SEEKING WORK
1. Private colocated clouds (Simple example: <a href="https://gist.github.com/rockymadden/5561377" >):
  - Major cost reduction over services like AWS and Heroku.
  - Custom built hardware for your exacting needs.
  - Setups allow you to grow with your hardware.
  - Work with local (to you) and remote datacenters to deploy private cloud(s)
  near you, via colocation (10RU leases at 2 to 3 DCs works well).
  - International datacenter deployment possible at a fairly minimal cost.
  - Failover at all points, including the hardware, server, and datacenter levels.
  - SmartOS or Xen hypervisor based clouds with Ansible.
  - Pricing is directly related to how much your costs are reduced.
  - Minimal disruptions to cash-flows.
  - Numerous cost reducing strategies for much more dramatic savings over the example.
  Seriously, if you apply concepts like eventual consistency, load
  distribution/offloading, and understand the trade-offs between 9s and $ it
  gets super interesting.
  - I can help you setup the entire stack (e.g. hardware, hypervisors,
  automated allocation/deployment, automated migrations, maintenance strategies, etc).
  - If you have a solid engineering team, the maintenance of such a setup is much less than
  you might expect (i.e. ~3 hours a week). No need to hire someone.

2. Machine learning, nlp, ocr, expert systems:
  - Leveraging Clojure, Scala, and Haskell.
  - Multiple 42u racks can be devoted to your jobs during/after development.

3. More about me (Website: <a href="http://rockymadden.com/" >):
  - Freelancing is only done a few months per year, as I run my own successful
  data-centric platforms (going on 7-years now). Platform income is
  passive, so I can slip away a few months a year for interesting
  projects/teams/problems.
