    I've been on Elance (now UpWork) for a long time. From 2013 to 2016, I did a lot of Minecraft-related system administration, technical writing, and support tasks. Now my professional life is in Linux System Administration within an onsite HPC cluster, with a jack-of-all trades mindset. I dabble in networking (with a CCNA), Linux SA with focuses on RHEL/CentOS, and a bit of Windows. Linux system administration is my current preferred work.

    I am an IT Consultant and software engineer, specializing in blockchain and Linux Administration. I have worked on a range of projects, particularly pertaining to back-end development, cyber-security, arbitrage crypto trading, pen-testing, data analysis, API integration, web scraping open source intelligence gathering, and more. My primary programming languages are Python3 and the Bash shell. My IT career began in 2014 as an IT Consultant for the city of Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Originally I offered to volunteer my time to better the community, with the theory that if you are good at something, eventually someone will pay you to do it. As it turns out, I was correct, and it wasn't long before I was offered a job. My first task was installing Linux Ubuntu on several hundred computers that were donated to the city by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Obviously the disks were wiped before we got the computers, so there was no operating system. I saw this as a perfect opportunity to help my community transition away from proprietary software, embracing open source systems instead. During 2016-2017, I co-founded a server hosting company. As a client of several different hosting providers myself, I felt that I could do better. This experience taught me much, including KVM and other virtualization technologies, sharpened my web design skills, and made me a better businessman. Late 2017 through early 2019 I worked on a confidential project relating to cryptographic currency trading and automation. This job changed my life forever; the experience was a catalyst to success and financial freedom. My role was diverse; I was both the project manager, one of the developers, and the architect for the system that we built. Today I am a self employed contractor, working as a software engineer, system administrator, and consultant. I specialize in security and blockchain, and I have written countless security tools and several automated trade platforms. More recently I have began to specialize in administering various blockchain/cryptocurrency technologies -- for example, recently I began working as an engineer/sysadmin deploying a block producing node on a proof of stake network. And most recently, I am doing a lot of web3 related projects. **Note for Prospective Clients**: If you're curious why after ten years of only ever getting 5 star reviews, I somehow managed to get a 1 star review, the answer is that I was deceived, manipulated, and extorted by that so-called "client". I lost six months of my life, and then had to pay for the privilege. That was not a job. It was a hit job.

    My name is K.B Asare and i have nearly 10 years experience in the IT industry. In the past 8 years I narrowed that experience and expertise to cover many aspects of enterprise networking. I have in the past 6 years have primarily worked in the administration and management of Linux, Redhat/ Centos 7 servers, as well as Windows systems administration. I have industry certifications in Network+ and Security +. This solid foundation has allowed me to be able to manage, troubleshoot, configure and secure many aspects of a company's physical and virtual networks. Furthermore, I have administered Linux/Windows servers physically and virtually either in the cloud, as in the case of AWS/Azure or virtually using VMWARE. I have build servers from scratch in a physical or virtual environment and in some cases using a PXE server. At the browser or using Putty, I can also do basic management, troubleshooting and configuration of different brands of routers and switches including some Cisco. In summary, in an environment where a company has either 50 or 1500 Linux/Windows servers both physically or virtually, i can administer those systems as well as setup manage and troubleshoot network components like routers and switches to maximize productivity and minimize downtime for the company/team. Having worked closely with the DevOps team in my current environment, I have utilized automation tools like Ansible and puppet. I helped the team build docker containers and loaded images, as well as Kubernetes nodes. Aside from my technical know-how, i work well in a team setting, require very little supervision and take initiatives where needed. I am a fast learner with a tireless work ethic. If there is an issue or subject matter i am not familiar with, you can rest assured that i will endeavor to acquire the knowledge i need to make a positive impact for the company or team to assist in their Linux administration and networking needs. Thank you.
