Eljano Hita

IT professional based in Tirane, Albania, focused on system administration, network infrastructure, and DevOps automation. I build and keep the servers, networks, and pipelines running — on-prem and in the cloud.

01. About

Dedicated IT professional experienced in system administration, DevOps, and network management. Proficient in server setup, troubleshooting, and user management — familiar with DevOps methodologies and network performance optimization.

My day-to-day spans Linux server administration (Red Hat, CentOS), virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox), storage (HPE), and the automation that ties on-premises infrastructure to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I also design and implement security controls — intrusion detection, SIEM, backup and replication — to keep systems resilient.
