SEEKING WORK | Southern CA, US | Remote

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.

Past Projects:

  - Cancer diagnosis extraction from physician notes.
  - Image dataset labeling app.
  - Thirty thousand patents visualized with D3.js.
  - Web based interactive dataviz that visualized patient demographics against diagnoses.
  - OpenBCI Cyton based P300 Speller.
  - Over 800 lights synchronized for programmable playback on a buildings façade.
  - Cinder based lobby and building display.
  - Proximity sensing period jukebox.
  - A psychedelic Apple TV app that visualizes phrases.

SEEKING WORK | Laravel / PHP and React / Vue

Remote: Yes

Location: UK (Flexible on your timezone)

Relocation: No

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.

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

Robbert, front end developer with 8+ years experience. Focus on interactive interfaces in React.

If you need someone to build a dashboard, web app, interactive widget, or beautiful animations with great UX, look no further.

I’ve got experience designing and building complex interfaces with React, using a variety of tech stacks: Next.js, Tailwind, Framer Motion, Redux, Zustand, Radix, Material UI, shadcn/ui and more.

Non-tech qualities: Clear and open communicator, reliable, and able to not just implement but also design interfaces with business needs in mind.

Looking for: Clearly defined projects (<12 months) and also open to part time or smaller short term assignments.

SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, US based, backend engineer

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:

     * hold your goals as my priorities
     * communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
     * my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
     * I guarantee I will get the job done
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.
