Senior Platform Engineering Contractor

I seek contract platform engineering projects. I can help early stage startups set up infrastructure and CICD so founders can focus on PMF. And I can help established software companies with outdated infrastructure adopt modern tools and practices. I have 15 years of experience in startup software development and DevOps across web apps, cloud, and Linux networking. 10 years of leadership in teams of up to 7 people. I have built infrastructure using Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Digital Ocean, and Linode. Accomplishments include: Built a platform for hosting web apps using Kubernetes at a major cloud provider and taught engineers to operate and improve it. Introduced Terraform, Helm, and incident management processes. Led a B2B SaaS company through their first SOC 2 Type II audit. Created an application CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and Gitlab, resulting in a DORA performance score of 8.0. Published and maintained the community Apt package for Helm, downloaded more than 200,000 times per month. Created a system to control calls in Asterisk with AI-trained voice commands.
