Built from two decades of real Linux Work
I started working with Linux systems long before SYSOPGUY existed. Two decades later, the approach is still the same: understand the problem, work carefully, and fix what actually needs fixing.
A little about me
My name is Andrea. I’m an independent Linux system administrator based in Italy, with more than two decades of hands-on experience with Linux systems, servers and infrastructure.
I work alone, directly with each person I help. No call centres, no account managers and no unnecessary layers between you and the person actually working on your system.
Four principles, twenty years
Transparency
Clear communication, clear scope, no hidden work. You know what I found, what I changed and why.
Precision
I work carefully, change only what is needed and avoid unnecessary disruption to production systems.
Honesty
If something is not worth fixing, I say so. If I am not the right person for the job, I say that too.
Experience
Two decades of hands-on Linux and server work across real systems, failures, migrations and production environments.
Milestones along the way
Computer technician
I started as a computer technician, working hands-on with hardware, software, networks and everyday technical problems.
Freelance Linux sysadmin
I became self-employed and focused increasingly on Linux systems, servers, networking and direct technical support.
Linux sysadmin
I moved into a dedicated system administrator role, working with Linux servers and business infrastructure.
Co-founder & system administrator
I co-founded an IT company while continuing to work hands-on with Linux systems, servers and production infrastructure.
Back to working independently
After years of companies, clients and infrastructure, I returned to working independently, directly and on my own terms.
Linux support, directly from me
Today, SYSOPGUY brings that experience together: direct Linux and server support with no unnecessary layers and one point of contact.
One sysadmin, four areas of focus
No team, no account managers, no unnecessary layers. The person you contact is the person who works on your system.

Built in the real world
Hands-on experience
More than two decades working directly with computers, Linux systems, servers, networks and production infrastructure.
Problems, not theory
Failed updates, broken services, outages and strange configurations. Real problems that need real fixes.
Direct responsibility
No handoffs and no layers. I inspect the problem, do the work and verify the result myself.
