SEEKING WORK - based in SF Bay Area or US/Canada remote
Hi, I'm an IT infrastructure operations manager, director, architect and whatnot, working on my own project to make life of other IT infrastructure folks easier.
I can:
1. Help you build your infrastructure, if you already decided to migrate from AWS
2. Run the cost analysis for you if you're not yet decided
3. Tell you if it is worth the effort and why and when and how
4. Help you find right people to run your infrastructure
5. Select vendors, work with them and get you the best price
6. If necessary, I can build a small datacenter with my bare hands and then run it :-)
7. Help you with your application to scale it and make it effectively use the infrastructure you just invested in.
I've built infrastructures from 1-2 racks of used servers 3 generations old in dirt cheap crappy colo space to $10M brand new bleeding etch hardware in a shiny new facility in the heart of Silicon Valley (or Midwest, or East Coast, or Europe).
I have 20+ years of experience in software development (everything from kernel drivers and network stacks to Erlang backends and JS single page application frontends) of which 10+ years I spent as a devops guy for different web/software companies of which, in turn, 5+ years as "director of infrastructure/devops/cloud" for quite large software/SaaS companies.
To build my product I want to help as much companies as possible. As such, even if you don't have money (or have very little) to pay for my services, but your case is somewhat interesting for me, we still can work together.
