My TLDR; 20+ years of experience in operations and scalability. I'm great with managing large scale buildouts either on-prem or in the cloud. On the management side I'm best when managing 1-15 people, as an IC I am self directing and am fine with any size team. I've been doing consulting for a while but I'm looking to join up with a team that has 1-5 engineers ideally but I'd be fine with a larger org if I think the product is cool. I tinker with embedded stuff, HAM radio and cooking unusual foods from around the world.
The clients, the server, the org that manages it.
I have the sneaking suspicion that I know your handle but I won't share lol. Feel free to email me or something.
It was hard work keeping the trolls at bay and the Lunix spammers/users in check.
The company itself seems to be riddled with problems so honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was dead in the next 48 months.
If you go real deep I went to the same highschool as JKH so sometimes we'd talk about that too...

Bonus Facts: Advised several successful startups on growth and strategy. Worked on HN (yes, here). Not looking for specific comp, more interested in the project than the money. If you're a small project and have no money, hit me up anyways, I'll help you out.
I guess we'll see in 30-90 days what happens (if anything).
I donate a reasonable portion of my profits to FIRE so I guess I'll find out where my dollars go :) That said they seem to support mostly noble causes so I'm not gonna stop giving them money.
I've also hit a few specific firmware bugs in drives, my favorite was a 49 day uptime bug related to a 32 bit counter.
Its one of those awful ops problems :)

FunFact: I used to help out with HN when I worked at YC.
Looking to go fulltime somewhere that my experience can be useful. Recently I've been doing some infrastructure work for AI companies that are building out compute resources, security/network auditing and automation. I would be open to doing more long-term contracting for the right company but ultimately I'd like to be in-house.
