About me
More than a decade in Linux operations
Founded and ran Noiz — a hosting and cybersecurity company serving more than 200 client accounts — alongside roles at Virgin Media Ireland and a 150-staff engineering operation. The craft was forged on hosting fleets, mail transport, networks, and the patient work of keeping systems honest.
- Hosting infrastructure on Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and CloudLinux
- Plesk, cPanel, ISPConfig — managed at scale
- Mail transport and deliverability — Amavis, Rspamd, SpamExperts
- Networking, DNS, firewalls, VPNs, DDoS mitigation
- Backup, monitoring, disaster recovery, performance tuning
How I work
Clear communication, technical competence, and genuine empathy. A lifelong learner with a relentless desire to improve — to know more, build more, and offer more to the people and systems around me.
- Leave systems better than I found them
- Treat downtime as a commercial cost, not an inconvenience
- Document the WHY, not just the what
- Open source first, where it serves the client
