Résumé/CV: jonpurdy.com/resume.pdf Email: hn-202001@jonpurdy.com (will respond from my real one)
I'm primarily a Technical Project Manager looking to help teams build software more efficiently.
In previous infrastructure roles I've spearheaded numerous projects, brought service endpoint uptime from ~95% to 100%, took over and grew a team, and improved team performance by implementing Infrascrum methodology. Since 2018, I've implemented Scrum and Kanban, coached junior development teams, and successfully completed and released multiple software projects, both internal and for clients. I also acted as a product manager for many of the internal products we created, developing product mission and vision statements, roadmaps, gathered user feedback, and built user-facing documentation and product websites.
As mentioned in "Who wants to be hired", I'm available on a contract or full-time basis. I have been independent since September, but wouldn't want to turn down any interesting full-time work, hence why I'm open to both.
I’m best able to fill the following roles: scrum master, product owner, technical product manager, Agile coach, or project manager, or some sort of combination of them.
Thanks and please email me if you have any questions or just want to chat.
I can deliver end-user documentation, beginner tutorials, transactional-content, social media marketing/strategy and video production/editing.
Samples available upon request.

We have extensive experience in building applications from design, through implementation and ongoing management.

Because we have worked together as a team for so long we are extremely efficient - we pride ourselves on that along with being predictable and responsive. We can plug into an existing team to fill holes (design, tech) or can work as a design/developer team to get built what you need from soup to nuts. Experience in building healthcare applications, retail applications, financial apps, custom CMS, phone apps, real estate, high throughput message delivery. You name it we've probably built something like it at some point in our careers :)

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 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
- iOS/Android native development
- NodeJS
- Javascript and Typescript
- Python
- Django
- OpenStack, AWS, Ansible, DevOps

I am acting as intermediary for a local education company here, that is not in tech and mostly tech illiterate. Lots of small to medium missions. You will deal with me, but mostly looking people who are able to work from a basic set of requirements (it needs to do this, have to have this and that, cannot have this and that, respect this theme color) rather than hand holding every step.
For now I'm looking for:
- frontend developper oriented mobile and tablet: capable to take a not so pretty but decently made desktop site of 6-10 pages at the most and make it usable on mobile, mostly with alternative css and with as little html change as necessary. Need to solve: leads source moved from 90% desktop to barely above 50%, site horrible to use on mobile.
HTML / CSS / JS
- website ux designer for a single purpose web app: make the mockups, get them validated, make the final design, get them validated. Optionally make the final html, but original plan is to use a frontend dev to turn the design into code. Need to solve: quizz and exams online.
