In ‘The Sign of the Four‘ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle described his creation Sherlock Holmes as the ‘only unofficial consulting detective’ and ‘the last and highest court of appeal in detection’. I call myself a consulting system administrator.
There are a lot of sysadmins in the world and we have our personal sets of skills. What I have is a range of experience in:
- Internet systems
- corporate services in telecoms and finance
- System discovery and documentation
- Site availability
- Devops
- System security.
I take pride in being able familiarise myself with new systems quickly, analyse issues and resolve them effectively, either as a one-off job or as a regular commitment. You might not need a system administrator all the time, but I can be there for when you do need one.
If you need to set up a new system, investigate problems with an existing system such as:
- High server load
- Site scrapers
- Security issues and resolutions
- System monitoring
- Backups
- Domain registration
- Virtualisation
- Cloud systems
