Consulting

I have been consulting various industries and environments for more than 10 years with projects ranging from small to large in size. The two main areas of consulting for me are Open Source and Linux. Under each one of these I cover a broad aspect of both. Whether you are looking for strategic or technical consulting, I would enjoy the opportunity to help lead you into the future.

Open Source

Having worked on a vast array of open source projects, my inside knowledge and steep connections within the open source world can help mold your decision. No matter the open source solution you are looking for, I can provide you the assistance you are looking for.

Open source solutions in which I cover include, but are not limited to:

• Web Services
  • Apache
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • Django
  • and more...
• Desktop Services
  • K Desktop Environment
  • GNOME Desktop Environment
  • Office Suites
  • Accounting
  • and more...
• Servers
  • Internet
  • Email
  • Telephony
  • Commerce
  • and more...
• Cloud Computing
  • Amazon EC2
  • Distributed Storage Networks
  • and more...

Linux

Since 1993, I have had the opportunity to contribute to various Linux distributions such as SUSE, Red Hat, Debian, Ubuntu, and others. I am currently spending a bit of time as a core developer for the Ubuntu Linux distribution, today's top Linux desktop operating system. With my experience in the Linux world, including the partnerships I have created over the past 15 years, I can assure you that we can help provide the best solution for your problem.

Linux distributions supported include, but are not limited to:

• Ubuntu
• Debian
• Red Hat
• Novell
• CentOS
• any other Linux operating system

BSD is also supported by me if you are interested.

Fees

A lot of consultants out there tend to over charge and over sell their abilities. I promise that if I am not able to help you, I will help you find the right person in order to do so at no cost to you.

If you are looking to switch from a proprietary solution to an open source solution, then why should you spend more money? One of the benefits of switching to open source is typically the lower amount of costs involved. I have a great respect for companies that are looking at switching to open source and because of this I provide reduced and very competitive fees.

If you have a project you are looking at and would like to know how much it would cost you, please do not hesitate to contact me.
