I'm a former PPE and current MSci (Hons) Computer Science Innovation scholar at Lancaster University. I am also a seasoned Linux systems architect specialising in virtualisation. I am based in Lancaster, in the Northwest of England.
If you're having problems with your Linux servers, I'm here to help. I work quickly, only charge for time spent actually fixing things and speak plain, native english. Best of all, I can usually get started straight away and have your job completed within a few minutes.

I have experience in a variety of roles, so I will be happy to help you with a number of things.
Quick FixesIf you have a minor problem on your server that can be fixed within 30 minutes, I will charge a flat fee of £15.
ConsultancyThis includes any one-off jobs you may wish to enlist my help for. They will usually be started straight away and completed fairly quickly. My fee is £25.00 per hour, in advance. I do not charge if I am unable to complete the work, nor do I charge for any research time or data transfer time.

Helpdesk SupportI have considerable experience with online helpdesks and taking customer calls.

My fee is £200.00 per month.
