How I can help
£150 initial session
A practical first step for a Linux, Docker or hosting problem, without a monthly commitment.
A complete fix is not guaranteed within the session. Further work is agreed separately; this is not emergency incident response.
From £295
A focused review of one internet-facing Linux server, with the most important risks prioritised.
Assessment only. No changes are made without a separate agreed scope.
From £650
Hands-on improvements to reduce unnecessary exposure on one Linux server.
A current backup and agreed maintenance window are required. Complexity determines the fixed quote.
From £195/month
A consistent technical contact for a named, agreed Linux and hosting environment.
Unused time does not roll over. Onboarding is scoped separately. Hosting fees, continuous monitoring and emergency cover are not included.
Additional work is £95/hour, billed in 15-minute increments (£23.75), with your approval before exceeding the agreed scope or budget.
Working together

Practical by design
Good technical work ends with a clear handover. You get the context, the changes made and practical next steps — so you can make informed decisions about your systems.
My background spans Linux, Docker, firewalls, nginx, Traefik, Cloudflare and AWS, alongside security tooling and customer delivery.
