Miniature enterprises depending on open source technologies count on businesses and individuals experienced in aggressive growth and integration of custom and off-the-shelf solutions while keeping open source more than a figment of their imagination and desires, but a primary focus in business development.
With vast troubleshooting, implementation and management skills, no problem is too small nor too large. Experiences include application development in perl and PHP for the small business for maintaining inventory, to large-scale data warehouse management, planning and maintenance for international corporations utilizing PostgreSQL and MySQL.
Coupling years of database and development experience, keep open source to the core, through planning, deployment and management of Linux systems from end to end, including but not limited to desktop environments (KDE, Gnome) to server solutions with BIND, Apache, sendmail, postfix and qmail; and of course, you can't forget endpoint implementations of iptables, squid, snort and OpenS/WAN.
