I am a helpdesk zen master, muckin' around with a lot of miscellanous tech since 1998. At work I support a monolithic SaaS CRM/office application, Terminal servers, GNU/Linux and FreeBSD servers, websites, network infrastructure and Windows workstations, as well as providing basic training and consultancy.

This is me:

• LAMP administration and coding
  • Linux, Apache, PHP and MySQL most of the time.
  • SVN for SCM.
  • XML, XPath, Xquery and the like.
  • Experience with FreeBSD, Postfix, Amavisd, maia-mailguard, Cacti, Backuppc, Plesk clusters.
  • Extensive experience with Bind9, Nagios3, Edge mailservers.
• CMSses, e-commerce and webdevelopment
  • I do a lot of work with Drupal.
  • I like wiki's, have installed and administrated several, and use them day-to-day as collaborative tools. My wiki of choice is Mediawiki.
  • Experience with most mainstream OSS server products: SugarCRM, phpBB, Magento, osCommerce derivatives, etc.
  • Will testdrive nearly any new, shiny, OSS software.
• Linux and OSS
  • Ubuntu Server for Shiny Servers
  • Debian Stable / Ubuntu LTS for production servers
  • Kubuntu for desktops and laptops
  • Almost exclusively use OSS desktop/server software. It just is better.
• Very Strange Music (check out my last.fm profile)

At the moment I'm working a day-job as a helpdesk/linux admin lackey and enjoying life. As per my contract i'm not accepting any work right now.
