SEEKING WORK | Front-End Angular Developer

Location: Portugal

Remote work: Yes

Portfolio: https://nunoarruda.com/#portfolio

GitHub: https://github.com/nunoarruda

Resume: https://nunoarruda.com/resume.pdf

Email: nuno@nunoarruda.com

Hi, I'm Nuno, a Result-Oriented Front End Angular Developer with a strong technical skill-set, attention to detail, and 16 years of experience. I have a passion for translating beautiful designs into functional user interfaces and building great web applications.

I actively seek out new technologies and stay up-to-date on industry trends and advancements. Continued education has allowed me to stay ahead of the curve and deliver exceptional work to each employer I’ve worked for - both full-time and contract.

I've successfully delivered projects like a CSS UI library used by 17,000 employees, a mobile app that now has 25,000+ users, and an award-winning payroll system. I've done frontend work for Adobe, 21st Century Fox, Bayer, among other companies.

I've been working remotely for the last 5 years for clients worldwide and I can be flexible in order to have overlapping working hours with a distributed team.

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Location: London, with regular travel to California (LA/SF).

Senior Designer (UI, UX, Front-End Development) and Team Lead with over a decade of experience.

---

I build value through design. I don’t just advocate the user, but also the team that has to build, support and scale the product. Learn more about my ethos & values at: https://nad.is/about

I’ve designed and developed for the web (desktop, mobile, responsive), native apps (desktop/mobile), games and VR/AR. View my portfolio at: https://nad.is/building

As a designer; as I’ve matured I’ve spent an increasing amount of time ‘measuring’ before ‘cutting’. Product-market fit is as important to me as pretty pixels.

I consider user research, clarifying technical requirements, benchmarking competitors, sketches, rapid prototyping, writing product specs etc. to be a part of the design process. Depending on the team and product I can also operate as a Product Manager/PM.

As a team lead I’ve hired, managed and mentored, often remotely.

Outside of core product design I also love product marketing; connecting the dots between users and business requirements. Some ways I’ve made that happen include:



* Designing for growth. Designed & implemented a viral mechanic for a pre-seed startup, increasing sign ups by a large factor. Shortly after the startup was accepted into YC.


* Data-driven design. Improving retention by measuring, tweaking and multivariate testing.

* Content marketing. Writing on-voice, on-product, on-market blog posts and newsletters that organically gain traction where they need to.

Have an interesting mobile, web or Unity project? Let's talk.

SEEKING WORK - Based in Cologne, Germany, remote or Europe preferred

I do custom electronics, robotics, and embedded software development - I specialize in quickly turning ideas into prototypes. I've built custom automation equipment for chemistry labs, sensors that are in use in household/utility applications, control circuitry for construction equipment, 3d printing electronics, data acquisition equipment. No project too small. Few projects too large. Deep discounts for open source hardware work.

I've taught courses in electronic assembly (SMD), 3d printing (building/using printers, iterative 3d model design using programming) and robot design and construction.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, travel possible depending on location and duration.

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Data migration, transformation, and processing. Prototype development. Feasibility studies.

In the past I've been a network engineer, run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular project, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I focus particularly on taking on “weird” or niche data or exploratory projects end-to-end; things that wouldn’t be a fit for a standard web or development agency.

Previous work:

* Custom domain specific language (DSL) to encode business rules for computer vision system (Common Lisp)

* University library data migration project, with a focus on completeness and validation. (Clojure, Elixir, Ruby)

* School data processing app (Elixir/Phoenix, PostgreSQL)

* Custom data dashboards (R, Geckoboard)

* High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)

* Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS

* Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)

* Proof-of-concept hardware development for projects linking the physical and virtual worlds in real time (Arduino, Node.js)

Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, AWS, PostgreSQL, Perl, Common Lisp, Clojure, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, Elixir / Phoenix, FreeBSD
