No revolving door of contractors. No "your server is in a queue." A single engineer who knows every corner of your stack and treats it like their own.
Full provisioning from bare OS — hardening, firewall, SSL, reverse proxy, app stack & automated backups.
24/7 uptime & performance monitoring. You get alerted when something breaks — I fix it before it's a crisis.
Security patches, dependency updates, performance tuning & hands-on support whenever you need it.
Tell me about your server, stack & what you need. Could be: "I have a DO droplet, no idea what I'm doing." Or: "Multi-region K8s setup." All welcome.
I audit your current setup (or plan a new one) and send a clear proposal. Exact deliverables, timeline, fixed price. No jargon. No surprises.
Add my dedicated SSH key. Every change is documented in your activity log. You see what was done, when, and why — full visibility, always.
Server is my responsibility. Updates, alerts, incidents, optimizations — I own it. You get a calendar, focus on your product, and let infra be a non-issue.
You bring your own VPS (or I recommend one). Month-to-month — cancel anytime with full handoff doc. Setup fee waived on annual plans.

"He has the right skills to handle all the DevOps operations in my server. He is talented and well-educated for this job."
"Dat has been one of our key system administrators keeping our deployment of servers running including database, web, VPN and backup services. He is attentive and follows through on tasks."
"He has consistently proven 1st class, very friendly and has saved us a lot of time and money. Highly recommendable."
"I hired Dat to help setup my server. Now he monitors all my websites and the server to keep working and maintain the uptime. He's very flexible and always comes with ideas on how to optimize."
"I hired Dat to work as our project server administrator, he is doing a brilliant job. Highly recommended."
Every client gets the same care: clear communication, documented work, and a partner who treats your infra like their own.
Yes — you keep ownership of your server and pay the hosting provider directly. I just manage it. This keeps things simple: you're never locked in, and your infrastructure stays yours.
Any provider that gives you SSH access — DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner, Linode, AWS EC2, GCP Compute, and others. I can also recommend the best option for your use case and budget.
Via SSH with a dedicated key. You grant access and can revoke it at any time. I document every change made to your server so you always have full visibility.
Starter plan: best effort within 6 hours. Professional: within 30 minutes. Custom plans can include an SLA with defined response times. I'm in UTC+7 (Vietnam) but actively monitor alerts.
Yes, month-to-month with no lock-in. Cancel before your next billing cycle and I'll provide a full handoff document so you or another engineer can take over smoothly.
Yes, genuinely free. You'll get a written audit (PDF, 2–4 pages) covering security, performance and recommendations — yours to keep regardless of whether you hire me. No upsell calls, no "limited-time offer." If my proposal isn't a fit, the audit is still useful for whoever you work with next.
Three layers: (1) dedicated SSH key per client — revokable from your side in one command, (2) every change logged in a shared activity log you can audit anytime, (3) NDA available on request before any access is granted. I never store credentials outside the agreed-upon location, and your data never leaves your server.
