Hi friends, I was laid off from Google last week and I'm looking for new opportunities. I'd like to find a role where I'm directly working with people to address their infrastructure needs.

A few of the types of problems I'd love to work on:

- building internal platforms
- on-prem/hybrid cloud
- cost optimization
- ops/infra tooling

But I'm also open to many other areas of focus. If you're looking for a senior engineer with an ops/infra focus, please get in touch.

@drbrain sort of? that seems to be looking for someone with a lot of data experience which I don't really have. sounds like interesting problems, though.

@bleything yeah, sorry, I wasn’t sure how good a fit it might be. I think the core of this role would be analyzing our traffic and CPU usage to figure out where and how big to build new POPs

@drbrain yeah that sounds like a super interesting job and something that would be fun to support but I just don't have the background for it. thanks for thinking of me though :)
