SEEKING WORK: London, UK or remote
I'm a full-stack developer with nearly a decade of professional experience. I like Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, and Python. Right now I'm looking for a 3-6 month full-time contract, ideally in London. For remote roles I'm available longer-term too.
I spent 4 and a half years at Last.fm, giving me experience in writing code that scales to millions of users. I helped a medical startup rearchitect their code to be testable, more reliable, and extendable. More recently I wrapped up a Rails project for Skype with a tight deadline and non-negotiable scope. Together with one other developer, we delivered it on time and under budget.
My ideal contract would be one of these:
- You're a startup looking for help building your product, developing a roadmap, iterating with customers, and building your permanent team.
- You're in a tight spot and in need of rescue. Maybe you've got too much technical debt. Maybe you've got no tests and no documentation. Maybe you've got no supporting infrastructure and no backups. I'll help you get back to a good place.
- You've got a team you trust, but don't have enough developers right now. You need someone who'll get up to speed quickly, turn up on time, and pull his weight with the rest of the team.
