Key focus on data engineering, operating a large ELK cluster, building log pipelines, and surfacing actionable signals. Advanced troubleshooting across WordPress, Cloudflare, and Linux.
Enterprise-level support for high-traffic WordPress on AWS (EC2, RDS, CloudFront, S3). Contributed to Ansible configuration management and Docker-based PHP deployments. Diagnosed complex infrastructure issues for business-critical environments.
Managed dedicated servers and VPS at one of Greece's leading hosting providers. Built internal tooling with Laravel, mentored support staff, and handled everything from shared hosting triage to DNS and server-level debugging.
