Thanks for your interest! I'm an IT professional with nearly fifteen years of experience in a variety of fields. I'm looking for some small one-off or contract work in exchange for Bitcoin.
What I've done:
- Linux system administration with an emphasis on best practices and documentation of work
- Security auditing and hardening of public-facing and internal servers
- Management and coordination of developer teams
- Management of the software development lifecycle, including transforming blue-sky brainstorming into functional software specifications, creation of simple mockups and prototypes, and actual implementation
- Creation and maintenance of complex web-based applications in a variety of environments
- Auditing of server performance & application scalability involving both fixed and dynamic load balancing
Some things I could do for you:
- Help you transform that website idea into a functional specification that anyone can implement
- Implement that functional specification
- Review PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby and other code that others have written for best practices, security vulnerabilities and other oddities
- Server security & performance audits
- Web application security & performance audits
- Setup of rock-solid server backups, on and off-site
.
What I
don't like doing:
- Skinning / basic HTML and CSS from scratch
- Complex design work; I'm not an artist, the things I create are simple and functional
- Working with SMF, osCommerce, Drupal and Joomla
- Desktop support
- Voice chat / voice support (skype, phone, etc)
I generally do work evenings, Pacific US time. Work will only be performed once we agree on a light-weight
statement of work.
Shoot me a PM to get started, or feel free to ask questions here.
