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.

SEEKING WORK - Currently Remote from Thailand (UTC+7), with potential for short on-site trips if necessary. Relocating to Australia soon(ish).

20 years experience across a mixture of Ops/Infrastructure/Dev-Tools and web application architecture and development, with a focus on solving unique/uncommon problems.

I’m looking for opportunities to help companies with backend/server-side architecture & development, system integration and/or server infrastructure setup/maintenance.

I currently work remotely from Thailand, on a reasonably flexible schedule (I can schedule work hours to get overlap with most other timezones when required) but on-site visits to pretty much anywhere are a possibility if required too.

Contact me via email (in my profile) if you want to have a chat about what you’re working on!

SEEKING WORK | Cambridge, UK | Remote preferred (occasional travel OK)

Offering hands-on software development and technical leadership services, I specialise in:

• Mathematical, scientific and engineering applications

• Custom user interfaces and data visualisation

• Software for hardware (IoT, lab equipment, embedded)

I have over 20 years’ experience developing software, mostly working with smaller organisations. If your situation looks anything like these, I could probably help you:

• A scale-up struggling to overcome early tech debt and transition to more sustainable development

• A hardware start-up looking to outsource software development to a multi-skilled freelancer

• A software start-up that can’t hire permanent senior+ level developers fast enough to hit targets

• A research group needing a professional to implement models and visualisations in good code

Every project is different and will be treated as such, but recently I’ve been favouring TypeScript or Python for web development (with React or Vue for UIs) and Python, C++ or Haskell for more mathematical or hardware-related work. I have experience with a wide range of target platforms from AWS to embedded ARM.

If you have a project that I may be able to help you with, you’re welcome to get in touch. My contact details are in my profile.

Fractional CTO & Staff Level Engineer for Rapid Product Delivery. Ex-Zapier

I'm a deeply technical, hands-on engineer who has founded small companies and led multiple teams. My particular expertise is working with the business to identify high-ROI opportunities and bringing focus to engineering teams to accelerate product delivery. Specialties include:

- Rapid Prototyping: I can quickly prototype ideas leveraging LLMs, DevOps infrastructure, and other cutting-edge technologies. - Fractional CTO: If you need a technical approach or hands-on help for your team, I can do both. I have been a CTO and Director of Engineering previously and have moved to an IC role as a Staff Developer currently. - Accelerating Product Development: I take chaotic engineering teams and bring much-needed alignment and focus, ensuring they're working towards a unified goal and delivering products efficiently.

Some of my recent achievements include: - Took charge of an unfocused team of 13 engineers and data scientists to launch the world’s first free machine learning-based dermatologist app in four weeks. Over 500k uses in 6 months. - Built a document generation prototype using LLMs in two weeks, leading for it become a major development initiative across multiple teams. - Lead product management and business development for an AI product I co-founded: aerial.ai. I led and landed deals with Amazon, Samsung, Panasonic, iRobot and others. - Unlocking mid-market sales for a legal SaaS company by leading performance improvements that delivered 5-10x faster load times Implementing an observability platform using OpenTelemetry to give insights on how our desktop app is performing.

I'm available for part-time engagements, either as a fractional CTO or as a hands-on technical leader. If you need help bringing clarity, focus, and rapid execution to your engineering efforts, let's connect.
