Ideally we want someone to help us set and document standards for usablity, accessibility, code quality and testing as we work our way through the existing codebase in Storybook.
Bonus points for experience with Ruby on Rails and end to end testing with e.g. Cypress.

I have over 10 years of experience building interactive and data-driven applications. I also have experience building machine learning models and processing large datasets. My full-stack development experience ranges from setting up SQL databases to implementing applications in Vue and Nuxt, as well as controlling media streams with WebSockets. I have built NLP pipelines with SpaCy (Python) and conducted signal processing for BCI research. Additionally, I have created interactive data visualizations and worked with libraries like Three.js, p5.js, and D3.js. I can also prototype applications for embedded systems.
I love engaging with interesting projects that require custom solutions, but I'm also adept at building straightforward web apps with relational databases.

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.
IT Specialist / Fractional CTO / Consulting CTO
My core skill is in building IT systems and teams that work. That means using tried and true technologies and techniques, as opposed to what I see happen today, inexperienced people hacking what is at best PoC quality infrastructures on top of untried and fadish technologies.
As CTO, I build and run highly effective teams, delivering results under high-pressure business conditions. I am technically very hands-on, so I that I can insure that what my team is building will work. My leadership ability is backed by 30 years of deep experience in all areas of IT and hundred of technologies.
As a software engineer and architect, I have a knack for building complex systems that work efficiently and reliably. I model systems and processes in a way that accounts for all the business requirements as well as the concerns of stability, performance, HA and long-term operations. I particularly specialise in large-scale, complex, data-driven workloads on Azure and AWS.

Howdy, I'm Summer! I've been slinging code for over 15 years.
I'm currently focusing on mobile with React Native - I can build your app AND lead and mentor your team, too! If you need just plain React, I can do that, too!
What separates me from the competition is I bring a warm, friendly, and holistic approach to enterprise software design. I'm incredibly easy to talk to and gentle in whatever I do.
My job is to make your problems go away - let's chat! =D

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 9 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly.
You will like working with me because I:
Concrete examples:* built the streaming data architecture for realtime game player information and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization. Also built, deployed and maintained their ask-a-question-get-a-true-answer AI bot to expose 20+ years of stats to natural language fan questions!
* Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.
* replatformed dozens of jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund, vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months.
* built a ~50 node, AWS, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.
* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.

I have a registered business and have been a contractor since early 2000's. Happy to take "one off" projects that only last a day or have an indefinite timespan.
Happy to work on stuff on my own, at startups or large companies. I've been streaming for almost a year so there are hundreds of hours of me coding a video game using Zig + WebAssembly and also Laravel+PHP if you want to see how I code. I love working on things where I squeeze every ounce of performance from something.

I want my freelance endeavours to be just focused on things-that-make-the-world-a-better-place.
Happy to be there from start (ideation-phase) to deep into the product (user experience/user interface/product strategy) to the end (prototyping, testing, iterating, helping out with front-end in React)

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 any type of company, but for startups in particular. 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
