Windows & Linux Server Engineer & Systems Administrator
Over 20 years solving problems across Windows and Linux — from on-call incidents and infrastructure builds to automation, mentoring, and everything in between.
I'm a hands-on server engineer and system administrator with over 20 years' experience supporting and securing mission-critical environments across both Windows and Linux platforms. Whether it's streamlining operations through automation, managing on-call incidents, or tackling obscure faults, I bring curiosity, resilience, and a knack for cutting through complexity.
My approach may be unconventional — but it delivers results where it counts. I thrive on challenges that require thinking beyond the obvious, and I'm just as comfortable mentoring junior engineers as I am racking hardware in a data centre at midnight.
Alongside full-time roles, I've been delivering freelance server administration and infrastructure work since 2016 — from one-off fixes to ongoing managed support.
"A real wizard! Got us out of a serious jam. Do not hesitate to hire this brilliant man."
"Chris does an outstanding job! He went up and beyond what I was expecting, and he was in constant communication with me. He knows his stuff, and there wasn't anything that he couldn't do."
"It's really a pleasure to work with Chris. Very professional, always available. Couldn't have found someone better for this job."
"His in-depth knowledge saved the day for us when our server and hosting essentially ceased to work. Critical to our business operations, Chris worked tirelessly until he resolved the issue. I have no hesitation recommending him."
