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.

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 (PST)

---------------------------

GoStreams (or Lightning)

---------------------------

It's an almost real-time data streaming service for the polygon.io data provider.

It's a project that I started a couple of years ago during the pandemic. I've developed several data-sinks for this service (KDB, QuestDB, Postgres), but it's become more of a Theseus' Ship, development is never ending!

The aim is to build a backtester that will attach to this data service.

https://github.com/tranquilo12/goStreams

The README is outdated, but the gist of the project is that it's trying to be a service that can download all the historical data (for the requested tickers), and will stream the live data to a data-sink, without any issues, and with a good terminal ui.

I'm also thinking of integrating the Charm's libraries with this too, love a good TUI. (https://charm.sh/)

I'm interested in building this out as a project, it will not be made into a company etc. The repo will be fully public.

You can find my email in my profile.

A few things I've worked on: priceonomics.com, remarkbox.com, trucentive.com

I'm looking for freelance projects from short-term to long-term. The technologies listed above represent recent experience that I'd be productive with immediately, but are in no way an exclusive list. If you're using something different, perhaps something hard to hire for, I'm always interested in learning something new.

SEEKING WORK | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Remote/in office

I'm a full stack developer available for flexible arrangements. We'd be a great fit if you are looking for someone to maintain your app and develop new features a handful of hours per week. Able to take lots of responsibility and deliver cost-effectively.

I primarily work with .NET and React, but have experience in many other languages and frameworks and am happy to adapt to what your situation requires.

Send me an email (in profile) if interested so we can setup a call to discuss further.

These days I mostly work in TypeScript/JavaScript. And some occasional Elixir. I was working as Engineering Manager till few years back. Before that I was running a consulting company (https://activesphere.com/). Comfortable picking up technologies. Would love to be involved in exploration projects, visualizations or complex domains where essence of the problem needs to be understood to build software around it. Or else would prefer projects with active users.

I'm a creative hacker with significant experience on the server/devops side. Currently in the process of winding down a fintech/tax startup where I was CTO. Before that, I wrote generative algorithms and smart contracts for this NFT project, which was a great learning experience: https://opensea.io/collection/1989-sisters

A couple fun things I've worked on recently:

* https://lexiplay.com/ | https://riddler.game – word games that use agentic AI systems and meta-prompting to create and moderate their own content. Still needs some work. I used to manage the backend team at Dots and explored puzzle generation there with GANs: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/two-dots-brain-puzzle-games/id...

* real-time audio synthesis, streaming, and manipulation with SuperCollider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEC6-pBFj2Q

I'm currently interested in exploring systems of AI agents that solve interesting problems and create compelling media, but open to all types of product work.
