What I do
Monitoring that operations will actually use.
I help companies see their infrastructure clearly and keep it running. At CANCOM I design customer-specific Zabbix solutions, lead onboarding, rebuild permission models, and harden production monitoring so it stays usable as it grows.
Before that I spent years as a Linux engineer at T-Systems and as a web developer shipping real client sites. I can own the platform and the front door.
02
Linux platforms
Build, harden, and operate servers: SUSE and Red Hat, web stacks (Apache, Nginx), databases (MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL), proxies, updates, and incident response.
03
Web delivery
Business websites in PHP, HTML, CSS, and WordPress — plus modern portfolio sites. Hosting, DNS, SSL, and the application layer.
Selected work
Proof, not adjectives.

Zabbix customer platforms
Each customer arrives with a different estate and messy monitoring expectations. Generic templates do not survive first contact with operations.
CANCOM / T-Systems
Linux production platforms
Mixed web, database, and proxy stacks that drift, break, and accumulate tribal knowledge.
Fabric s.r.o.
Business websites
Companies needed sites they could actually launch and maintain — not a slide deck.
How I work
01
Listen and map
Walk the real estate. What is running, who gets paged, what is actually broken.
02
Design the baseline
Monitoring model or Linux baseline that matches how the team operates — not a catalogue dump.
03
Implement with the team
Build it with the people who will own it. Permissions, templates, docs, handover path.
04
Stabilize and hand over
Tune noise, lock access, document the operating path, leave something they can run.
