SEEKING WORK | Devops Consultant | Remote

Software consultant with 20+ years experience. I was doing devops before the word “devops” was a thing.

Services:

* Automated testing & continuous delivery (CI/CD pipeline)

* Cloud infrastructure architecture and build-out (IaC)

* Dockerization, microservices, & orchestration

* Bespoke developer tools (Golang, Python, etc)

Recent project:

Developed an open source plugin for Terraform allowing it to provision Rollbar.com resources. Delivered on time and under budget, with no supervision and twice-monthly status meetings. Code has complete documentation, a full set of unit and integration tests with 95% coverage, automatic test runs using Github Actions, A+ quality rating by CodeClimate, and continuous delivery using semantic-release. Deliverables passed internal dogfooding with zero issues identified.

Agreed - the right column is a waste of screen space and makes the reading experience generally unpleasant.
