I need a new job like last month. We are basically bankrupt now, I don’t know how I’m going to feed my family and we can’t make April rent.
I’m physically located in the metro Detroit area, Michigan, USA. I’m looking for anything either local to me or remote, and I have been working remotely for most of the last 10+ years.
I can do whatever work needs done, I have had a long career in web hosting, doing everything from DevOps to Technical Support to IT to Security. Any leads would be great right now, but also here’s my kofi:
