SEEKING WORK - Remote or New York City
Adaptable web technologist. Maker before planner. Trusted advisor.
I can bring 15 years of software experience (10 in the Bay Area) to help get your products in front of customers. Where I best support is in a role with tight communication loops with low management overhead. I've worked on products with millions of visitors, as well as helped get startups off the ground by being a contributor as well as a listener and faciliator of good practices such as training, retrospectives, and recruiting. I'm pretty good at breaking big things into small things and keeping the flow going. I'm seasoned as a full-time remote teammate who overcommunicates.
My technical expertise is steeped in web technologies, particularly React and its associated tools. For a client I created Universal Redux (<a href="), a precursor to Create React App, helped make it the base of their projects and then managed its journey to an open source release. I'm up to date and versed in the ins and outs of hooks, TypeScript, Electron, and Gatsby. I can help kickstart (or contribute to) solid integration tests and build tools. I can be very autonomous, and am a not-so-bad generalist when I need to be, capable of supporting across the stack. As an example, I have recently developed/designed/managed a popular site entirely independently: ProtonDB (<a href="). The site reached HN as a #1 post, receives  150k MAU and growing, and requires only minimal upkeep and expense.
My rate is $140/hour. Let me know if you think we'd be a good fit! You can reach me at buckatwork [at] gmail.com
