About

Experience

During my years in tech I have worked with a lot of different things: managed an IT-department, Java backend consulting, IT Security (process and hands on), developed software for Vending Machines, Javascript and frontend, GIS, Product Development, done a startup, Big Data and Data Engineering, devops, System Administration.

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

This is a word cloud on some of the recent tools and tech I have worked with (size indicates experience):

Weak spots

I haven't done a lot of C/C++. Anything Microsoft is a big unknown, but their new direction looks interesting: open sourcing .Net, Azure, Github. I can do basic SQL but when the query start to span ten lines I get a headache. I like to manage Linux servers, but don't put me in charge of a data center or a rack of Cisco gear.

What I'm looking for

I have contributed small things to Open Source, but I would love to be able to get paid working full time with a larger project.
Working remote is something I'd like to do more, at least part time. Having a workplace with eye-to-eye conversations a few days a week would be ideal.
Mentoring, e-learning and public speaking would also be fun. Between projects I started looking into making educational material, but then a new project took all the spare time away. Would be fun to take that up again.
Helping get a product from idea to market. Looking back, the feeling when you get things ready to ship is addictive. Releasing the bits out into the world.

What I stay away from

Employment. I value the independence (unless it's a match made in heaven).
A manager position with no tech
Questionable clients (gambling, porn, scammers, extremists)
Startups without either funding or a great++ idea

Sounds interesting?

Please contact me if you think we would be a good match.
