Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (January 2023)

I design & build anti-fragile, reliable sysadmin / SRE/ DevOps stuff; anything from Python monitoring scripts to cloud-based infrastructure design and implementations.

I usually work with customers who have urgent operational needs that require an immediate short-term engagement.

My expertise is based on 30 years of hands-on technical experience in all areas of IT, but particularly in architecting, building and managing data-driven enterprise platforms.

Recent examples of my work:

  - Organisational-level DevOps tooling and security implementations
  - Global Azure infrastructure deployment, management and security (Terraform, DevOps, KMS, AppGw)
  - Python-based SRE scripting for monitoring custom federated clusters using Consul, Vault, Nomad
  - Productionalising Kafka and Confluent clusters (SSL, SASL, ACLs, Debezium)
  - Tracking down performance bottlenecks in Elasticsearch and Solr
  - Stabilisation of complex Java-based containerised applications
  - Validation of greenfield project designs
  - Single-pane-of-glass dashboard design in Datadog, Splunk and Azure
  - Deploying a global, multi-cloud, Kubernetes-based PaaS (AWS and Azure)

I have 10 - 20 hours per week and I'm looking to build experience in tech by working on a project. Direct remuneration is not a priority (unpaid is a possibility). I would be happy to work on open source, or on commercial software. I'd love to chat to companies/other developers and would be happy to prove my skills/potential. I'm familiar with source control, testing and other general software development tools/methods so I'd hope to be up and running quickly.

Willing to relocate: No, but can fly within the US for brief periods

DevOps Architect, Senior Technical Operations Engineer, Manager/Mentor/Leader. Expert in scaling, building production and development infrastructure from scratch, datacenter migrations, CI/CD process and pipelines, migration to (and from!) cloud. I'm a software architect and developer grown into the Ops role, I know how the software works at scale.

I joined two companies midway at the crossroads, rebuilt their infrastructure from the ground, enabled scale (and in one case - massive growth), scaled the team and went IPO with them.

I have a lot of experience making apps "cloud native" and diagnosing problems with resource utilization, starvation, efficiency.

Cloud bill optimization throughout: from billing manipulations to resource optimization.

I'm also very good at hiring engineers and I can help you interview and select right people for the job. I've worked for and built excellent teams in companies of all sizes, from hundreds of thousand people to series-A startups. I also worked a lot in outsourcing and can help select and manage an outsourced team.

I work fully or partially remote, built and run fully remote teams since 1994 and have a lot of experience to share.
