SEEKING WORK - Remote
Located in the Southwest, seeking a remote position with flexible hours (doing a welding certification for a year, looking to work full time or close to that but I can't do a typical 9-5).
- +5 years experience working as a PHP dev. Spending a lot more time with Python and Go lately and would feel comfortable doing production level projects in Python soon. Fluent in Javascript (vanilla or jQuery) as well and up to date on HTML5 and happy to do frontend, although I excel at large sized backend projects. 
- Experience with Zend, Yii, Symphony, Wordpress,... always eager to pick up new things and I'll make sure to fanatically learn whatever framework(s) needed.
- I write solid OOP code, follow MVC best practices.
- Production experience with Subversion and Mercurial (and adding Git to that would be a breeze).  
- Very security conscious, at all levels of the stack. Looking to expand on that and become a coder/pentester hybrid over the next year.
- +8 years running Linux exclusively. Very comfortable around a command line. Happy to set up, secure, troubleshoot and maintain any server. Lots of CentOS production level experience. I've saved the day more than once diagnosing and fixing app performance issues that were a combination of server and code layer problems :)
- Fluent in English, Dutch and Spanish. Euro expat with permanent residency in the US.
- Not a drone, always happy to contribute ideas and to respectfully offer alternatives without being a buttmunch about it or losing sight of project leadership/track. 
- Good communicator, I have a good knack for translating nerd speak into understandable English (or Spanish or Dutch). Not afraid of people either, you could actually put me in a room with customers or the marketing department without resulting in long awkward silences.
- Experience working in teams or solo, equally happy doing either one. I can be relied on to work without for months on end if needed without wasting too much time on supervision, but I'm never afraid to ask to feedback or info when needed.
Looking preferably for a small team or a single position. Looking for something long term if possible, not the job hopper type.
Happy to provide code samples and/or do a test run together.
