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 | Remote Only (located in Atlantic Timezone, ET+1)

Full stack Rails developer with tons of product management experience.

My sweet spot is helping founders with deep domain experience who are funded and need to build a v1. B2B SaaS is my specialty.

I've worked with the CEOs of Predictable Revenue and Headphones.com, and brands like ESPN. A recent success includes working with a client CEO to take his idea from napkin to $130M in revenue.

Been building and shipping software professionally for 18 years, on Rails for 11, and consulting remotely for 10+. My clients like my approach because it's pragmatic, thoughtful, and focused on business growth: I've run three B2B SaaS businesses (and sold two of them). I see technology as a leveraged tool for growing a business, not an end in itself.

Looking for projects that are ready to start soon. Ideal project is B2B SaaS with a budget of US$20k+.

-------------------------------

- Product Management (customer interviews, product strategy, prioritization, speccing, working with dev to ship, reporting on success)

- Ruby on Rails

- Javascript, jQuery

- HTML/CSS, SASS

- MySQL, Postgres

- Web APIs (in particular I've worked with GitHub, Stripe, Slack, and Intercom in depth)
