I have extensive experience in every aspect of web application development, from hardware to code. I'm fluent in every major software language and framework (even the nearly-dead ones) and I have a personal interest in application security. I'm open to all projects, and prioritize interesting work for non-profit and climate action organizations. In the past year I have completed projects as diverse as setting up a dedicated server pool from leased bare-metal servers for HikeItBaby.com (Xenserver pool, load balancing, redundant backups to AWS Glacier and private storage), redesigning the database and user flow for the Columbia Basin Water Transaction Program (they buy water rights from landowners to preserve it for native fish species), implemented custom Google Analytics flows and Event Tracking for a mortgage brokership in L.A., audited and hardened a high-profile social justice PR firm's server stack to prevent further hacking attacks, and set up a couple dozen Wordpress websites for small businesses, political campaigns, and non-profits. Communication is the key to any successful project; it's crucial that both parties understand, prior to executing any strategy, exactly what will be built and how success will be determined. I strive to ensure that mutual understanding is achieved, and that everyone is pleased with the expected result. I love what I do, and because of my extensive experience I work quickly and efficiently. I'd love to hear about your project.

I specialize in Linux solutions and services. I have extensive experience installing and configuring Debian, Redhat, CentOS, Fedora, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu servers. In the past I've also worked with Solaris and some work with FreeBSD. I've been working with Linux and open source software for over 15 years. Some of the services I can set and configure are: e-mail servers and web servers (known as the LAMP stack). Virtualization: I've configured numerous KVM servers, also experienced with Amazon EC2, and VMware. Asterisk based VoIP solutions are something I've worked on in the past (typically configured with FreePBX as a front end). Also I'm very familiar with network security. Anything from setting up firewalls, to VPN's utilizing the OpenVPN server or Wireguard. Some of my side projects are setting up Home Assistant for home automation and Frigate for object based detection. You'll find my skill set diverse enough to handle almost any Linux based project.
