SEEKING WORK | Waterloo, ON Canada (UTC-5) | REMOTE ONLY

  Fullstack Developer, 7+ years experience
  Backend: Elixir, Rust
  Frontend: React, ReasonML, Elm
  Mobile: React Native
  DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, Dokku
  Email: me@praveenperera.com
  Availability: 20-25 hrs / week
I've been using Elixir and Phoenix since August 2015. Before that I was mostly doing Ruby/Rails work.

In the frontend I’ve mostly worked with React. I’ve also done a few web projects using Elm and ReasonML. As well mobile apps using React Native.

Recently I’ve also been learning Rust. So far I’ve loved it and I wrote a little CLI to sort Tailwind CSS classes, a NIF for parsing RSS feeds, and a VSCode extension for minifying inline SVGs:

I've worked with all types of clients including local small businesses, start ups and large enterprises.

A couple months ago I created a mini video course on how to get started using Kubernetes on DigitalOcean DOKS: (video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiSUpKDgWfQ&list=PLcdHMZkfm5) (text: https://avencera.com/learn/)

SEEKING WORK | Europe (UTC+1) | REMOTE ONLY (happy to travel)

I'm a software developer with over a decade of professional experience — the overwhelming majority of that time working with Ruby / Ruby on Rails. I've shipped significant amounts of code in C# (ESRI ArcMap & ArcPro), Java, Go, Python, JS. I prefer dealing with the backend but can work throughout the stack. Over the years, I've had the chance to work in several different industries (government, education, energy, real estate), both with small startups as well as large established enterprises. My code makes thousands of professionals worldwide more productive in their day to day work.

SEEKING FREELANCER | Bangalore only | REMOTE

Rust Developer, with 0-5 years of total experience (including at least 1 year of Rust - college projects are fine).

We're a startup working on a Decentralized Messenger - focused on privacy and putting users in control of their own data. We are looking to get a freelancer to help us with our alpha, and then based on traction and funding transition to a full time role (if willing).

Our tech stack is Cordova, React, TypeScript, Sqlite and Rust for the front-end; and Node.JS for a very minimal backend.

We're looking for Bangalore based folks, since we would like to meet once a week for brainstorming. Other than that it's all remote.

SEEKING WORK - Remote

I help non-technical founders build and launch technical startups, going from idea to published MVP within 4 weeks, for less than $10K.

Imagine, one month from now you could already be building your user base. Guaranteed. If we can't identify an MVP we can build and launch within four weeks, we'll refund our fees.

Over the last ten years, I've helped validate, design, and develop over 25 products across app stores and the web. In that time, I've worked with Fortune 500s as a consultant at Google, with venture-backed startups as a partner at Gradient, and with founders of all types as owner and project lead at SANE Digital.
