Cover Letter

Hi — this role is exactly what I do. I'm an OpenClaw contributor and have deployed it across multiple environments for both personal and client use. Happy to answer your four questions directly:

  1. Linux/macOS sysadmin + Node.js experience: I run production OpenClaw instances on both macOS (Mac Mini M-series) and Linux servers daily. Deep experience with Node.js — it's my primary runtime for everything from API servers to automation pipelines. Comfortable with launchd, systemd, process management, SSH hardening, firewall configuration, and all the sysadmin fundamentals.

  2. OpenClaw experience: Yes — I'm an active OpenClaw contributor and power user. I've built and deployed 30+ MCP server integrations (Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, CRM systems, and more). I know the OpenClaw codebase, the skill system, the channel plugin architecture, and the security hardening guide inside and out. This isn't theoretical knowledge — I work with it every single day.

  3. Availability and rate: $50/hr, available to start immediately. I'm US-based (Eastern time), responsive, and can turn around deployments quickly. For your test deployment on the Mac Mini, I could have a fully documented setup done within a few days.

  4. Similar deployment example: Most recently, I deployed a full OpenClaw instance on a Mac Mini with:

  • Gmail + Google Calendar integration (OAuth, real-time email monitoring via Pub/Sub)
  • WhatsApp, Telegram, and Slack channel plugins
  • Custom MCP integrations for CRM data (GoHighLevel), property lookups, and automated workflows
  • Security hardening: credential management via 1Password CLI, environment isolation, access controls
  • Full documentation of every step for the client

The deployment included ongoing maintenance — troubleshooting, adding new skills, and scaling integrations as the client's needs grew.

I'd love to knock out your test deployment and show you what a clean, well-documented OpenClaw setup looks like. Portfolio with more details: https://portfolio.mcpengage.com
