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.

I'm a Software Engineer with ~12 years of experience. I've worked across a fair few stacks at this point but have a fair amount of experience in Python & JavaScript, not to mention general DevOps stuff. I've also worked across a few different roles, from Lead Dev to Engineering Manager.
I'm currently nomading around Southeast Asia and am keen to find some contract/freelance/consulting work. I'm pretty flexible with what I'm looking for in all honesty, my main want is to help solve problems and write some great code.
EMBEDDED FIRMWARE and HARDWARE
Got an embedded programming challenge you need solved? I'll solve it!
14 years of experience, and I've seen it all; for the past decade I've been exclusively consulting independently. Past clients have included companies large and small, with everything from green-field ideas for new products to tricky situations with existing products they needed fixed. Comfortable working under regulatory constraints; many of the projects I've worked on have been medical devices.
C is my bread and butter on the embedded side, and Python is my go-to for developing PC utilities and scripts, but I'm comfortable working in a lot of languages from assembly all the way up to Javascript when needed. I can even patch embedded binaries by hand when needed.
Architectures? Well, these days it's mostly ARM Cortex, but I've done everything from 8051 and 6502 to STM8 to PIC16/24 to all of the modern stuff, plus a handful of really obscure things. Specific chip families that I've dealt with a lot lately include STM32, nRF5x, and PIC16, but again, I've successfully worked with MCUs from NXP, SiLabs, Renasas, Atmel, Nordic, Microchip, and various other vendors.
Super comfy with Linux, though most of my practice is bare-metal or with true RTOSes.
Bespoke drivers need development? No problem. USB, I2C, SPI, CAN? Yup, all of those and more. BLE, LoRa? Expert. Power optimization for battery operation? I squeeze out every last nanoamp -- and can quantify the improvement.
BS in EE. I have a fully equipped lab bench, including for RF out to 8 GHz. Bringing up boards, debugging hardware, and consulting on hardware improvements are all no problem. I do embedded hardware design, too, if that's what you need.
US citizen, masters from Stanford.
Feel free to reach out and let's see if there's a good fit. Thanks!

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 have a PhD in computer engineering, focusing on operations research (OR). I specialize in developing solutions to OR problems and advising on OR matters for startups and small companies. In other words, I can translate real-world problems into mathematical models that can be solved via integer programming, constraint programming, or other optimization methods. I can implement and provide a production-ready solution for any type of problem you might have related to OR: scheduling, routing, etc.
Recent work includes an optimization model for the selection of indexes in Postgres: https://pganalyze.com/blog/index-advisor-v3

I am a Lead Infrastructure Engineer with 20+ years of experience, specialised in training and mentoring software engineers with the goal of improving their infrastructure and DevOps skills.
My preferred method of work is on-the-job training or mentoring, where we work together on real tasks or on a real project for weeks or months. This is a very effective way to learn, can be adjusted to a wide range of skill levels and as a bonus, some work gets done on the way.
Whether you are just putting together an infra team, looking to introduce some of your software engineers to the "ops" world, need some extra help on an infra-heavy project or temporarily lacking tech leadership on the infra topics, contact me and we'll figure it out.
I am located in Estonia, prefer to work remotely, but on-site visits are an option.
The usual topics are various AWS services, Elastic Stack, Linux, scripting, infrastructure as code, troubleshooting, logging & monitoring, managing cloud costs, but I find it rewarding to venture into new areas together with the team.

I’m an interface designer and Webflow developer — basically, I make websites since 2020 (yep, the outbreak changed my life).
Design and develop websites for clients (be it landing pages, company sites, ecommerce, blogs), integrate/connect various services to Webflow via API/n8n, and work on my course and private community. I’m a very active member in no-code communities, but I also provide paid mentorships.
Currently, I came to my hometown in RU to visit my parents, but will move to Thailand/China/SEA afterward.
Feel free to reach out about your project, job offer, or just say hi!
Well versed in python and javascript, but capable in other languages as well (have deployed Java/Golang/C/Dart recently). I've recently been working in privacy/security, had a long stint at a global non-profit working on combating disinformation. I've recently been a paid contributor on the open-source project Zulip doing Flutter.
I've been big on python testing lately. I've implemented testing for large python projects at two companies now, bringing them from 0% coverage to 100% coverage. I'm experienced in mocking tools to isolate components for testing, make tests deterministic, and remove the need for networking (who wants to run tests that rely on third party things).
Commonly found using Django but not restricted to that. Lots of experience with modern react/vue as well as Flutter. I've been a remote worker for a decade now, so I had a track record of getting things done without direct supervision, and my remote work means my schedule is flexible for side projects. Set up to easily work with either US or UK entities.
