20+ years building and running networks, DNS infrastructure, and Linux-based systems. I learn by doing — from ISP backbone engineering to enterprise DDI, from Ansible playbooks to SIEM deployments. Currently diving deeper into infrastructure automation and security.

About

I started in networking when BGP on a Linux box with Quagga was the affordable option and a good syslog setup felt like magic. Since then I've managed nationwide backbone infrastructure (Cisco, Juniper, MPLS, DWDM), run enterprise DNS/DHCP/IPAM for large clients on Infoblox, BlueCat, and VitalQIP, and built tooling in Ansible and Docker that made my team's daily work meaningfully faster.

Outside work hours I run a two-site home lab — Proxmox, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Wazuh SIEM, Grafana/Prometheus, pfSense, a Cisco rack switch with VLAN segmentation, and a Cloudflare tunnel between locations. I write small Bash and Python tools when something in my workflow annoys me. Currently preparing for RHCSA and studying network security.

Services

🌐

DNS / DDI Consulting

Design, migration, and troubleshooting of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM environments. Experience with Infoblox, BlueCat, VitalQIP, and open-source stacks (BIND, Unbound).

⚙️

Infrastructure Automation

Ansible playbooks, Terraform provisioning, Docker/Swarm environments. Turning manual, repetitive operations into reliable, repeatable workflows.

🔒

Network & DNS Security

DNSSEC deployment, DNS-over-TLS, network segmentation (VLAN), basic SIEM setup (Wazuh). Hardening of DNS infrastructure against common attack vectors.

🖥️

Linux Infrastructure

Server administration, service configuration (DNS, DHCP, RADIUS, syslog), containerisation, and monitoring setup on RHEL/Debian-family systems.

🔧

Network Design & Review

Routing protocol configuration (BGP, OSPF), network architecture review, firewall and VLAN design for SME and home-office environments.

📊

Monitoring & Observability

Grafana dashboards, Prometheus metrics, Loki log aggregation, Alertmanager. Giving your infrastructure a nervous system so problems surface before users notice.
