IT techie – available for hire

I’m now full time self-employed. If you’d like to hire me as an IT consultant then drop me a line. I’m well experienced with all kinds of free and open source software with a specific focus on web and database services, security and networking. Some things I’ve been working with lately:

• Apache and Lighttpd web services
• Ruby on Rails and PHP deployment
• MySQL database services
• Netfilter firewalling
• OpenVPN and OpenS/WAN VPNs

Over the years I’ve worked with many companies with diverse networks and services, including recently: one of the largest NHS software suppliers, an international travel company and an online pharmacy.

I’m local to the Leeds area in the UK but I often do things remotely so can work with any company in the world. Hourly rates are dependent on the type and length of the job.

I’m doing this work under the business name ifup. There is website over at www.ifup.co.uk but it’s a little scant on details at the moment. More to come.
