SEEKING WORK - London, UK - Remote preferred

DevOps / Python nerd with over a decade's experience building, hosting and tuning applications.

I work closely with dev teams throughout the application lifecycle to host their code so it's scalable and robust for the long term. AWS, Kubernetes, load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even led whole infrastructure teams.

Recent projects include:

+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Updated a sprawling Django/Postgres app to fit modern containerized hosting, resulting in a stack that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Templating via Helm for multiple, namespaced stack instances; automated deploys from CI.

+ Another AWS/k8s/Docker stack, this time with a persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring.

+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Didn't get rich, still working.

+ Chef-managed deployment of large microservice stack across varied configurations on cloud and physical servers

+ Support & enhancements for a sizeable stack of Django applications

PhD in quantum optics, 10+ years with Python.

Over the past two years I have had the pleasure of working as a remote contractor to help stand up two different Python/Django products. In both cases, I became the primary developer in terms of the volume of contributed code. Both products became multi-million dollar commercial successes as we built them.

I have up to 20 spare hours to give to an interesting project. Recently, I put some effort into learning to create fast code in Rust (https://github.com/dhbradshaw/ProjectEulerFastRust). Preference goes to any project that lets me continue to progress in that area.
