Contacting me

Read this before posting a comment on this page: I regret to inform you that posts to this page won’t be answered. If you were intending to tell me something about one of my software projects, please hit the Back button on your browser and post a comment on the project page. Alternatively, send me a direct e-mail.

I am a fairly reachable person. All you need to know in order to contact me is right here.

Business inquiries

I’m fully available for contract work at the moment, whether it’s software development or open-source consulting. I’m an expert in these areas, with 10 years of hard-won experience (learning by doing, not by mail or books).

My strong suit is systems management and software engineering (with emphasis on deployment and development), especially adapting and deploying open-source solutions for large organizations. I can also help an organization choose and deploy the right software toolset for any need, and provide support afterwards. I telecommute using secure communication technologies.

If you feel I can help your organization, just contact me and we’ll discuss requirements, budget and schedule for your project. Several organizations have committed to my expertise in past occasions. My e-mail address for business inquiries is rudd-o@rudd-o.com (GPG key).

I regularly reply in short notice, and e-mails directed to any of those addresses get forwarded to my mobile phone.

Personal matters, open source projects and general feedback

For personal matters, you can contact me at rudd-o@rudd-o.com (GPG key).

In regard to my free software projects, I advise you to either email the project’s mailing list (project pages listed in the sidebar) or directly mail me. I will not be checking this page for comments.
