In person. English-speaking. AI, devops, open source. Whichever fits the problem. Half-day audit, one-page plan, a euro figure to act on.
Previously built and ran infrastructure for 5M+ paid users at Surfshark.
You ask for AI. Or cheaper servers. Or to leave Microsoft. Underneath, the same diagnosis: where money leaks, where automation pays.
I sit with you for half a day, look at every recurring invoice and every repeated keystroke. You leave with a one-page plan and a euro figure per month you will stop paying.
Backups, updates, monitoring, who can log in. The boring stuff that ends careers when it breaks at 2am in August.
Drop Microsoft 365 and Adobe where it makes sense. Nextcloud, LibreOffice, Affinity. I migrate, train your staff, stay on call for 30 days.
No call centres. My number is in your phone.
Three hours with you and your team. By the end, everyone knows which task to hand to AI today and which to leave alone for another year.
No retainer traps. Pay for the engagement, own the result.
Who you are hiring
I live in Salou. I have spent 26 years inside Linux servers, and the past few years building AI agents that do useful work end to end. Most recently I built and led the infrastructure team at Surfshark, from one engineer and ten thousand users to thirty-five engineers and five million paid users, holding the budget flat. I left that to do this: smaller businesses, in person, where the problem you tell me on the phone is rarely the one we end up fixing.
Autónomo registered in Spain. CKA and CKAD certified. Native Lithuanian, fluent English, workable Spanish. linkedin.com/in/oldroot, github.com/nycterent.
The approach
You ask for what you already understand. AI savings. A faster server. Quitting Microsoft. I listen in your language, then run my diagnostic under the hood, then deliver the answer in your language too. The work is the same. The label is yours.
Costa Daurada is the customer and the office. Half-hour radius around Salou. No travel surcharge for Reus, Cambrils, Tarragona, Vila-seca, Mont-roig.
