SEEKING WORK | UX/UI & web design

Portfolio: https://www.seanw.org/

Live example project: https://www.checkbot.io/

Location: Edinburgh, UK and remote (I’m used to time zone differences and async work)

---

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.

[ Rated 4.9/5, 50K+ active users, 100s of paying subscribers ]

---

I have 10+ years of experience, including a PhD in software verification and 5+ years working for myself helping over 20 companies including Just Eat, Triumph Motorcycles and Fogbender (YC W22). See my website for testimonials, portfolio and more:

https://www.seanw.org

Skills: Figma, Sketch, TypeScript, JavaScript, Vue, Hugo, Jekyll, WordPress, HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, Tailwind, OCaml, Java, Python, C, analytics, website SEO/speed optimisation.

Note: For larger projects, I usually have my partner assist alongside me in the background (I’m working towards starting a design studio with her in the future).

---

Email sw@seanw.org with a short description of 1) your project 2) how you think I can help 3) the business outcome you’re looking for and 4) any deadlines. I can get back to you in one working day to arrange a call to discuss a quote and how we can work together.

Kudos for creating checkbot! Saved me hours at some point and we were a paying customers for long.

SEEKING WORK | Raleigh, NC | REMOTE | US Citizen | Up to 20 hours per week

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++.

I also have 6 years of experience as a tech lead, where I was responsible for the technical direction and architecture on a team of between 3 and 15 developers.

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.

C++ stack: C++23 and below, CMake, vcpkg, clang, gcc, Visual Studio, Jenkins, CPack, Linux, Windows.

Libraries: OpenCV, Ceres Solver, Eigen, OR-tools, ffmpeg, boost, STL

UI: Qt, Qt3d, OpenSceneGraph, Dear ImGui

Available for: development, performance optimization, legacy code maintenance and modernization, build system integration, and code reviews.

SEEKING WORK | Croatia, EU (UTC+1) | REMOTE ONLY

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

Cloud: Azure, AWS, Hetzner

SEEKING WORK | Laravel / PHP and React / Vue

Remote: Yes

Location: UK (Flexible on your timezone)

Languages\Tech:

* PHP + Laravel + PHPUnit/Pest

* Javascript

* Typescript

* Python

Backend: Laravel, Node

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.
