=============================================================
Howdy, I'm Summer! I've been doing software development for nearly 13 years, and would love to help your team out with any React or React Native project! It's my wheelhouse.
* I write code like the big companies - and I enforce unit tests, CI/CD, and clean code. I can do all the setup, too!
* I have no problem coming up with deadlines and communicating with the business. As a fundamental rule, I am always transparent and honest about my work. Need me to break down tasks, assign them out, and play project manager? I can do that, too!
* I love mentoring and helping others. Any developers under my wing will learn everything I know. I've worked at IBM, multiple staffing firms, and other small shops so I've seen it all! I am a very kind and bubbly person, so any developer will always feel safe to ask me questions and learn.
* I'm a US Citizen living in Dallas, Texas, and I add diversity to your team, as a woman!
=========================================================I’m a highly driven, generally easy-going devops and software engineer, with an eye for detail and over a decade of hands on, in depth experience designing, implementing, and maintaining:
I’ve worked for many different types of organizations, in many industries, with people from widely different backgrounds, with a track-record for success. I enjoy solving problems and empowering people. While I specialize in technical solutions, I am acutely aware that not all problems are technical. I help optimize business/people processes as well; from streamlining processes, to tearing down silos, to redefining demarcation points.I can help future proof your startup or modernize your enterprise.

I help startups with the UX/UI and web design of their products. This includes websites, landing pages, screenshots and copywriting, and I can assist with frontend development where needed. My background as a startup founder and full stack developer helps me create practical design solutions that balance usability, aesthetics, development effort and performance. I work to fixed price quotes when projects are self-contained.

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://www.checkbot.io/), a browser extension that tests websites for SEO, speed and performance problems. The entire project is my own work including coding the extension itself, UX/UI design, website design (the homepage is optimised to load in 0.7 seconds, 0.3MB data transferred), website copy, and website articles on web best practices.

I'm a serial founder who's built and sold multiple companies. I want to help a new startup build their MVP, or convert a low-code prototype to code.
I have a decade of development experience ranging from new startups to publicly-traded corporations, and I've held leadership roles in engineering + product at major startups. But, my passion is building things - and I can use my background in software and product to build scrappy, polished applications quickly for companies.
I can handle end-to-end web app product development from scratch, including product definition, backend + frontend development, and basic design. I can also offer CTO-as-a-service for existing teams that need help growing or scaling.
When I pick a tech stack it's typically Rails + Hotwire + Tailwind, but I've worked in a variety of web stacks ranging including Vue, Go, Laravel, and Kubernetes. I'm an advanced user of Stripe, including their Connect product for marketplaces.
Here's a couple of projects I've built solo this year:
- https://postcard.page
- https://booklet.community
Can do hourly or weekly billing, and I'm open to flat-rate pricing for well-scoped projects.

Hi, my name is Till.
I always like to help people, so if you need help with anything, let me know! :)
I'm mostly offering short-term consulting. Usually, I work remotely, but I'm open to traveling to visit you short term. I can help get things running, especially when you're a young startup or launching a new project.
For example, maybe you have written a web app and need it deployed to the cloud. Or maybe you want to scale your product to meet the demand. Or maybe you want to launch your app in a new market, requiring a translation system and a new cloud deployment strategy. I can help make these things possible!
Buzzwords: C#, F#, .Net, C++, Typescript, Rust, Elm, C/C++, AWS (Cloudformation, CDK, S3, CloudFront, ECS, Lambda, RDS...), Rust, and terraform
I've also worked with hiring and product planning. You can also reach out if you just want feedback on your app or code.

I'm redirecting my career path from industrial maintenance management to software development.
I've done, among other things, over 10 years of code maintenance and functions extensions in a live industrial production environments.
My current preferred tool set: Python, PostgreSQL, Django, Git, Docker, Linux. Now I prefer boring tools which allow me to concentrate on the problem at hand.
I'm open to other tools as needed.
My most recent project is Polish law change monitoring service available at https://unkot.pl. Access to the source code hosted on gitlab.com available on request.
In the past I've used Go (golang), Gython, neural networks with feedback loops running on CPUs, genetic programming.
