Profile

Hi, I'm Skeptic

I am a dedicated Systems Administrator with a strong foundation in designing, implementing, and maintaining robust IT infrastructures. With hands-on experience across Windows, Linux, and networked environments, I specialize in server deployment, security hardening, and troubleshooting complex system issues. I have extensive experience working with virtualization, containerization, and cloud platforms, including Docker and Pterodactyl, to optimize system performance and scalability. My skill set also includes monitoring and alerting tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Netdata, allowing me to proactively identify and resolve system bottlenecks before they impact users.
