PLEASE NOTE:
My hourly rate is high due to the fact I have a lot of small/often less-than-an-hour projects.
For longer engagements I am flexible with my rate.
***
I have over 20 years of LAMPish development and system administration (LAMP and Node.js apps.) I do this for my day job and as a hobby. My current focus is on AWS and Ubuntu-based stacks; however, I can work with any Linux distribution. A jack of many trades - in the system administration, devops, cloud, platform and site reliability engineering type roles.
Various skills:
System administration: AWS, VPSes (Linode and DO are my preferred providers), dedicated servers (Hetzner, Softlayer/IBM), everything in between. I've done it all from hardware selection, racking, configuring/deploying, and maintaining.
