Remote on-demand capacity available for Ops,Dev,Qa work in English, German, French language

While bootstrapping my product, I can take on paid work for clients to pay the bills.

I have some areas of recent 'expertise' matching the projects I just came out of: AWS infrastructure as code (using cloudFormation, terraform + terragrunt), AWS lambda using java, classic shell scripting tools (bash, sed, awk), test automation, continuous integration, .net Framework workload migration to AWS

Then there are other areas of 'interest' to which I gravitate because of personal projects, such as functional reactive programming, privacy, cryptocurrency, cybersecurity. I'd like to develop myself in those areas going forwards, and the product I'm working on will reflect that.

But I am actually a generalist, spanned the spectrum from senior java dev to test automation engineer to QA Director, then joined the rank of the 'unemployables', for the relative insecurity of freelance work in 2012. Since then I've been working with people who knew me from past positions, without any marketing or any CV. And it worked out just fine. The honeymoon of 7 years is over, now I'm ready to take on new customers that I've had no prior interactions with. I'm not too warm at the idea of UpWork which feels like Mechanical Turks for higher paying jobs, yet still a race to the bottom.

I only wish I had found Indie Hackers sooner.

This is my first "open for business" post, so be gentle If I've broken any etiquette.
Feel free to reach out in the comments, and we can take it from there.
