I've got a nice profile on LinkedIn, too: https://linkedin.com/in/boldandbusted

I pride myself on being a fan of low-level technologies (I can fix broken DNS setups, I read the Linux Kernel source for better understanding of the kernel, I actually love Gentoo Linux...), but also someone who advises big corporate and startup leaders on how to work better with their computing engineers, and who helps build empathy between silos (like actually bringing Dev and Ops together). Seeking contracts and full-time work, short term, mid-term and long-term.

Cheers, and thanks for this post, Hacker News! :)
