I'm looking for a part-time Systems Administration role in Melbourne, either in a senior capacity or happy to assist an existing sysadmin or development team. I'm mostly recovered from a long illness and want to get back to work, on a part-time basis (up to 3 days per week). Preferably in the City or Inner North near public transport. I can commute further if there is scope for telecommuting once I know your systems and people, and trust has been established. If you have a suitable position available or know of someone who does, please contact me by email. Why hire me? Pros: - I have over 20 years experience working with linux and unix - Over 30 years in IT, tech support, sysadmin type roles - I have excellent problem-solving skills - I have excellent English language communication skills - I can only work part time so you get a senior sysadmin at a discount part-time price, and I'm able to get things done both quickly and correctly. - My programming strengths are in systems administration and automation. - I'm a real-life cyborg (at least part-time, on dialysis) Cons: - My programming weaknesses are in applications development. - I can't travel at all. I have to dialyse every 2nd night. - I can't work late (except via telecommute) - I can't drink alcohol, not even beer. - I am on the transplant waiting list. At some time in the next few years I might get a phone call from the hospital and have to drop everything with 1 or 2 hours notice and be out of action for a few weeks. Full CV available on request.
