Building
Reliable
Infrastructure.
I'm Hassan — an IT engineer at an MSP with a passion for DevOps, containerization, network security, and virtualization. I help businesses run stable, secure infrastructure and share everything I learn along the way.
Passionate about
infrastructure
and open to sharing it.
I work as an IT engineer at a Managed Service Provider (MSP), where I design, deploy, and maintain infrastructure for a wide range of clients. My day-to-day involves everything from configuring Fortigate firewalls and managing VMware/Proxmox hypervisors to building CI/CD pipelines with Docker and Ansible.
I'm deeply interested in storage technologies — especially Ceph — and distributed systems that power modern data centers. My goal is to bridge the gap between complex infrastructure topics and practical, hands-on learning.
Beyond the job, I'm building towards creating video courses to help engineers understand infrastructure from the ground up — no fluff, just real-world scenarios.
