Junior Systems Administrator — Linux • Python • DevOps
Passionate about the intersection of Linux environments and automation. I focus on transforming academic theory into efficient IT operations — whether writing Python scripts to automate repetitive tasks, securing systems through monitoring and patching, or ensuring rock-solid uptime for the people who depend on it.

_data/projects.yml
Linux System Health Monitor
A Bash script that collects key system metrics — CPU load, memory usage, disk space, and failed services — and outputs a formatted report. Designed to run via cron for daily status checks on production servers.
Automated Backup System
A shell-based backup solution with configurable retention periods. Compresses target directories into timestamped archives and automatically prunes archives older than N days to control disk usage.
DNS Lab with BIND9
Home lab setup of a full authoritative DNS server using BIND9 on Ubuntu. Configured A, MX, and CNAME records, enabled DNSSEC for security, and documented troubleshooting workflows using dig and nslookup.
Python Data Analysis Pipeline
A data processing pipeline built with Pandas and NumPy for cleaning, analysing, and visualising datasets. Includes Matplotlib charts and basic Scikit-learn classification models for predictive insights.
