Summary
🤩
RockstarAshley Gittins is a systems consultant based in New South Wales, Australia, with over 18 years helping small and medium enterprises adopt economical open-source IT solutions. Self-employed since 2002, he provides end-to-end services—scoping, implementation and ongoing remote administration—so organisations can leverage Linux infrastructure without hiring full-time Unix staff. He specialises in Linux server stacks and tools such as Apache, Sendmail, BIND, Cyrus IMAP, PostgreSQL and FreeRADIUS, and routinely evaluates hundreds of other open-source options for fit and scalability. Combining business-level analysis with hands-on architecture and support, he offers pay-for-service engagements that lower entry costs while improving stability and performance. An understated strength is diagnosing operational gaps and turning them into pragmatic, auditable improvements for teams with limited specialist resources.
