I am very happily employed working with organizations in Content/Document Management Systems. Currently using and working and programing in Alfresco community. It is a fun job, a great open source, and a rapidly maturing start-up. My customers are happy and is what makes me feel good.
It is unlikely that you will have an opportunity that is more appealing to me than where I am now. It would need to allow be a small and growing company, working on code under an open source and commercial licenses, be able to stay in Alaska and Washington, most of the time work from home, travel less than 1 week a month, work with a global team, and involve a mix of development, analysis, and management. I enjoy being in a decision making role and mentoring teammates. Python would be a big plus.
I am currently busy to take contract work, but if it is interesting contract than I would be very happy to take it.
If you feel like reaching out, I promise to be polite. And if I have a minute I will even try and think of someone else that can meet your need.
Thank you for your interest.

Over million of dollars saved from my auditing and running a project/s in the offices. In addition to producing a detailed view of the current state of reporting, the team's experts also provided recommendations for improvement. Key technologies I employed on this project included:
