linux & Platform Engineering

Enterprise Linux at scale (Red Hat, Debian) — hardening, performance tuning, HA clustering, and Kubernetes-based platforms.

Red Hat Debian Kubernetes
06

Observability

Prometheus, Grafana, Zabbix, Graylog and Wazuh — metrics, logs and security telemetry that turn noise into early warning.

Prometheus Grafana Zabbix
07

IT Operations

ITIL-aligned operations: incident, problem and change management, runbooks, documentation and operational maturity.

ITIL 4 Incident Change
08

Infrastructure Architecture

High availability, disaster recovery and Zero Trust network design aligned to real RTO, RPO and compliance targets.

Selected projects

Infrastructure engineering in production

Representative engagements. Customer names and identifying details are withheld; the engineering is described as delivered.

Enterprise Proxmox HA + Ceph Cluster

Virtualization & Storage

Challenge

Mission-critical applications required enterprise-grade availability without the licensing cost of a proprietary hypervisor platform.

Result

  • 12-node distributed cluster in production
  • Ceph distributed storage with replication
  • 99.99% uptime SLA sustained
Proxmox VE Ceph ZFS HA Cluster

Multi-Datacenter Disaster Recovery

Resilience & Business Continuity

Challenge

A single-site failure would have taken critical services offline with no tested recovery path.

Result

  • 3-site replication architecture
  • RTO of 15 minutes, RPO of 5 minutes
  • Automated, regularly tested failover
Multi-Site Replication Failover DR

VMware to Proxmox Platform Migration

Infrastructure Modernization

Challenge

Rising virtualization licensing costs, with no tolerance for downtime during a platform change.

Result

  • 150+ VMs migrated with zero downtime
  • 60% reduction in platform cost
  • Improved workload performance post-migration
