Freelance & Contract Work

freelance --available

Here's what I can do, what I'm good at, what it roughly costs, and how to contact me. If it involves Linux, infrastructure or automation, I've probably done it.

Availability: Currently available for remote Linux / DevOps roles, contract engagements and freelance infrastructure projects.

And to be clear: I'm also open to remote employment and contract DevOps / Linux infrastructure roles. This page is for project work, not my only career goal.

What I take on

Infrastructure Consulting

Architecture reviews, server setup, hardening, migrations and advice that comes from actually running production systems.

Linux Administration

Day-to-day administration, patching, monitoring, backups, and the unglamorous work that keeps systems alive.

DevOps & CI/CD

Pipelines that work: Jenkins, Ansible, Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions. Automated deploys and rollback strategies.

Automation Projects

If you do something twice, script it. Bash, Python, Ansible, and infrastructure as code done properly.

Cloud Infrastructure

AWS, DigitalOcean, OVH, Cloudflare. Design, migration, right-sizing, and getting the bill under control.

Troubleshooting & Performance

Slow site? Weird outages? Intermittent failures? I find root causes and fix them.

Migrations

Ecommerce platforms, servers, databases, caches, DNS. I have led 10+ large ones with minimal downtime.

Ongoing Contract Work

A few hours a week or a month of steady infrastructure support, without hiring a full-time ops person.
