SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area on-site or remote

Generally available for freelance web app engineering work. I've been working with Rails and JS for ~9 years now, at all points up and down the stack. Everything from performance work on existing code to bringing up a full-fledged product from wireframes. I’ve also been doing some Swift lately.

In the past, I've worked with companies like CircleCI, Remind, Leap Motion, Anki, Rocket Fuel, and TaskRabbit. Before that, I had two startups of my own. In my spare time, I fly airplanes. Currently booked through the end of the year, but I’m always happy to meet up for coffee and chat.

SEEKING WORK - London, UK - Remote preferred

DevOps / Python nerd with over a decade's experience building, hosting and tuning applications.

I work closely with dev teams throughout the application lifecycle to host their code so it's scalable and robust for the long term. AWS, Kubernetes, load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even led whole infrastructure teams.

Recent projects include:

+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Updated a sprawling Django/Postgres app to fit modern containerized hosting, resulting in a stack that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Templating via Helm for multiple, namespaced stack instances & continuous integration.

+ Another AWS/k8s/Docker stack, this time with a persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring.

+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Didn't get rich, still working.

+ Chef-managed deployment of large microservice stack across varied configurations on cloud and physical servers

+ Support & enhancements for a sizeable stack of Django applications
