About and CV

Lance Keay, senior full-stack developer and DevOps engineer

I build web apps and the pipelines, containers and servers they run on, on contract, for teams that want the work done and written down. Outside client work I run a homelab and review the AI tools and self-hosted software I test on it.

Working with me

I work remotely or on site, by the day or for a fixed piece of work. Every engagement ends with the code, the infrastructure and a written handover in your repository, so nothing depends on me staying.

Send the stack, the problem and the dates. If it is not work I do well, I will say so in the first reply.
