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. It took hundreds of hours of training and practice to pass the vendor exams, making me one of the most capable freelancer for your job. 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. ⛔ I do not "Accept" projects until verifiable login credentials are provided.

Fix issues with my Wordpress site Price Undisclosed
Russel is an engineer for all other engineers to emulate My site was hacked again and my list of what had to be done was acknowledged. But when he got into the work he approached it, seemingly without effort, and pursued items I didn't know could be done. Russell even found items prior engineers left unfinished. I'm excited to have those hassles behind me and a level of security I couldn't imagine. He knew what he was doing and didn't leave unfinished work behind. This man is the best!
