I am a freelance Platform Specialist from Leicester in the UK. After a long stint in technical/application support, systems administration and now DevOps it was obvious that providing operational support was a true skill that needed to be enhanced and so I began to work for various small to large companies on a freelance basis. I have worked for clients such as Walt Disney, AOL, British Telecom, BUPA and Hiscox, which have furthered my love of operational support, as well as improving my analytical skills and self-motivation. Why choose me: 1. Over two decades of real world IT experience. 15 years of which devoted to supporting web/middleware technologies, infrastructures and software development teams using Java & .Net. 2. Extensive work experience administering Linux/Windows servers, cloud and open source technologies. 3. Strong design skills, expertise in a wide range of infrastructure technologies. 4. I am a multifaceted, creative, team player with a "go get 'em" attitude and a lot to offer my employer. 5. Responsible, highly resourceful, detail-oriented, reliable, goal-oriented, self-motivated, open-minded, and willing to learn.
