Executive Summary

I am a hands-on technology professional combining deep infrastructure expertise with modern software development skills. Since 2014, I have been actively engaged in production technology environments.

My experience covers server administration across multiple hosting platforms (Plesk, cPanel, Hestia, SPanel), DNS and mail troubleshooting, large-scale migrations, and server recovery operations under pressure. I bridge the gap between low-level system engineering and high-level business software applications, such as Laravel-based ecosystems and Point-of-Sale systems.
