Your search for the perfect freelancer ends here! As a computer engineer with over two decades of experience in the mainstream IT industry, I can deliver a wide range of hi-tech services including: ✅ Linux system administration (Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, CentOS, and more) ✅ Cloud computing (AWS, GCP, Oracle Cloud, DigitalOcean, Azure, and more) ✅ Website, server, and email migration ✅ Cybersecurity consulting ✅ Malware removal and security hardening ✅ Various CMS and E-commerce solutions and troubleshooting (WordPress, Joomla, Shopify, osCommerce, Zen Cart, Magento, MediaWiki, phpBB, and more) I work solo, and known among peers for my fast turnaround time and ability to fix difficult problems. Where others have failed, I will succeed. ✌️ My credentials include multiple certifications from Google, Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco, AWS, cPanel, Plesk, MongoDB, (ISC)², Fortinet, and more. These certifications reflect hundreds of hours of training and real-world practice, making me uniquely qualified to handle your IT challenges. As of 2014, I am part of the Preferred Freelancer Program, the elite top 1% on this platform. As of 2022, I am a Freelancer Ambassador, tasked with special duties including moderating the community groups. My timezone is GMT +6, though I work round-the-clock to cater the needs of my clients in over 70 countries worldwide. Click on the "Contact" button now to get started. If I have bid on your project, just click that "Award" or "Chat" button. I look forward to working with you! Notes for my first-time clients: ☑️ I have undergone a thorough and rigid identity verification process to receive the blue verified badge. This makes me more trustworthy when dealing with confidential data. ⛔ I do not work through remote access software such as TeamViewer or AnyDesk. ⛔ I do not "Accept" projects until verifiable login credentials are provided and verified.
