System Architecture

I am a System Engineer specializing in Linux/Windows server administration, cPanel/WHM environments, and web application infrastructure. I have hands-on experience managing shared hosting environments, troubleshooting complex WordPress, Moodle, and Laravel applications, and handling production-level incidents.

My expertise includes server security, malware forensics, backup and disaster recovery, and performance optimization. I work extensively with logs, debugging tools, and monitoring systems to identify root causes and implement reliable solutions.

I also design and maintain scalable hosting environments, implement WAF and access controls, and ensure high availability of client systems. My approach is deeply analytical, detail-oriented, and focused on stability and security.
