Work you can buy with a scope attached
Three things, each with a defined deliverable and a handover document at the end. No open-ended retainers, and no discovery phase that bills for a month before anything runs.
You get the dashboard. I run the platform.
Hosted Monitoring & Dashboards
Grafana dashboards for your servers, APIs, databases or business numbers, hosted on my platform with alerting. Nothing to install and nothing to maintain.
See what is included →Know before your users do — on your own infrastructure.
Self-Hosted Observability Stack
Grafana, Prometheus, Loki and Alertmanager deployed on your servers, with admin access handed over. Open-source editions, so there are no per-host fees and no seat licences.
See what is included →Stop retyping invoices.
Bulk Document Data Extraction
Invoices, receipts and bills turned into clean Excel, CSV or database tables with AI OCR. Line items included, not just the totals.
See what is included →Your email is going to spam. First, find out why.
Email Deliverability Diagnosis & Repair
SPF, DKIM, DMARC, alignment, reverse DNS and blocklist work — starting with an audit that always tells you which of five causes you actually have, including the ones I cannot fix.
See what is included →Your traffic fell off a cliff after the site move.
SEO Migration Recovery
Organic traffic dropped after a redesign, replatform or domain change. I find which URLs Google lost and what they were worth, rebuild the redirect map, and fix the crawlability faults behind it.
See what is included →Nobody can say who can do what in your AWS account.
AWS Security Review
Free scanners list hundreds of AWS misconfigurations. I work out who owns each role, which findings an attacker could actually reach, and in what order to fix them — then fix them, reversibly.
See what is included →Hardening a live server is easy. Not breaking it is the hard part.
VPS Hardening & ModSecurity
Free tools will find what is wrong with your server and even generate the fix. I work out what each change would break on your box, apply them one at a time with a tested rollback, and tune ModSecurity so it does not block your customers.
See what is included →Your backups have never been restored.
Cloud Architecture & Resilience Review
Free tools ask whether your backups work. I restore one into a scratch environment and time it, mark which components have nothing behind them, and rank what to fix by what an outage would actually cost.
See what is included →The renewal worked. Nothing reloaded.
SSL & Server Configuration
Free tools read the certificate you are serving right now. I force a renewal inside an agreed window and read the serial off every port that serves one, before and after — then fix the ones it never reached.
See what is included →Docker published the port. Your firewall never saw it.
Container Security Review
Free tools read your Compose file and flag a published database port. I connect to every port your project publishes from outside your network and record what answered — then close what should never have been reachable.
See what is included →The record is right. The answer is still wrong.
DNS & Email Troubleshooting
Free tools read your zone as it is right now, and two registries do it better than mine does. I change one record inside an agreed window and measure which nameservers and which resolvers picked it up — and how long the old answer outlived it.
See what is included →The deploy worked. Going back is the part nobody has tried.
DevOps Deployment & Rollback Review
Free tools read your compose file and find eleven things, and my own engagement builder prints the pipeline scope for nothing. I roll a real release back inside an agreed window and time it — from the decision to the old version serving, and what did not go back with it.
See what is included →The same shape every time
Whichever one you pick, the process does not change. It exists so you know what you are buying before you pay for it.
-
You describe the problem
What you need to see, or what you are retyping by hand. Use the form at the bottom of any page. I read every message myself.
-
I scope it and quote it
You get a written scope: what is included, what is not, and how long it takes. If the job is smaller than you thought, I say so. If it is bigger, you hear that before you commit rather than halfway through.
-
I build it
On my platform, or on your infrastructure, depending on which of these you chose. You see progress rather than a status update.
-
You get it, documented
Credentials, the configuration, and a handover document written so somebody who was not in the conversation can still run it. There is a sample handover document if you want to see the standard before you commit to anything.
Prefer escrow and a platform record? All three are also bookable on Upwork, where the current packages and pricing are kept up to date.
Not sure yet? Run a check first
Every free diagnostic on this site runs the same checks I run at the start of a paid engagement. They need no signup, and they will tell you whether you have a problem worth paying anyone to fix.
Tell me what you are trying to see.
Describe the problem in a couple of sentences — what breaks, what you are watching by hand, or what you keep retyping. You get a scope and a straight answer on whether it is worth paying anyone to do, including me.
