~18 YoE across backend development, DevOps/SRE/platform engineering, and many other hats. Name drops include Red Hat (quay.io), Rackspace (internal tooling), and Equinix Metal/Packet (platform engineering). Also went through NSF's I-Corps startup program in the early 2010s, so I'm relatively business-aware.

I left my last full-time role in November to go all-in on freelance work and solo projects (homesteading, indie game dev). Now taking on project-based or fractional engagements. No staff augmentation or pager duty.

I bounce between architecture/systems design and hands-on implementation. Looking to build long-term relationships.

Side note: I've used Go professionally and am currently enjoying Rust, but compared to my depth with Python, I won't pretend to be a specialist in either. I'd love projects that push me toward more low-level systems programming or are tangent to my homestead (future sensors/IoT) and Game Dev interests.

Thanks!
