SEEKING WORK | USA | Remote

Timezone: Eastern / Atlantic

15+ years experience with Full-Stack development and related hats (DevOps, CI, Data Plumbing). Most of my expert-level programming experience involved Python but I love to learn and have used many languages+tools. Lately I’ve been diving deeper into systems-level languages such as C++, C, and Rust as well as revisiting C# for game dev. I’ve toyed with Unity and Unreal Engine but am far from an expert with either.

I am slowly pivoting out of the infrastructure/tech-focused industry (Rackspace, Red Hat, Equinix Metal, etc) to the video game industry where I hope to acquire more skills writing game backends and tooling. I’m not fully walking away from application development — just having some fun and expanding my horizons.

I have a full time salary DevOps position but open to meeting with potential clients who need help or consultation for less than 10 flexible hours/week; especially if it’s game-tangent. In the long-term future, I still hope to pursue working fully independently (freelance/consulting/entrepreneur) so maybe I will have more availability as your needs grow. On the other hand, my current job or an unforeseen future position could keep me completely comfortable; only time will tell! Startups are always a gamble.
