SEEKING WORK - Brighton, UK. London, UK. Remote.
Freelance developer based in Brighton in the UK (50 minutes from
London). I am flexible, resourceful and reliable and I can help you
turn your ideas into reality. I can build mobile and web apps as well
as fun things involving custom hardware. I can build prototypes or
full apps on my own but also happy to work as part of a team (and I
have a bunch of great people I work with if you need help putting
together one).
I work a lot with Python (often with Django) and JavaScript (Node.JS and browser) to build rich client browser based and mobile apps. I also do hardware based projects, I have experience with coding in Assembly and C on various micro controllers and Arduino development.
A very non-exhaustive list of technologies I have built real things with (and enjoyed): Python, JavaScript, Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS, AngularJS, OpenCV, D3.js, Arduino.
Some recent projects (see <a href="http://tomparslow.co.uk" > for more details):
- The software and technical design for a "magic mirror" that was used at London Fashion Week. Behind the scenes it was built with 15 network Raspberry Pis with camera modules. <a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/tag/london-fashion-week" >
- An iPad app for a medical company for quick lookup of drug interaction
- Interactive visualisations for an iPad based magazine built with D3.js (They look really nice and I can send you a link to try them out if you ask)
- Lead developer on a team building a collaboration application featuring a RESTful API and browser and mobile clients. See <a href="http://thisisdrum.com" > and see also a talk I gave on some of the tech at <a href="http://asyncjs.com/hypermedia/" >

Some fun stuff I've made recently:
- A solver written in Haskell for the regular expression crossword puzzle that was going round recently <a href="https://github.com/almost/regex-crossword-solver" >
- A location based app (works on desktop but mainly mobile): <a href="http://head2.me" >
- An open source JavaScript library I wrote: <a href="https://github.com/dharmafly/jsonpatch.js" >
- The Amazon Glacier support I contributed to Boto (popular Python library): <a href="https://github.com/almost/boto/tree/glacier/boto/glacier" >
I'd love to talk about your project. Please do get in touch! I am away from the office until next Wednesday but will get back to you then (or before if I find some Wi-Fi!)
