Cloud & Systems Engineer
I've spent ~15 years building and operating cloud infrastructure, Linux systems, and production environments at companies like Kinsta and Pagely. That operational depth lately feeds also into data engineering and dashboards that actually get used.
What I do
My foundation is systems and cloud. I know how machines, networks, and applications behave under pressure. That operational depth now shapes the data work: pipelines built to survive production, not just demos.
Stable, secure infrastructure — designed and operated so your business never has to think about it.
Cloud environments sized to what you actually need — no paying for capacity that goes unused.
A full review and lockdown of your setup so vulnerabilities don't turn into expensive problems.
Containerised workloads managed to run reliably in production, not just in development.
Infrastructure codified from source — self-rebuilding, consistently deployed, not dependent on any single person.
Monitoring and alerting that flags something is wrong before your customers notice.
When things break at 3 AM, they get fixed — not escalated to someone who isn't available.

Observability & Log Management
Systems that capture your data, make sense of it, and put it in front of the people who need it.
Operational logs captured and structured so you have full visibility into what's happening across your systems.
Connections built between your data sources so information flows reliably without manual intervention.
Raw data modelled into clean, structured formats your team can query and trust.
Self-service reporting that gives your team a clear view of operational health and business performance.
Everything runs on your own infrastructure — no lock-in, no dependency on third-party subscriptions.

Platforms built and maintained to handle real traffic and real revenue, not just demo conditions.
Backend logic and APIs that power your product and keep your tools connected.
Manual, repetitive work replaced with reliable automated workflows that run without supervision.

Experience
I manage infrastructure operations across a global managed WordPress platform serving thousands of hosted environments. Day to day that means managing large-scale LXC container fleets, administrating Kubernetes clusters, and maintaining the automation that keeps provisioning and configuration consistent at scale. A significant part of the role is data engineering work. I co-operate a large Elasticsearch cluster handling the platform's full log volume, build Logstash ingestion pipelines, and maintain the dashboards that engineering and operations teams rely on daily. I also contribute to infrastructure knowledge sharing and technical mentoring.
Pagely is one of the most recognised managed WordPress hosting platforms in the world, and was acquired by GoDaddy during my tenure. My role was hands-on technical support for enterprise-grade WordPress deployments running on AWS (EC2, RDS, CloudFront, S3) alongside Docker container support, Ansible configuration management, and complex infrastructure diagnosis for some of the most business-critical WordPress environments in production.
Senior infrastructure role at Greece's leading domain registrar and hosting provider. I handled the full range of hosting environments (shared, dedicated, VPS) including server provisioning, security hardening, and advanced WordPress troubleshooting. Beyond the technical work, I built internal tools and automations using Laravel, contributed to monitoring and incident response, and mentored first-level support staff on infrastructure concepts and escalation procedures.
Over a decade of hands-on work spanning server administration, WordPress and WooCommerce development, Laravel applications, cPanel/Plesk management, DNS, and network setup. This independent track ran in parallel with full-time roles and built the broad operational instincts that now underpin the infrastructure and data engineering work.
