I take on FreeBSD system administration contracts for companies that need hands-on expertise keeping their systems running smoothly, securely, and efficiently. Whether you operate a production web stack, internal infrastructure, or private hosting environment, I provide practical administration services built around reliability and performance, not bloat or buzzwords.
I manage everything from initial setup and hardening to long-term maintenance and optimization. If your team needs a dependable FreeBSD admin on call, I handle updates, patch management, monitoring, and troubleshooting as part of an ongoing support contract. My work is methodical, transparent, and documented, so nothing is hidden behind guesswork or “magic” scripts.
Core contract services include:
- Server Maintenance: Routine updates, system health checks, log review, and proactive patching.
- Performance Optimization: Kernel and sysctl tuning, caching, network stack adjustments, and filesystem performance improvements.
- Security Hardening: pf firewall configuration, SSH lockdowns, SSL/TLS setup, intrusion prevention, and jail isolation.
- ZFS Management: Pool creation, snapshot automation, replication, and disaster recovery strategies.
- Infrastructure Support: Jail environments, virtual machines, and custom deployments for scalable hosting or SaaS environments.
- Upgrades and Migration: Planning and executing FreeBSD version upgrades or cross-platform migrations with minimal downtime.
I’m typically hired to stabilize or modernize systems that have grown messy over time, recover from outages, or prepare environments for higher traffic and uptime demands. I’ve rebuilt misconfigured servers, tuned resource-heavy applications, and implemented automated maintenance routines that reduce manual intervention.
Most of my contract clients prefer fixed-term or retainer-based arrangements. This allows predictable monthly support while ensuring that I’m available when issues arise or infrastructure changes are needed. Whether you want a one-time rebuild or ongoing administration, I work directly with your developers or internal IT staff to integrate smoothly with your existing processes.
FreeBSD rewards precision. When systems are configured correctly, they run clean and fast. When they’re not, they’ll let you know. My job is to make sure you stay on the right side of that equation.
If your organization needs dependable FreeBSD system administration under contract, I’m available for both short-term and long-term engagements. I work remotely or on-site depending on project scope and access requirements.
