SEEKING WORK - Remote, travel possible depending on location and duration.
Location: North-east UK
What I do: Reliable, scalable services.
In the past I've run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica.  I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack.  This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular job, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.
I can help you build a back end for your new web or mobile app, or architect a scalable platform to power it.
I'm currently working on requirements and system architecture for an IoT project with a major traditional manufacturer in the UK, but have some availability coming up around 6 weeks from now.

- School data processing app (Elixir/Phoenix, PostgreSQL)
- Custom data dashboards (R, Geckoboard)
- High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)
- Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS
- Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)
- Proof-of-concept hardware development for projects linking the physical and virtual worlds in real time (Arduino, Node.js)
- Project management webapp for construction companies (Rails, AngularJS, Bootstrap)
Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, AWS, PostgreSQL, Perl, Common Lisp, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, Elixir, FreeBSD
