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.

I keep a personal blog, and my articles often appears on HN. I commission custom cartoons for my blog posts.[0]
The blog’s previous cartoonist worked with me for six years. She recently changed careers, so I’m looking for someone who can take over as the blog’s official cartoonist.
I'll pay your hourly rate, but I'm aiming to pay about $75 per illustration on average.

16 years of experience developing quantitative systems in cross-platform modern C++. I utilize the latest C++ standards and enjoy adapting legacy code to use modern best practices. I use Python for prototyping, algorithm exploration, utility development, and as a scripting language on top of C++.

The most important goals I strive for when writing code are: correctness, performance, and maintainability. I favor simple solutions and avoid complexity unless it provides value.
Most of my experience is on computer vision teams, but I am looking to expand into other domains where high performance is needed.
Algorithms include: Structure from Motion, image/video processing, 2D and 3D facial recognition, image stitching, object detection and tracking, Monte Carlo simulation, nonlinear optimization, integer programming.

https://andersource.dev/ | daniel@andersource.dev
Experienced full stack software engineer with a demonstrated history (10+ years) of working with enterprise solutions on premise and in cloud. I don't shy away from maintaining old code bases or learning new/old technologies.
I love working directly with stake holders, even if they don't have engineering background. I can also team up with other freelancers and I know a few I've worked before in case you need more hands on deck, or need someone with a specialization, e.g. UI/UX design, translations...
Tech stack: Node.js, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, Vue.js, React, Svelte, Drizzle ORM, Dapper, EF Core, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, Azure Pipelines/GitHub Actions, Docker, Linux

Frontend: React , Vue , Livewire
Email: PTGPSoftware@outlook.com
Very competitive pricing available for fast turnaround PHP / JS or Node projects. If you are looking to develop a new project, clean up/refactor an existing one or something else/different then please get in touch. Just as happy to work on legacy/vanilla PHP applications as Laravel apps, or to port from one to the other (or give opinions on feasibility of that for your project).
I like to work in a methodical way, typically writing simple tests for new functionality as I go, and also isolating any bugs/likely bug surface area. At the same time I also get satisfaction from "shipping". So it's important to me to achieve a harmonious balance between these, so expect this to be an area of focus in terms of communication. My technical interests are anything from simple CRUD/REST APIs through to integration of more advanced features, which could be real time application (Pusher/Websocket, possibly Reverb when this is released) or integration with ML models and pipelines.
