I've spent my 25 year engineering career building hosting platforms, JVMs and emulators - software platforms to host other people's code and make it run faster, more reliably, or more cheaply.
I co-founded and was CEO [1] of Bytemark, a British hosting company (2002-2018). I designed a flexible VM hosting platform [2] and storage layer [3] that is still in service today. I did some network automation and wrote a small BGPv4 implementation from specs [4]. Other work and past positions on the URL above!
My ideal is ≈30hrs/week employment (or contract work) from October 2023, for any company that needs an engineer for a high-margin in-house hosting platform. If it's particularly relevant to my experience, I'm happy to look at a smaller or short-term project.
