Are you:

  . Facing an operational or architectural crisis with your cloud-based platform?
  . Trying to cut IT costs while maintaining efficiency and stability?

I provide DevOps services focused on solving specific operational problems in emergency or high-pressure situations. I deal with all aspects of systems engineering and SRE / DevOps processes, with special focus on IaaS, CI/CD, HA/DR design, Azure/AWS architecture and data-driven platforms.

My expertise is based on 30 years of hands-on technical experience in all areas of IT, but particularly in architecting, building and managing data-driven enterprise platforms.

Some of my recent work includes:

  . Go-live architectural review to address possible performance and scalability issues
  . Debugging and fixing of Kafka issues (broker, connect) in large clusters
  . Remediation of Cloud security gaps (private routing/endpoints, firewall rules, NSGs, hardened images)
  . Filling monitoring and logging gaps in complex Cloud-based systems
  . Reverse engineering manual cloud infrastructure setup for conversion to Terraform
  . Set-up of a new AWS/Azure region/AZ for DR purposes
  . Implementation of DevOps pipelines using GitLab, GitHub, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, etc.

Fullstack engineer and web developer with 24 years of experience.

I have a PhD in computer engineering, focusing on operations research (OR). I specialize in consulting and advising on OR matters for startups. In short, I can translate a real-world problem into a mathematical model that can be solved via integer programming, constraint programming, or other optimization methods. My goal is to provide a production-ready solution for any type of problem you might have related to OR.

For example, I've been contracted by a company to create a user-tunable, multi-objective optimization model for the automatic selection of indexes in Postgres databases.

Hi! Do you need engaging, useful technical content but not a full-time tech writer?

That amazing thing you're building--I can show people how to use it. I'm a tech writer with extensive experience in documenting complex systems for demanding technical and non-technical users. And I've helped documentation teams to write more and fuss less by implementing process improvements and automation.

Recent projects: Technical blogging, ghost writing, and user documentation for SaaS platforms, embedded software development tools, distributed radiology workflow systems, machine learning, and open source software.

My experience:

https://github.com/marcpaq

https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcpaq/

I have over 20 years’ experience building software, specialising in:

• Technical applications (mathematical, scientific, engineering)

• Software for hardware (IoT, embedded, lab equipment)

• Interesting presentation (custom UIs, data viz, multimedia/video)

My target market is start-ups/scale-ups/SMEs needing immediate help with either hands-on development work or strategic advice, technical design, etc.

For small to medium applications — such as an MVP for a startup, a UI for a hardware product, or implementing mathematical models and visualisations for researchers — I can offer a fully outsourced development service if required.

I can also join an existing team temporarily to give a short-term boost, perhaps helping with a challenging project or co-ordinating a larger initiative across teams. This can include a training/mentoring element if you need to upskill quickly.

Every project is different and will be treated as such, but recently I’ve been favouring TypeScript or Python for web development (with React or Vue for UI work) and Python, C++ or Haskell for more technical or hardware-related work. I have experience with a wide range of target platforms from AWS to embedded ARM.

If you have a project that I may be able to help you with, you’re welcome to get in touch. My contact details are in my profile.

Are you a business looking for web or print design services?
