Hi, I'm Aran :-)
I'm from Devonport in New Zealand and I work on line as a software developer and GNU/Linux server administrator using only open source software for my work and in my personal life. At the end of 2011 on the 11th of November my wife Beth and I moved to Brazil and bought some land to set up an independent off-grid lifestyle. My main interests are meditation, spirituality and eastern philosophy, agorism, freedom and liberty, programming, open source software and cypto-currencies, electronics, free energy and hacky sack.
Before moving off-grid I spent a lot of time on the Platform network concept which involves a lot of conceptual thought about organisation (such as The Nodal Model, Platform specification and wiki organisation) and development on various MediaWiki extensions and procedures. In 2007 I became one of the official MediaWiki developers so I could maintain some extensions directly in the MediaWiki SVN repository.
For some of my work I started using online freelancing sites, because they have very good project management, payment and escrow systems. Here's some links to my profile in the sites I signed up to:
- Elance (13 jobs - rating 5 out of 5)
- vWorker (4 jobs - rating 10 out of 10)
- Freelancer (2 jobs - rating 10 out of 10)
- oDesk (no jobs done in here yet)
- ScriptLance (no jobs done in here yet)
- My MediaWiki profile
- My Github profile (no activity in here yet)
Also I have a basic Résumé but it's probably quite out of date :-/
