Your infrastructure shouldn't keep you up at night

I break things on purpose so yours don't break by accident.

ping -c 4 gateway

Network Troubleshooting

Your network is down. I find out why.

Something stopped working and nobody knows why. Packet loss, random drops, WiFi dead zones, slow transfers — I get on a remote session, trace the issue, and fix it. Most problems are resolved the same day.

What you get
  • Root cause analysis via remote session
  • WiFi & signal optimization
  • VLAN, routing & switching fixes
  • Bandwidth & latency diagnostics
  • Post-fix report so it doesn't happen again

ideal_for: "My internet keeps dropping" or "everything was fine until yesterday"

iptables -L -n

Firewall & VPN Setup

Lock it down. Let the right people in.

I configure firewalls and VPNs on FortiGate, pfSense, Cisco ASA, Palo Alto — whatever you're running. Proper rules, proper segmentation, proper documentation. Not the default config your ISP left behind.

What you get
  • Firewall rule configuration & cleanup
  • Site-to-site or remote access VPN
  • NAT, port forwarding & ACLs
  • SSL/IPsec VPN for remote workers
  • Config backup & documentation

ideal_for: "We need a VPN" or "our firewall rules are a mess"

Connect-ExchangeOnline

Microsoft 365 Setup

Email, Teams, SharePoint — zero downtime.

Full M365 setup or migration from whatever you're currently on. I handle DNS, mailbox moves, user provisioning, MFA, Teams — the whole thing. Your team keeps working while I migrate everything behind the scenes.

What you get
  • Tenant setup & domain verification
  • Email migration with zero downtime
  • Teams & SharePoint configuration
  • User accounts, licenses & groups
  • MFA & conditional access policies

ideal_for: "We're still on GoDaddy email" or "we need to set up Teams properly"

az vm create --name prod-srv

Server & Cloud Setup

Deployed, hardened, documented.

Linux or Windows, cloud or on-prem. I spin up servers on Azure, GCP, or your own hardware — then actually configure them properly. Backups, firewall rules, SSH hardening, the stuff that usually gets skipped.

What you get
  • Cloud or on-prem server deployment
  • Linux / Windows Server setup
  • Automated backups (Veeam, rsync, snapshots)
  • Virtualization (VMware, Proxmox, Hyper-V)
  • Hardening & patch management baseline

ideal_for: "We need a server" or "our current setup has no backups"

nmap -sV --script vuln target

Security Audit

Find the holes before someone else does.

I scan your network, review your configs, and hand you a report that actually makes sense. No 200-page PDF of scanner output — just what's wrong, how bad it is, and exactly how to fix it.

What you get
  • Network & service vulnerability scan
  • Firewall rule review
  • Server & AD configuration audit
  • Plain-English risk report
  • Prioritized fix list you can act on

ideal_for: "We've never had a security review" or "a client is asking for one"

systemctl start zabbix-server

Monitoring Setup

Know when something breaks. Before your users do.

Zabbix, Grafana, Prometheus, Wazuh — I deploy the stack, configure the agents, build the dashboards, and set up alerts that go to Slack, Teams, or email. You stop finding out about outages from angry customers.

What you get
  • Monitoring server deployment
  • Agent rollout across your infra
  • Custom dashboards & visualizations
  • Alert rules (Slack, Teams, email, SMS)
  • SIEM setup with Wazuh (if needed)

ideal_for: "We don't know when things go down" or "we need dashboards"

cat network-topology.yaml

Network Design & Docs

The blueprint your network never had.

Clean network diagrams, IP plans, VLAN layouts, and hardware specs — the kind of documentation that actually helps when something goes wrong at 2am. I design networks for new offices or document the mess you already have.

What you get
  • Network topology diagrams (Visio/draw.io)
  • IP addressing & VLAN scheme
  • Hardware & cabling specs
  • Bill of materials
  • Implementation plan

ideal_for: "We're opening a new office" or "nobody knows how our network is set up"

ssh osama@consult --session

IT Consultation

Just talk to someone who gets it.

You have IT questions, I have answers. Book a call — I'll look at what you've got, tell you what's wrong, and give you a plan. No upsell, no fluff. If you don't need me after the call, that's fine too.

What you get
  • 1-on-1 video call
  • Infrastructure review
  • Honest recommendations
  • Written action plan after the call
  • Follow-up over email

ideal_for: "I don't even know where to start" or "I just need someone to look at this"
