SEEKING WORK - Gothenburg, Sweden. Remote. May be willing to relocate within Sweden/Norway.

I'm a generalist currently working for a small IT-consulting agency but planning to start freelancing from January, 2015 (Or if you have a really, really cool full time job, we can talk about that, too.)

I've spent the last year or so doing mostly sysadmin and networking stuff among a crazy amount of Windows servers and Cisco routers. Before that, I've done all kinds of IT-stuff for translation agencies, from custom e-mail servers through integration CAT tools into their Project Management systems to building in-house .NET applications.

Volunteered a few months working out performance issues in a huge Rails 3 app two years ago, caching, mysql tweaks etc. Made an app entirely in client-side JS with the local public transportation's API because, well, why not. (http://github.com/KTamas/nasta)

I have experience with C#, Javascript, HTML/CSS, Ruby, shell scripting, Linux/Windows servers, Cisco iOS, CAT tools, Nginx, Postfix, Dovecot, Exchange...

Bottom line: I solve problems and can learn whatever you throw at me really fast. Contact me if you need someone like that.
