01 / What I do
Four disciplines, one outcome: systems that work and stay defensible.
Most teams keep infrastructure, the apps on top of it, security, and privacy in separate silos. I work across all four — which is where the hard problems actually live.
Platform Engineering
End-to-end production infrastructure — bare-metal and virtualized Linux fleets, container stacks, authoritative DNS, automated backups and the glue that keeps it self-healing.
WordPress Engineering
WordPress that performs under real load. Deep LiteSpeed and caching tuning, complex migrations, scaling busy sites, and untangling the plugin/theme conflicts other people give up on.
IT Security
Hardening, intrusion prevention and incident response done properly — SSH and server lockdown, IPS/WAF tuning, malware containment, and fast, calm CVE remediation when it counts.
Privacy & Compliance
Privacy-by-design and EU data sovereignty as a foundation, not an afterthought. GDPR-aligned architecture, encryption at rest, and infrastructure that keeps data inside the EU.
+ / Tools & platforms
The stack I work with every day
Control panels, CDNs, containers, DNS, security and the full WordPress ecosystem — 15+ years across the tools that run modern web infrastructure.

02 / Biography
About Shanto
SA// replace with a
professional headshot
professional headshot
I'm a platform engineer and security specialist based in Marbella, Spain, and the founder of Pladinum — a managed hosting company built around critical infrastructure and deep technical expertise for businesses across the EU.
Across 15+ years I've designed and run production hosting platforms top to bottom: Linux server fleets, container orchestration, authoritative DNS with DNSSEC, encrypted off-site backups, and the layered security that keeps all of it defensible. My work sits in the overlap most teams keep apart — making systems fast, keeping them online, and keeping the data on them private.
I'm just as comfortable elbow-deep in a WordPress performance problem as I am architecting the infrastructure beneath it — today I manage 1000+ WordPress sites for clients around the world, many of them not even on my own infrastructure. I care about data sovereignty and privacy-first design, and I build systems that treat compliance as a starting point rather than a checkbox.
I'm currently open to new work — full-time roles, contract engagements, and advisory work, fully remote for clients anywhere in the world. If you need infrastructure that holds up under pressure, let's talk.
