SEEKING WORK - Remote preferred, based in Denver, CO; US citizen, fwiw.

Ops and Systems/Network Administration. You write the code, I make sure everyone that you want to can load it (and no one else).

Heavy/primary OS Linux user since the late 90's and working on the admin end (now trendily "devops") since the early 00's. Mostly have worked with small and mid-size businesses. Do you prefer Debian or RedHat based distros, or something else entirely? Are you hosting on self-assembled server racks? dedicated colo boxes? AWS slices? Do you want a slick Apache setup, or prefer nginx, or want some feedback deciding on how you want it all set up -- or just want someone to take all those worries off your hands and let you focus on your own strengths? Let's chat.

Also familiar with Ruby/Rails, HTML, CSS3 and some popular frameworks, shell scripting, MySQL, and am generally a quick study. I'm interested in moving more toward the dev end of the spectrum, so blended projects are especially welcome.

Oh, and I actually enjoy writing thorough documentation. Twisted, eh?
