SEEKING WORK - Remote, travel possible depending on location and duration.
Location: North-east UK
What I do: Backend engineer / Sysadmin.
Do you need a backend service to talk to your flashy new web / mobile app?
Does your current build and deployment system give you nightmares about the only dev  who understands it falling under a bus?
Need a proof-of-concept for your latest, hard-to-pigeonhole idea?
I do have experience of the full stack (including AngularJS and Coffeescript; see below) but am looking for work primarily involving the back end of the stack, or server admin / reliability / scaling.  In previous lives I've run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica.
Recent work:
* 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, Chef, AWS, Heroku, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Perl, Common Lisp, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR
Tools: Git for version control, Jira for issue tracking, HipChat to keep in touch.
