SEEKING WORK - devops - san francisco or remote

i live in san francisco and most recently was the lead devops engineer at bleacher report, the 3rd largest sports website and the 36th most trafficked website in the states. i am a consulting (systems administrator | systems engineer | devops engineer | site reliability engineer) and am currently looking for a new client.

here's a brief description of the work i did at bleacher report, which is the 3rd largest sports website and the 34th most trafficked website in the us. i reduced costs by migrating from engineyard to aws. i built completely new infrastructure and increased scalability & reliability by using autoscaling. i succeeded in halving monthly infrastructure costs from ~$150k to ~$80k and refactored chef cookbooks for all stacks. managed traffic surges of key sports events that surpassed 2,000 requests per second.
