SEEKING WORK - Currently Remote from Thailand (UTC+7), with potential for short on-site trips if necessary. Relocating to Australia soon(ish).

20 years experience across a mixture of Ops/Infrastructure/Dev-Tools and web application architecture/development, with a focus on solving unique/uncommon problems.

I’m looking for opportunities to help companies with

- backend/server-side architecture & development (primarily PHP MVC);

- system integration; and/or

- server infrastructure setup/maintenance.

I currently work remotely from Thailand, on a reasonably flexible schedule (I can schedule work hours to get overlap with most other timezones when required) but on-site visits to pretty much anywhere are a possibility if required too.

Contact me via email (in my profile) if you want to have a chat about what you’re working on!
