Software I've worked on is used by millons of people every day, often for mission critical applications. Some of the software I've worked has been included in every GNU/Linux distribution ever made. In 2011, I was given an award for the Advancement of Free Software by the Free Software Foundation.. A partial list of projects is here

Here's some of the services I can provide as a consultant.

Build Infrastructure

I have huge expertise with build and test infrastructure that runs on multiple platforms. This includes decades of experience with the GNU Autotools, and other cross platform build systems like Open Embedded, Ltib, Yocto, Android, and custom systems.

Cross Compiler Toolchains

As one of the original Cygnus people working on changes to the the GNU toolchain to support cross compiling, I can make custom toolchains for a target platform relatively easily.

Software Architecture

I've both designed from scratch or re-factored dozens of applications, including several components used for Air Traffic Control, and robotics manufacturing systems.

Reverse Engineering

Figuring out how things work is great fun. I have highly developed skills at reading other people's code and making changes, as well as clean-room style of network protocols.

Embedded Flash

As the lead developer of Gnash, combined with my love of embedded systems, has given me much exoerience with making flash work on mobile devices by porting Gnash.

Remote Renewable Energy

As he owner of an off-grid house, as well as an experienced electrician who spends much tme in remote areas, I have much practical experience with small remote power systems. Plus as a winter mountaineer, I can get to places for repairs most people wouldn't try.

Distributed Project Management

I've worked from my home in the Colorado Rockies for 20 years on internationally distributed projects, and helped several organizations with the organizational changes required to support these typs of projects.
