About Me
Hi, I’m Alexander Becker – a passionate Linux enthusiast, systems operator, and DevOps engineer in training 🚀
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve built my professional journey around one core principle: keeping IT operations stable, secure, and future-ready.
From classic on-premises infrastructures to modern cloud-based platforms, I love working with systems that require not only hands-on technical expertise but also a strong sense of responsibility, structure, and continuous improvement.
I started my path as an IT support analyst (where sometimes all it took was three cables and a smile 😄), moved on to system administration and network management, and later expanded into web operations, server management, and automation projects – both in corporate environments and through independent freelance work.
After some years in the digital marketing and web operations space, I realized my true passion lies even deeper: building, running, and optimizing technical systems at their core, with a focus on Linux administration, DevOps practices, and modern infrastructure management.
Currently, I’m sharpening my skills in DevOps engineering, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, troubleshooting, and security topics through continuous training and hands-on projects 🛠️
What Drives Me
I believe that sustainable system administration, smart automation, and a stable IT backbone are the real heroes behind any successful company.
My goal is to contribute technical expertise, operational reliability, and a mindset for continuous evolution – whether it’s about cloud platforms, web servers, Linux systems, or hybrid infrastructure models.
What I Work With
- Linux Administration (Ubuntu, CentOS)
- Windows Server Operations
- LAMP Stack Management (Apache, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP)
- Networking, DNS, SSL Management
- Cloud Operations (AWS EC2, Azure VMs)
- Docker, Kubernetes (Minikube/Kubectl)
- CI/CD Basics (Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
- Infrastructure Monitoring & Security Practices
- Webserver Optimization (Performance, Backups, SEO Fundamentals)
Beyond the Tech
When I’m not tuning servers or exploring container orchestration, you’ll probably find me spending quality time with my daughter, learning new technologies, or experimenting with automation ideas.
Also, I’m a big believer in structured workflows, clear documentation, and making complex systems simpler and more resilient – without unnecessary buzzwords 😉
Let’s Connect
I’m always curious to exchange ideas about DevOps, Linux system engineering, IT operations, cloud technologies, and real-world IT strategies.
