1) SEEKING WORK, APPRENTICESHIP, or INTERNSHIP (paid) in Washington, DC
I’m relocating back to DC (my hometown) after ten years in Sweden, where my career focus shifted from venture capital and project finance to software development, with a focus on web-related technologies, such as Node.js, Express, and React, Redux, Relay, GraphQL, to name a few. I got a degree in software engineering and management in 2015 and have done self-study and course since then, but I’m still realistically junior/mid-level, depending. I’m willing to do what it takes to get in the door and earn a full-time job offer.

2) SEEKING FREELANCER for MENTORING in Washington, DC area (or remote)
For pair programming and to generally help me learn, grow, and increase my knowledge, experience, value, and marketability. Besides what’s mentioned above, my main interests relate to creating and improving loveable web apps (multi-page and SPA) and PWAs, functional and reactive programming, testing (pragmatically, not dogmatically), CI/CD, and cloud-based architectures (but no “cloud jail”) to name a few other topics of interest. Workflow and big-picture-wise, I’m interested in pairing, mobbing, code reviews, refactoring towards simple, clean, secure, performant code. Regarding visuals and usability: I’m into simple, clean, easy, efficient, fast, intuitive, and beautiful interfaces and experiences. My public GitHub repos are mostly unfinished student projects. I’d like your input as I decide which few to go back to and finish as presentable portfolio pieces. And then your mentoring and pairing as I finish and present them. Would also be great to have you mock interview me to expose and help narrow gaps so I can get great job offers. Whatever you like for as long (or short) as you like. No stress or commitment. Funds are tight right now, but I can pay you. Get in touch and we can discuss. Thanks, Chris
