    How I work

    1. Talk

      A short call to understand your environment and what "done" means for you.

    2. Plan

      A written scope, steps and rollback plan before I touch anything.

    3. Deliver

      The work, then docs and a walkthrough so your team owns it.

    FAQ

    Pricing, access, NDAs and time zones. Something else?

    Ask me on LinkedIn →
    How do you price?

    Fixed price for clear scopes like health checks and migrations. Hourly for ongoing operations or open-ended troubleshooting.

    How do you access our systems safely?

    Through your VPN or jump host, with an account you create and can remove at any time. I never ask for shared admin passwords.

    Will you sign an NDA?

    Yes. Client names and data never appear in my writing or portfolio.

    What about time zones?

    I work remotely and adapt to your time zone. Production changes are scheduled in your maintenance window.

    Have a Nutanix or Linux problem?

    Tell me what's going on. I'll reply with a clear plan and a quote.
