I'm open to fully remote freelance/consulting, contract, and part-time gigs

My books are open! I help nonprofits, archives, museums, libraries, and creatives manage their IT systems, databases, websites, and media (working files, animations, A/V, infographics, fonts, licenses, comics). I'm looking for freelance/consulting work, but I'm also open to contract and part-time gigs.
