I use the GPG key with the fingerprint 982A 193E 3CE0 EED5 35E0 9023 188C BB26 4841 6AD5 and without spacing 982A193E3CE0EED535E09023188CBB2648416AD5. The public key can be found here and on the ususal key servers. There is also a key transition notice (February 2021) for a key I previously used. I’m currently only avaliable for short-term Bitcoin freelance and consulting projects. My main focus lies on open-source projects.
