Hi,
I am interested in working with you. I feel that I meet all of your requirements. I have ~ 15 years or more experience with Linux, ~ 8-10 years of experience with PHP and MySQL, and been working ~ 5-6 years with the full LAMP and LEMP stacks (Linux, Apache/Nginx, MySQL, and PHP). I also have experience with HTML/HTML5, CSS/CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery.
I've worked with Git and I am familiar with checking out code but not much experience with checking in code. I do not have experience with Memcached or Sphinx. That doesn't mean I can't learn. I have a passion and desire to learn new technologies and gain new skills. I have an Associate Degree in Computer Science and I am close to getting my Bachelor's in CS with a possible minor in Mathematics. I've been working at least 6 years as an Independent Contractor for a company called Boomdizzle (a social music hip hop website). I help maintain their servers, create static and dynamic web pages, and custom themes based on designs they give me.
My Resume, as well as full skillset and reviews from past clients (all of them positive), can be found on my profile. Please reach out so we can discuss further. I have placed a bid based on a month of work, at ~ $800/week plus the cut freelancer takes. I have broken it down into weekly milestones, each one can be released as I complete work each week as long as everything is satisfactory.
I look forward to working with you. Thank you for taking the time to consider my bid.
