Hi, I'm François, a full-stack TypeScript developer with 10 years of experience. I've built web apps for startups and public institutions as a freelancer, now looking for new clients and opportunities.

I favour efficiency over complexity, and I'm a strong advocate for free & open-source software (I maintain several NPM packages on GitHub). I also believe that remote work is mutually beneficial, having worked remotely with international teams for the past 6 years.

I'd rather avoid sectors like crypto and finance (though I've shipped a few cryptographic products unrelated to finance), and would prefer to work on products that have a net-zero carbon impact.

I help startups with the UX/UI and web design of their products. This includes web apps, websites, landing pages, screenshots and copywriting, and I can assist with frontend development where needed. My background as a tech 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.

SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote

Needed: Software engineers to research LLM topics.

I’d like to find a couple freelance engineers to help out with some LLM research questions. Mostly they're questions of personal curiosity. Things like approximating the historical inference speed for a fixed model size, historically, and identifying what model improvements would be needed for GPT to be a useful 'junior dev' agent, or a useful MacOS desktop copilot. Email is in profile.

SEEKING WORK | REMOTE WORLDWIDE | Based in the EU and available worldwide

I specialise in designing and implementing logging & monitoring solutions for complex, mission-critical applications on diverse infrastructures. My experience comes from decades of work in SE, SRE, DevOps, Cloud Architect, Enterprise Architect and senior development roles. I have an innate understanding of complex systems and a deep knowledge of dozens of tools and services.

I can help on virtually any logging & monitoring issue you have, whether on a legacy in-house platform or for a greenfield multi-cloud, multi-region application. I know how to use most ITOA tools, and when they don't do the trick, I write bespoke tooling for specialised situations. I create single-pane-of-dashboards that deliver timely information and empower operational staff.

Above all, the goal I try to achieve in any engagement is to deliver a solution that finds problems before they lead to full-blown outages.

SEEKING WORK | LOCATION: EU (BUT WORKING EASTERN TIME HOURS) | REMOTE ONLY

I'm a fractional CTO, product designer and engineer with ~ 16 years of experience. I help tech entrepreneurs and tech companies achieve their product and engineering goals. Depending on the stage:

1. Pre-product - I can help you turn an idea into a reality by trimming the scope to the essential and then designing, developing, and deploying a product.

2. Early traction - if your product is gaining traction then I can help you focus on the business by taking care of engineering: setting up infrastructure, processes, development practices, and leading product and engineering efforts.

3. Mature product - I can help you lead and contribute to complex technical initiatives behind mature products: legacy technologies and code bases, poor code quality and understandability, overstretched architecture.

Tech Stack: Ruby, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Elixir (backend); vanilla HTML, CSS, JavaScript, DOM API, React, Stimulus, TypeScript (frontend); React Native, Swift, UIKit (mobile); Heroku, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, Terraform, Ansible (infrastructure)

I assume you have this spiel saved, rather than typing it out on the fly, so just to let you know you have a typo "React Nataive".

I should really do some proof reading work. These things just jump out to me.

Hello I am looking for 10-20 hours a week of unpaid work on a remote basis. I am currently a self-taught developer who would love a chance to see how I can contribute to a team.

I'm quite confident that my technical skills would be sufficient to tackle some tasks, but I would get a lot of value from code review/feedback.

I've spent a lot of time studying the modern Javascript/Typescript stack and I'm comfortable working with git and similar technologies. Happy to work on a variety of projects from open source to more commercial software.

Happy to chat with any one, or try my hand at whatever tasks you have. I could well surprise you with what I can do! And if it doesn't work out, then we can move on.

Can you share your work samples or Github profile?
