I'm AZ and I'm a system administrator from the UK. I live in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and I've been working with system-level (and network-level) work for over 5 years.
Past Experience
- ProTraf Solutions LLC: Set up the entire DDoS protected network (AS63990) which currently protects PrimeMC, DesiredCraft and many other large servers. Currently contract with ProTraf for network management.
- FastReturn, Inc: Set up the business and BGP network, including routers, switches and servers in four tier-4 datacenters around the world. Developed the cloud control panel in PHP and Go. Worked with upstream providers and Internet Exchanges to expand the network.
- Netrouting (Ellada Projects B.V.): Development of the dedicated server management and control system. Set up firewalls and certain routing equipment in the Miami location.
- MineSlam Network: Completed the transfer of the network from ReliableSite servers to new dedicated servers at SecuredServers, including firewall configuration, BungeeCord reconfiguration and database optimization. Developed on-demand backup system in Perl for easy, complete and on-time backups.
I've worked with most types of networks, protocols, programs, services and equipment in the past. The below is a brief list of services I can provide for the Minecraft community. If what you're looking for isn't on here, feel free to contact me since I can probably do it.
- BungeeCord/Redis Bungee configuration (1 to 4 hours)
- XenForo/MyBB/vBulletin set up with themes (I can make custom themes), plugins and configuration (30 minutes to multiple days for custom themes)
- Web development and design including portals, (re-)design and expert-tier design advice (design examples: here, here and here) (usually multiple days for custom work)
- Database (MySQL/MariaDB) optimization, reconfiguration and management (1 to 4 hours)
- Automation of server processes and scripting of all sorts (I know PHP, Perl, Go, Bash, Javascript and many others) (1 hour to multiple days for complex scripts)
- Set up of routers, switches and servers (new to colocation? no problem!) and networking of all the aformentioned (completely variable depending on the scope of network)
Pricing is completely dynamic and dependant on the scope of the work that needs to be completed. I generally accept payment through PayPal.
I can work on a per-hour basis or per-project basis. Please contact me for a quote for larger projects. My hourly rate is $15 per hour.

Feel free to contact me if you're looking for me to do a job for you or if you just want to have a chat. I am usually happy to provide advice and/or help with your projects.
