Any Freelancers out there available to help with a D8 to D9 upgrade?

Edit the edit and scratch the scratch. I have to do the upgrade after all and will indeed need help. So sorry to spam the list.
Edit: Scratch that... for the moment. I've been asked to tread water for a while because of some big changes coming down the line that are above my pay grade. Apologies.
