Getting everything back after a bad day

Selected work demonstrating this service.

• Automated 100 critical data backups using Barman

  Automated 100 critical data backups using Barman, Google Cloud, Bash, and Python, ensuring data integrity across databases.

• Managed 30 Ubuntu Linux VPS instances

  Managed 30 Ubuntu Linux VPS instances, implementing disaster recovery strategies and ensuring optimal network configurations.

• Implemented backups and disaster recovery as code

  Configured database backup retention as infrastructure‑as‑code, then audited the recovery position and documented the restore procedure — naming the remaining gaps rather than leaving them to be found during an incident.

• Backups that have actually been restored

  Built encrypted off‑host backups on restic with retention pruning, an integrity check and a monthly automated restore drill, then audited the recovery position and wrote down the gaps rather than leaving them to be found during an incident.

• Split every operational secret per host

  Split the four per‑host operational secrets after establishing that two hosts sharing one dead‑man's switch alert less than two switches, not more, and that a shared backup passphrase makes two hosts one repository.
