John Kennedy's job hunting status

I am actively looking for a new job

My preference is for permanent or contract to hire but will also consider contract roles if the job/rate are right. For contract I am looking strictly at W2 as I am not set up for C2C.

I prefer a role that will expand on my Terraform/Puppet/Salt/Ansible, Docker, and Cloud (AWS) skills.

Location: I am looking for remote work as I travel outside the US frequently. I am happy working to Eastern Time Zone hours (although I do occasionally travel to the UK and would prefer to work UK business hours while there - this would be for 2-3 weeks 1-2 times a year).

Compensation: I am flexible depending on the benefits and other things (money is not the motivating factor for me beyond paying my bills).

I currently hold the AWS Solutions Architect (expired 13 August 2023) and Terraform Associate (expired 09 July 2023) Certifications (click on badges for verification):

I am NOT looking for Federal Government positions. I travel outside the country often for extended periods. Since Fed jobs do not allow access to government resources outside the US, this will not work for me. Because of this, I definitely prefer a job that is 100% remote. I have a good track record working remotely and enjoy doing so. If I cannot find a pure remote position, I do need the flexibility of being able to work from home 2 to 3 times a week along with my trips out of the country.
