I am building an overview of how to go from "Zero to Web App" via all the popular frameworks out there. Django, Flask, Laravel, Symfony ...
Each framework will be represented as a shell script which turns a fresh Docker image with Debian into a working web app with routing, templates and user accounts.
It is an open source project, but I am happy to pay for the scripts to be written.
If you want to write one of the scripts, hit me up!
I already did the Django one:
https://github.com/no-gravity/web_app_from_scratch
(It has routing and templates. Still needs the user account part)
Best way? Hmm... Twitter!
But email is fine as well!

I recently went from my full time programming job - doing mostly business and scientific software - to a freelance setup. I'm up for:
My current hobby projects are rolz.org (an online tabletop/pen&paper roleplaying site) and I'm also currently working on a C++ based web programming server with the goal of ditching both PHP and Node.js as my go-to server-side solution.Contact me at: udo@udven.com
I do resume work, usually for tech professionals, and other freelance writing.

I'm a principal-level individual contributor with 14 years of full-stack experience in a wide variety of technologies, languages, and problem spaces.
I've led and developed teams of up to twelve engineers, have years of experience in a technical product ownership role, and have been fully responsible for the architecture, initial implementation, and ongoing production management and maintenance for systems currently used by millions in the health care space.
These include no-code web builders for forms and whole applications that have saved thousands of developer-hours and millions of dollars, HIPAA-compliant, versioned and fully-auditable data stores, configurable streaming data infrastructure system, and a workflow engine that is responsible for the coordination of a live production application that serves millions.
I view myself as a strong individual contributor who acts as both a force-multiplier for the team and a critical communications hub by being able to understand and translate the needs of a variety of stake-holders due to my truly full-stack business experience.
On the open-source side of things, I regularly contribute to several projects, helping and communicating with other developers. Take a look at the available coding portfolio in my GitHub profile at https://github.com/c410-f3r where most public collaborations in the last five years were more focused on the Rust Programming Language ecosystem.
Over 40 certified courses have been completed and nine professional certifications that covers a wide range of areas were obtained from different organizations, e.g., Linux Foundation and the Blockchain Training Alliance. Learning is very important to keep up with both old and new technologies, my newest certification is the Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect and more certifications will be earned over time.
In my last work experience I refactored, architected and developed many key parts of a Parachain always aiming for security, readability, robustness and maintainability, which contributed to two successful marketing campaigns. In addition to all this and to finish, I also created and deployed a brand new Relay Chain like Kusama or Polkadot for custom usage and testing.
I'm making 2022 the year I step back from generic B2B copywriting and commit to open source.
Open-source company/project with no branding or marketing experience & direction? Struggling to talk to your varied & audiences (free users, contributors, paid users) because of your open-core business model?
I can help by:
1. Designing a developer-first branding & marketing framework
2. Clarifying your open-source strategy to build trust through transparency
3. Writing new copy for your website, GitHub READMEs, email, and everything in-between to clarify who you are, what you're building, and who it's for
Lately, I've also been bridging into documentation and developer marketing for my favorite clients—I've managed 400+ page Docusaurus/MDX docs sites and done tons of technical IT/DevOps content in the past—because it's in such high demand right now.

Tribe.AI is always looking for top ml/data science practitioners to join the collective--we're a group of 150+ folks from Uber ATG, Cruise, Google Brain, etc. that come together to work on interesting projects (usually growth stage startups and some enterprises) but more than that, it's a supportive community that all supports one another. There are pretty regular events (fingers crossed that there will be some more in person this year) and some folks have even started companies together!
