SEEKING WORK - Based in Cologne, Germany, remote or Europe preferred

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 would also be happy to come over (anywhere in Europe) and teach any of the above skills to a small group of interested people. 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.

I've spent the last decade developing custom software solutions to solve business problems. I've worked for billion-dollar enterprises delivering software for consumer electronics. I've led a team of developers to modernize systems to make them more maintainable and quicker to iterate. I've introduced best practices such as source control, continuous integration, code reviews, and testing to improve workflow and reliability.

I can help your company develop custom software specifically designed for your needs. I also provide services to smaller businesses that can't justify a full-time architect where I will come in as needed and help architect a system or diagnose the reliability of existing systems while providing suggestions on how to improve.

SEEKING WORK | Serbia, Europe (CET) | REMOTE ONLY

Working as a remote full-stack freelancer and consultant since 2012 on Ruby and Rails based systems, mostly for US based companies, in all US time zones except Hawaii. BSc and MSc degrees in CS, 4 years of enterprise experience (power and transmission systems) before freelancing, and around 7 more years tinkering with computers and software before that.

Can plan infrastructure requirements and scale, monitor and optimize systems. Can adopt existing rules in a team or build something from scratch.
