A Frog in the Valley

I am looking for a combined dev/sysadmin for two of my startups. A few hours per week to start, managing and automating an interesting emerging tech stack. Linux + Ruby on Rails (deployed with capistrano) + MySQL for one part of the application, Asterisk + Python for another part. I already have developers working on the projects, but I need someone to help us scale up in the next few months and put in place scripts and tools to manage this installation…

I am not looking for a lot of experience with Asterisk or RoR (it’s still quite infrequent as a choice) but MySQL replication and python skills are a definitive plus and several years of Linux administration of internet servers is a must. If you are interested or know someone who could be, drop me a note. I am ideally looking for someone in Montreal, but I am open to alternatives if you come with good references from at least two clients that I can talk to (with environment similar to what I am looking for)…
