Exo-CTO
If your job is to manage the tech stack for your organization, and you've got at least two other directives that demand your focus:
This is for you.
I "project manage" your tech stack, providing consistent maintenance, development and collaborative guidance.
You are able to offload this work to somone who is intelligent, communicative and supportive, gaining peace of mind, while freeing more of your time.
Rates are $125 for businesses and $75 for non-profits, per hour.
For those interested, two additional projects I'm happy to help with as well.
Hours are flexible and roll-over on all levels; meaning, while paid on retainer, if hours are not fully used in one month, they will roll-over into the next month, compounding your hours.
If enough hours have accrued, a larger project can be accomplished with those hours.
Additionally, you are not paying for the hours of thought, you are paying for hours of action.
Why work with me
I'm competent, communicative and charismatic; I'm honest, and direct.
I have no reason to be any other way.
If any of this resonates with you schedule a curiosity call, and let's see how the vibes fit: https://calendly.com/dreamfreely/curiosity-call
Skill Set
I bring together business, cultural and technical expertise, intrinsically becoming an asset to your work and organization, while teaching you how to do so as well.
I build web applications using Python (Django), JavaScript (VueJS) and Linux (Arch/Ubuntu) primarily; DigiSnaxx being my flag-ship personal project.
As well, I help maintain a bespoke WordPress implementation for a small non-profit; I've worked professionally on Drupal and Ruby On Rails projects as well for world-renown scientific institutions.
Strategy is poetree and composition to me; my academic studies brought together Economics, Statistics and Communications – the major/minor of my degree from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities – along with Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology, with a solid side of Eastern Philosophy.
I started as a Creative Writing major; and took over 20 years to graduate.
Oh yea, I'm 42 years old, so not exactly a youngin' either; I've seen a few things.
- https://edshareproject.org/ - built and re-designed using Drupal.
- https://documents.ipums.org/ - I brought from concept to product using Ruby on Rails (a formal paper was written about the work and process).
- https://unicornriot.ninja/ - currently helping to maintain and develop their WordPress installation.

Schedule a Curiousity Call if you're at all interested!
Go Ghost
For those want to leave the Substack ecosystem, and would like to move to Ghost; I help you with this transition.
There are options, though I'm able to provide transition support from repopulating archives, uploading contacts, and web-site design.
This Ghost implementation is customized from the basic Dawn theme from Ghost; a few modifications to make the site distinct for what I'm seeking to do.
I can help you do the same; build your own customized site / newsletter; and if you want to self-host, we can help with this as well.
