Building software applications is as much about coding as it is about understanding and solving the actual business problems!

I'm a Zend & SensioLabs certified web developer / consultant with a focus on solving business problems and adding value through product optimisation. This can be done in many ways: creating a new application, suggesting an action plan or architecture, optimizing current set-up / architecture / applications, etc.

At the moment my technology focus is on PHP, Symfony, AWS, MongoDB, MySQL, APIs, JavaScript, Vue, Node.js, and Docker. I also care a lot about security (InfoSec), performance, quality, best practices & continuous learning. You can contact me for projects at http://ifdattic.com

Few of the problems I solved for my clients:

    * optimize infrastructure to reduce costs by $10000+ per year
    * custom applications for improving work flows (document 
      submission, sports coaching, inventory system, etc.)
    * teaching students how to create web applications
    * set up coding standards, testing practices,
      development environment, fix security vulnerabilities,
      document inner workings of an application
    * implement CAS authentication for Single Sign On (SSO)
    * implement direct file upload to AWS S3
    * implement secure file download from AWS S3
    * profile and optimize performance

I'm a senior engineer with 20 years experience building and operating online products, including at Facebook, major ISPs and many startups.

My core technical skillset is in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, Linux, AWS, GCP and Kubernetes, but over time I've been involved in most aspects of architecting, building, running and scaling online services. Keen interest in the business / product areas as well.

I was one of the first 6-7 Facebook SRE hires in Europe (2010-2011), have experience at numerous startups and before that in larger orgs in the ISP/hosting world.

Happy to provide hands-on DevOps expertise to solve your infrastructure / performance / cost / reliability challenges. I can also be relied on for technology vision, systems design, technical operations, mentoring and general engineering wisdom. I excel at understanding short vs long-term trade-offs, identifying performance bottlenecks & future technical debt, quickly learning and assessing new pieces of technology.

Available preferably as a contractor (part time or short term projects welcome), but I'll also consider full time involvement for principal roles (Head of Infrastructure, Lead DevOps, co-founder / CTO / VP Eng ) at startups.
