SEEKING WORK - Digital Nomad, GMT Timezone, US LLC
Fullstack developer with a founder's mindset available for hire by the day, week, or month. I like to start client relationships with a fixed price project and then move to time-based billing.
I like to solve business problems with code. My most common project recently has been web scraping (or mobile API scraping). Other services include fullstack development, API integration, cloud orchestration, migration from the cloud to bare metal, and esoteric network setup.

I am a fullstack developer with broad 10+ year experience. I am self-taught, programming since I was 12, selling my first website at 14, with a CS degree from Yale. As a result, I have a broad exposure to many practical business problems, but also understand CS fundamentals and the low level details of computing systems.
In college my side project proxy51.com sold proxies to 400+ customers, booked $200k revenue in 2013, and ran on a fleet of 20 servers behind 10,000 IP addresses. It started having problems, and because I was busy with school, I could not address them, so I chose to shut down the company.
After college, most recently I co-founded a social app startup that raised $500k from multiple recognizable investors. We grew it to 600k users our first year (as the result of a ridiculous growth hack), but eventually for various reasons we decided to shut it down and return investor money.
Now, I am traveling the world while contracting and experimenting with new product ideas.
