This one's tough actually
It has always been hard for me to do a comprehensive and just description of myself, that wouldn't be too general to random audience, so there is no reason to assume this one will be an exception. Unless! I'm exactly the person you were looking for all this time.
Let's say I was always this weird kiddo who started learning C++ at age of 10 because he found it fascinating (and not as hard to acquire as an actual friend!) then begun exploring what computers are made of and how they work in many aspects, including learning assemblers, processor opcodes, how bioses are written and all the exciting stuff around that. (At which stage getting real humans to talk to had become basically impossible)
Fast forward 25 years
And I'm an aficionado of automation and test-automating stuff, have deep interest in deep learning, mostly NLP area of it using low-level models as well as leveraging frameworks like Rasa to program chatbots, have worked with and in more computer languages I can probably remember, and have solved around one million different problems in hundreds of projects.
There are a dozen of opensource tools I built for my own purpose. None of which became a true supastar, but some I can tell are being used by actual real people beside me, or so at least I hope!
With the experience at hand
The way I see software and computer science in general is probably different to most people's view. First and foremost I'm stripped off religious-like bindings towards specific techs or languages. I can appreciate good solution written in Python, PHP, JS, C or Haskell as long as it solves something without actually adding new problems. The simpler the better.
My current main occupation revolves around DevOps, SecOps and Quality Assurance. Three disciplines that I find are absolutely key points to any project and can turn sides of workflow to be either helpful and enjoyable or painful and soaring. Being a curious animal I'm sometimes putting my NLP/ML hat on to merge all my disciplines under an umbrella of data analysis and visualization to provide higher level understanding of high volume data in tools like Elasticsearch and Kibana.
The way I can help you best
Is by either merging different techs into one project or by automating processes that are killing your team's productivity. I'm a programmer myself so I can talk to all ends of the pipeline with perfect understanding and empathy of what one's need.
Let's solve!

SelectThat's an exclusive and uninterrupted 1 hour of my time to focus on whatever problem/question/answer, in the wide spectrum of my expertise and experience I might be able to help you with.
Lets join via zoom, slack or other medium most applicable to problem at hand, and crack it to it's core!
If our efforts lead to creating anything applicable to general audience in the end, I will encourage you to release the solution as a public project on an OS platform.

SelectHandhold aka become a rubber-duck to another programmer for one day.
If you feel like having a senior programmer's supervision over what you or your team's member is doing will help him (spoiler alert - it will) become a better programmer/problem solver/architect, just add me and I will happily join you for a full day of work every month and combine it with online coaching and improving one's understanding of how to solve problems in computer space easier.
This by assumption is one-to-one session, but we can discuss other forms of participation if need be. Just let me know.
