SEEKING WORK

Location: Seattle, WA

Remote: yes/world-wide

DevOps Process Consulting - Linux Systems Administration - Network Management

Hi, I’m Lee Whalen, Principal of Fuzzy Logic, a Seattle-Based DevOps consultancy with deep experience in providing business results through technical solutions.

We help SaaS companies save money through extensive automation - infrastructure deployment, code-checking/deploy, CI/CD - and good-practices for on-premise or public cloud management.

Business results we’ve obtained for our Clients include:

+ Savings in excess of $1.4M/yr by environment-wide migrations from Rackspace fully managed hardware to a privately hosted Openstack environment

+ A 33% savings from previous OpEx through optimizing public-cloud spend, replacing expensive SaaS products with internal services, etc

+ Cut DevOps engineer 'time to first commit' from two weeks to two days with documentation and optimized onboarding processes

+ Developed a custom API-driven provisioning tool that allowed VMs to deploy independent of the cloud provider backend

Let's have a conversation about where your business is going and what we can do to get you there. Contact Fuzzy Logic or its principal Lee Whalen:

SEEKING WORK | Latin America | Remote only

Remember when the web was actually good?

When websites didn't download megabytes of crap and contacted 100s of domains trying to track you? When progressive enhancement was cool and walled gardens were not? When programmers actually solved problems instead of copy/pasting code from web search results?

Then maybe we'll get along

I'm not a professional software developer, I have an unrelated major and a career on an unrelated field. But I'm currently volunteering in South America and would like to make some beer money on the side by putting my programming skills to good use as it's something I enjoy and can do remotely. Due to my other obligations I'm only available part-time.

I'm the kind of guy who:

* Spends more time in the command line more than with GUIs

* Uses native applications instead of web apps

* Sticks to the tried and true instead of chasing the latest fad

* Would rather run his own servers than rely on third parties

* Prefers to use a library instead of a framework

* Likes correctness, but likes pragmatism even more

* Bends every of the above rules when it doesn't make sense

* Has been programming on and off for two decades

* Has been building websites since the late 90s

* Has dabbled in every layer shy of actual kernel development

* Has done plenty of CRUD, but not only

* Has developed with popular and unpopular stacks

* Would pick up whatever your stack is to get things done

I don't expect to be a perfect fit for most organizations, but if I sound like someone you'd like to work with, send me an email. I'm open to all kind of offers, from the mundane to the exotic.
