SEEKING WORK | London, UK | REMOTE
* Senior DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer and tech lead. Ex-Facebook SRE, nearly 20 years of experience.
* Systems design, scalability, performance, technical due diligence, CTO-on-demand.
* AWS / Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Linux, Ansible, CI/CD, GitOps, cloud native ecosystem, observability... and many more topics!
I primarily help startups solve their DevOps, infrastructure and scalability challenges, for example :
- Troubleshooting urgent performance, scalability or reliability issues, providing both immediate mitigation and a long term plan.
- Migrating from a PaaS to Kubernetes on AWS / GCP.
- Auditing an existing platform and making suggestions for scalability and cost effectiveness.
- Assisting CTOs with cloud native infrastructure / software architecture / technology decisions.
- Mentoring developers (database choices, containers, microservices, CI/CD, 12Factor, performance and security)
DevOps/SRE is my core skillset, but I'm a "T-shaped" engineer who can help with technology vision, systems design, CI/CD and operational best practices, mentoring and general engineering wisdom. I excel at understanding short vs long-term trade-offs, tackling performance bottlenecks &amp; technical debt, and quickly learning and assessing new pieces of technology. I also have keen awareness of product &amp; business matters.
I'm available both for short one-off projects, and long term collaboration up to 3-4 days / week.
I may also consider employment in a senior DevOps or tech lead role for the right company.
