Summary
Rob Sutherland is a versatile freelance coder, writer, and sysadmin with 11+ years delivering backend systems, emergency client support, and infrastructure for governments, enterprises, and small businesses. He combines deep legacy mainframe and COBOL/DB2 experience with modern Linux/PHP/Python web stacks, CMS work (notably Drupal), Talend-based data integration, and hands-on hosting operations. Rob has a track record of building bespoke solutions—such as his Rob’s Open Business System prototype—that integrate disparate systems and automate business processes. Comfortable in both command-line recovery scenarios and long-term development projects, he frequently bridges gap between system administration, technical writing, and application development. Based in Old Toronto, he brings unusually broad cross-platform expertise (AS/400, MVS/AIX, Unisys, Windows Server, and modern cloud/virtual environments) that lets him resolve the rare edge cases others avoid.
