I’m looking for a permanent (preferred) or contract remote DevOps/SRE position as an individual contributor or manager.

A long time ago, in a Silicon Valley far away, I was a hotshot IT/Ops engineer, manager, and even director, at several high-profile startups. Then I moved to Brazil and here I've been planting trees and raising chickens and practicing permaculture. I did keep a toe in tech and I have a really good Internet connection thanks to a 20m antenna tower I built myself. Now I have “saudade” for being a hacker, and I also need an income. So I’ve been polishing up my skills for a while, and now I’m ready to get to work!

Although located in Brazil, I am an EU citizen and have an address and bank account in Germany, which may facilitate hiring.

Forgive me if this is off-topic, but I'd really love to hear more about living and working remotely "somewhere in the Atlantic Rainforest". Do you have or have you considered making a blog?

Sorry but I'm a bit curious. Who/what do you communicate to with that large antenna? Is there an ISP that supports longrange connections like that? Is it satellite based?
