Four lanes. One specialist who fixes them all.
Most problems cross lanes: a slow site is a server problem, a broken checkout is an app problem. I work across all four, so nothing falls through the gaps.
Server & DevOps
Outages, 502s, runaway CPU, failed deploys. I stabilize Linux servers, tune the stack, and set up monitoring so it stays fixed.
- Ubuntu
- Nginx
- Docker
- Cloudflare
- AWS
WordPress
Slow, hacked, or broken after an update. I clean, harden and speed up WordPress and WooCommerce sites without breaking what works.
- WordPress
- WooCommerce
- LiteSpeed
- Redis
Automation
Hours lost to copy-paste work. I build reliable n8n, GoHighLevel and Zapier workflows that run quietly in the background.

// diagnose
Tell me what's wrong. I'll show you the fix.
Pick the symptom closest to yours to see how I'd approach it.
$ diagnose --issue site-down
Likely causes
- Web server or PHP-FPM crashed after running out of memory
- Disk full from logs or backups, so nothing can write
- Expired SSL certificate or a DNS change gone wrong
How I fix it
- 1Get the site back online first, with a safe temporary fix
- 2Trace the root cause through logs and resource history
- 3Apply the permanent fix and add monitoring so it can't recur silently

Clients who stopped worrying about their stack
“AL did a fantastic job getting everything restored and back up and running. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and communicated clearly throughout the process. What initially looked like it could be a major issue ended up being resolved much quicker than I expected. I really appreciate his expertise and would absolutely recommend working with him again. Thanks, AL!”
“The best DevOps you will find in all upwork!”
“Excellent experience working with AL Imran. He restored the WordPress website professionally, migrated everything correctly, checked and cleaned possible malware issues, improved the security of the website, and made sure everything was working perfectly on the new domain. Communication was fast and clear during the entire project.”
“Imran is very good at ai system automations and professional. I worked on a few projects with him and I was very impressed with his work. I highly recommend him and will hire again.”
“Imran completed the pilot successfully and was cooperative throughout the process. After an initial domain mismatch, he adjusted the setup to use the assigned domain, connected it through Trafficmind, and provided the requested screenshots after testing. The final delivery matched the task requirements, and communication was smooth during the review process.”
“I am so glad to have found AL Imran to work on my website. He has done a fantastic job, and I'll definitely be using him for future projects. I highly recommend him. Awesome work!”
“Great to work with, very responsive, and quick turnaround. Provided a few other security advices too.”
“Amazing Job! Imran went above and beyond and fixed our technical problems on our website. He also used n8n and automated a process for our business. I highly recommend him he really knows what he is doing and very knowledgeable when it comes to ai.”
// how I work
A calm process for urgent problems
Panic makes outages longer. Every job follows the same four steps, whether it's a 2 a.m. outage or a planned migration.
01
Diagnose
I get access, read the logs and metrics, and find the actual cause instead of guessing.
deliverable: diagnosis.md02
Plan
You get a short plan: what's wrong, what I'll change, the risks, and a fixed price.
deliverable: plan + quote03
Fix & verify
I make the changes with backups and rollback ready, then verify with real tests and monitoring.
deliverable: before/after metrics04
Handoff
A clear summary of what changed and why, plus what to watch, so you're never dependent on guesswork.

Al Imran Bappi// about
Hi, I'm Imran. I keep systems boringly reliable.
I've spent over ten years keeping Linux servers, WordPress sites and business automations running for clients across the US, Canada and New Zealand.
I'm the person agencies and founders call when something is on fire, and the person they keep around so it doesn't catch fire again. I care about root causes, clear communication and leaving things documented.
