Do you need the expertise of a seasoned software engineer for a small project but don't have the budget for someone full-time? Are you willing to have the project completed asynchronously, on an hourly basis, in around 5-10 hours per week?
If so, we should talk (the introductory call is free). I have around a decade of experience (see below) and am available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I teach math & Latin at a small classical school). My standard rate is $100/hour for async work, $150/hour if there's tighter deadlines or if you're funded by VC.
Recent work:
- Fractional team lead for Learnics. Wrote a bibliography generator that supports MLA, APA, and Chicago style. (Tech: Vue, Firebase)
- Created an app for playwrights to use for creating and rehearsing plays. (Tech: React, Typescript, Flask, Postgres)
- Built the front-end for https://app.composer.trade, a systematic trading app. Took the company from designs all the way through launch. (Tech: Clojure/Script, Firebase)
- Created a fuzz-testing tool that takes in a language grammar (EBNF) and uses that to generate syntactically correct random text in that language. During text generation it can also take in external information (such as table and column metadata for use in generated SQL queries) to create random text that is contextually correct as well. Currently used for testing SQL databases.
- Built a video-hosting and sharing site for family videos. (Tech: Reagent, Clojure/Script, S3, CouchDB, Stripe)
