Actual production work.</p> <p>Alongside that, I work part-time as a Front-End Developer <br> at FadaHosting, building responsive interfaces that convert <br> visitors into customers.</p> <h2> What I Do </h2> <p>I am currently working as Server Manager at Elyspace <br> full-time since 2022. I also work as a Front-End Developer <br> at FadaHosting part-time. I hold a BCA degree.</p> <h2> My Skills </h2> <p>Frontend skills include HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React <br> which I am currently learning.</p> <p>Server and Infrastructure skills include Linux with Ubuntu <br> and CentOS, WHM and cPanel, SSH, DNS management, SSL <br> certificates, Windows Server, server migrations and <br> security hardening.</p> <p>I am currently learning React.js and AWS cloud services.</p> <h2> My Work Style </h2> <p>I don't just manage servers.
