From 2005 until 2015 I ran my own development company. Since 2015 I’ve been using that experience to help companies and development teams take ‘the next step’. The next step in delivering higher quality products, the next step in gaining higher developer velocity and the next step in being a more predictable in planning and outcome.

I strongly believe the following factors help in taking this next step: 1. Never compromise in code quality. 2. Standardize as much as possible (to prevent reinventing the wheel and focus on adding value) 3. Automate everything 4. Create a safe to fail environment.

SEEKING WORK | Cambridge/London UK or Remote

I'm a software engineer with 16 years of programming experience. I've helped startups get started and big companies keep going.

If you have web projects, then there's a good chance I've worked on something similar before and will be able to hit the ground running. If you need more general programming, I can do it. If you're doing something a bit esoteric, that would definitely suit me – I've done FPGAs, network protocols, speech recognition, more ETL than you can shake a stick at, and devising novel algorithms.

I consider myself a polyglot programmer and haven't found a language I can't be productive in yet. In the last 5 years I've written (at least) C#, Java, Python, Javascript (browser and Node.js), and Ruby professionally. In my last project, I quickly picked up Typescript, and soon helped the rest of the team understand it better.

I'm friendly and easy-going, enjoy mentoring and working with other developers. I just helped a client do a major rewrite (Angular 1 to React) in a two month timescale, which finished on time and budget.

I'm happiest on fixed-term projects that I can complete on a schedule that suits both of us, and my clients have been very happy with this process too.

SEEKING WORK - Remote UI/UX designer and developer from Iceland looking to work on great projects where I can be a powerful asset in scaling a business.

Portfolio at: https://gilli.is

Over eight years of experience of working in Fin-tech, Journalism, TV and Media, Health, Science, and more.

I can provide the following for you:

- Design — Whether you need a design from scratch, a redesign, or you're having issues with a small part of you product, I can design it.

- Front-end Development — I can build the design into a pixel perfect product, this is rare among us designers and has proven to be extremely powerful for the end result since there is less wasted effort.

- Analysis — Your users know everything that's wrong with your product but have difficulty communicating it. Often it comes out in anger and frustration. That's where my usability and experience analysis comes in. I'll review your app from an outsider and expert point of view, and give you actionable feedback.

- Free advice — You might not be sure if I am the right fit and I very well might not be. I can help you figure out the best direction to go, for free.

I take my work very serious and put a lot of work into good communication, good planning, and, last but not least, properly understanding your product so that we can produce great results.

SEEKING WORK | Boise, ID area or remote

Hello! I've been a professional web developer since 2007. I'm currently freelancing and looking for more work.

I've also done a good deal of system administration and have tinkered with iOS development. I'm ready to get started on a new project right now, my rates are very affordable, and I love to make clients happy. Get in touch!

Find out more about me and some of the things I've worked on at my web site: https://albright.pro/

SEEKING WORK | Remote (based in NYC) | Full Stack Engineer

I'm a software engineer with a few years of experience (comprised of starting at SpaceX working on the combustion simulation team before moving to NYC to work at Knewton, a crypto startup, and now a food-tech startup) looking for some interesting projects to take on in a part-time basis (roughly 20 hours/wk).

I've used this model of working in my spare time (mornings, evenings, weekends) several times now to help launch products or MVPs for companies ranging from the healthcare industry to adult entertainment. More than happy to show examples over email!

My main areas of focus have been predominantly frontend since moving to NYC, working with React (and React Native!), Typescript, the Apollo stack for GraphQL, and related tools. I've also written a ton of Java and Python.

If you have a project that is silo-able, an MVP, or just something that doesn't warrant hiring another full-time engineer for, I'd love to chat with you (or grab coffee if you're in the NYC area).
