FAQ
- Are you willing to work under an NDA? (Non-Disclosure Agreement)
Yes, I have no problems working under an NDA. I recognise that I may access to sensitive information, and that people may feel happier having the additional “protection” of a signed NDA - Do you charge by the hour or by project?
It depends on the assignment – for something with a clear deliverable (setting up a server, for example) then I would usually charge for the project, rather than by the hour. For ongoing work (like monitoring or analysis) I would charge by the hour - How can I let you securely access my MySQL servers?
If your MySQL server is bound to a public IP address, contact me for my IP address to add to your firewall configuration and/or limiting a MySQL user account to a specific host. If your MySQL servers are bound to the loopback address only, I could still access them using an SSH tunnel - What’s your SSH public key?
