I am available for technical consulting and strategic management work. Please contact me at jobs@aquick.org if you are interested in that sort of thing.

To answer the question "what kind of work am I looking for?"..., I'm certainly open to new things, but of the work I've done, I most prefer end-to-end project guidance. That is - straddling the business and technical sides of a project. Sitting down with people who have a need, identifying that need and the ways in which it can be filled with a tool, and then leading a development team to build that tool. I usually think of this role as "Architect/PM". I am interested in doing some development myself, but I usually pick out some tricky / core parts and do those, while assisting with the rest of the development. For example, in the last big CMS I worked on, I built the workflow and deployment management system. I pride myself on being able to elucidate requirements and then build systems that meet those requirements elegantly (with a team).

In addition to architecture, PM, and systems design and performance analysis, I am a good coder (I try to write clear, concise, and documented code), I can work in a number of languages, I'm comfortable picking up new environments, and I have strong skills in general CMS, workflow, process, data modeling, caching, general performance analysis and optmization, project management, security practices, and usability. I'm a solid Linux/FreeBSD sysadmin and network architect.

I've been using rails recently, and I'm terribly impressed from a web applications development standpoint. Generally, I'm not interested in Microsoft development.

I like to be challenged intellectually, I am an avid and creative problem solver, and I can help you. My experience has been largely technical, but I'm more than willing to consider other endeavors.

If you've made it this far, I urge you to click one link further and explore my blog. I find interesting links relating to technology, politics, cooking, art, and photography, and sometimes I comment on them.

I shoot a lot of pictures, many of which can be found on my Flickr page. I am occasionally available for corporate / event photography in the NYC area.

I have an infrequently updated personal product review blog. I am a discerning consumer, and I hope you'll be able to benefit from my experience.

Other things of note: my older hedge.net stuff (weird and eclectic) or someoftheanswers.com (mostly rants), or my livejournal blog, or my bloglines blog (which I don't use much), or my Sidekick blog (now defunct due to T-Mobile's heavy hand). I have sometimes used del.icio.us to catalog my bookmarks. Recently, I've been putting things I want to remember on my personal wiki.

If you like my work, and want to subscribe, I highly recommend Bloglines.
