I'm a freelance developer with 7 years of experience. I specialize in helping early stage companies bring their ideas to life as new apps and websites. Beyond creating a beautiful app with you, I'll make sure we're measuring the right things so you can get the best outcomes. I build apps to allow quick iteration and short feedback loops. My experience at startups has taught me how to pick the right features to build and validate quickly, which saves you money and time. I can help you integrate marketing, analytics, and sales to get the most out of your creation. One of the first companies I worked with, SwoopSrch, I helped take their rough idea of what they wanted to an MVP in a weekend. Then I spent a year helping them iterate on the idea. I spent a few years at Rackspace building massively scalable cloud infrastructure and making open source contributions to OpenStack. Then, I started as the first engineer at a startup, Triggr Health, building apps to help people in addiction recovery and help with mental health issues. One of my freelance clients was the University of Maryland, who I helped migrate some Flash apps to React and handle some challenging performance issues. Another recent client is HealthJay, who I helped to build an app to track seniors and detect falls. I built an Apple Watch app for them, as well as a React Native app (which also detects falls), a React back office app, and a Node backend. I've got experience with:
- React Native
- React
- NodeJS
- Javascript and Typescript
- iOS/Android native development
- Python
- Django
- OpenStack, AWS, Ansible, DevOps

My partner and I have extensive experience in architecting, building, and managing large custom-made web applications.
Recent projects: https://codetree.co/case-studies
I (Ivor) specialize in front-end, but also do back-end(node) and UX design (JS/TypeScript/Babel, React, Webpack, GraphQL, ESLint, CSS etc.).
My partner (Vedran) specializes in back-end, DevOps, system administration (Ruby on Rails, Java, PostgreSQL, Elastic, Docker, AWS, etc.), and also does light front-end work.
Throughout the last decade we worked with US/EU based clients to help them build Airbnb-like platforms, music streaming apps, healthcare/finance/construction apps, real-time GPS vehicle tracking suites, core systems of big data platforms (millions of daily transactions) and more.
We mostly collaborate with tech companies, but also have a lot of positive experiences assuming CTO-for-hire roles to work with non-technical founders.
Both of us are immediately available for full/part time contracts. The rate is approximately $90/hour depending on engagement details.

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. I've taught courses at several universities, hackspaces, and conferences.

We are a development shop that focuses on software craftsmanship. Our calling is to help companies create amazing, intuitive web & mobile applications, APIs, products, and services.
Pair programming, continuous integration & delivery, kaizen, and TDD/BDD aren't just ideas we pay lip service to, but core practices of our day-to-day work.
We love polyglots. We use lots of Ruby, Python, Elixir, and JavaScript (mostly React and React-Native).
As PromptWorks grows, so does demand on our engineering team. We often find ourselves fielding development inquiries from excellent clients working outside our preferred stacks and expertise or we occasionally don’t have enough staff to fill out a team with employees. In those cases, we like to work with seasoned, versatile contractors that are excited to dive in. We are seeking experienced freelance engineers to mutually expand our business.
Skills we are currently looking for:

We also own, develop and operate our own suite of enterprise SaaS products.
Looking for a freelance business analyst / product person who can draft requirements and improve our process around preparing e-commerce data mapping and be a tech translator between our clients, PMs and engineering team.
Also we have a possible opening for software engineers who are familiar with e-commerce systems data migrations and integrations. Bonus points for folks with some Microsoft experience (we're mostly a Linux shop) in MS SQL Server and Windows desktop software.
