Experience Highlights

Linux System Administration and Optimization

As a Linux System Administrator, I managed and optimized systems based on AlmaLinux, handling tasks ranging from server setup and configuration to regular maintenance and security hardening. My work included setting up secure user access, automating system updates, monitoring performance metrics, and ensuring system stability. Through automation and scripting, I reduced manual tasks, optimized system performance, and minimized downtime, resulting in a more resilient infrastructure. Additionally, I implemented backup and recovery solutions, ensuring data integrity and operational continuity.

Multi-Site SSL Certificate Installation and Configuration

Implemented SSL certificates for multiple domains on an AlmaLinux server, securing all website traffic over HTTPS. Leveraged Certbot for streamlined SSL management and automated renewal, ensuring all sites maintained up-to-date and valid certificates. Enhanced the security posture of the server by configuring Nginx with strict SSL protocols and security best practices. This project improved data privacy for site users, boosted SEO rankings, and aligned with industry security standards.

Automated Customer Match List Upload with Google Ads API

Developed an automated solution using Python and the Google Ads API to streamline the process of uploading customer match lists for digital marketing campaigns. This project aimed to save time and reduce manual effort for data uploads, ensuring accurate and timely customer targeting in ad campaigns. The solution enabled efficient list management, boosting campaign precision and overall performance.

Klaviyo and OpenCart Integration for Automated Email Marketing Flow

I integrated Klaviyo with OpenCart to establish a streamlined email marketing flow aimed at boosting customer engagement and sales. The project involved setting up Klaviyo to capture customer data from OpenCart, enabling personalized email campaigns. I designed automated email flows for abandoned carts, welcome series, and post-purchase follow-ups, targeting specific customer behaviors to maximize conversions. This integration empowered the client to leverage data-driven marketing, resulting in increased customer retention and revenue growth.

Upgrade of Opencart site and PayPal fixes

Upgraded an Opencart site from version 3.0.2.0 to 3.0.4.0 to ensure compatibility with PHP 8.3. Updated and optimized several extensions, including PayPal integration, to enhance performance and stability.
