SEEKING WORK 1. Private colocated clouds (Simple example: https://gist.github.com/rockymadden/5561377 https://gist.github.com/rockymadden/5561377): - Major cost reduction over services like AWS and Heroku. - Custom built hardware for your exacting needs. - Setups allow you to grow with your hardware. - Work with local (to you) and remote datacenters to deploy private cloud(s) near you, via colocation (10RU leases at 2 to 3 DCs works well). - International datacenter deployment possible at a fairly minimal cost. - Failover at all points, including the hardware, server, and datacenter levels. - SmartOS or Xen hypervisor based clouds with Ansible. - Pricing is directly related to how much your costs are reduced. - Minimal disruptions to cash-flows. - Numerous cost reducing strategies for much more dramatic savings over the example. Seriously, if you apply concepts like eventual consistency, load distribution/offloading, and understand the trade-offs between 9s and $ it gets super interesting. - I can help you setup the entire stack (e.g. hardware, hypervisors, automated allocation/deployment, automated migrations, maintenance strategies, etc). - If you have a solid engineering team, the maintenance of such a setup is much less than you might expect (i.e. ~3 hours a week). No need to hire someone. 2. Machine learning, nlp, ocr, expert systems: - Leveraging Clojure, Scala, and Haskell. - Multiple 42u racks can be devoted to your jobs during/after development. 3. More about me (Website: http://rockymadden.com/ http://rockymadden.com/): - Freelancing is only done a few months per year, as I run my own successful data-centric platforms (going on 7-years now). Platform income is passive, so I can slip away a few months a year for interesting projects/teams/problems.
