Syadmin as a Service

Do you want to improve your scaling, resilience and reliability, but don't have a full-time Ops person on the team? Why not rent one?

I work with startups and online businesses to help them spend less time worrying about technical problems, and more time growing their business.

How can I help you?

- Expert sysadmin services, on tap

- Continuous Integration for your infrastructure

- Infrastructure design and implementation

- Server maintenance and optimisation (performance and cost)

- Quickly get up and running with tools like Docker, Mesos and Salt Stack

About Me

I am the author of AWS System Administration: http://www.amazon.com/AWS-System-Administration-practices-sy...

Here's an AWS case study for an infrastructure I built: http://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/fashiolista/

If you think these services could help your business grow, let's talk. mike@epitech.nl

SEEKING WORK - Remote (Paris, France - but can travel in Europe)

I’m Tommy. I help SaaS businesses make more money by optimizing their sales funnel.

1- Visitor-To-Signup: get more people to try your product

2- Signup-To-Activation: define a better first experience and get more people actually using your product

3- Trial-To-Revenue: convert those free trials into paid customers, by designing your product for it

How do I do this? I help bridge the gap between marketing and engineering and do fast cycles of A/B testing to test new ways for you to make more money.

Examples:

- I write and integrate lifecycle emails into your product (I have spent years writing complex software products so you don’t have to worry about it)

- I help you find sources of churn by looking for user feedback and analyzing it

- I work on copywriting to find the best way to get a user to sign up for your product

- I help you design your free trial in order to maximize your customer success, which creates happy customers and a better business for you

I’m an engineer/marketer with 10 years experience in software and developed my own products. You can subscribe to my newsletter about SaaS conversions here: http://saasfoundry.io
