SEEKING WORK | Cambridge/London UK or Remote
I'm a software engineer with 16 years of programming experience. I've helped startups get started and big companies keep going.
If you have web projects, then there's a good chance I've worked on something similar before and will be able to hit the ground running. If you need more general programming, I can do it. If you're doing something a bit esoteric, that would definitely suit me – I've done FPGAs, network protocols, speech recognition, more ETL than you can shake a stick at, and devising novel algorithms.
I consider myself a polyglot programmer and haven't found a language I can't be productive in yet. In the last 5 years I've written (at least) C#, Java, Python, Javascript (browser and Node.js), and Ruby professionally.
I'm friendly and easy-going, enjoy mentoring and working with other developers. I just delighted a client by delivering everything they wanted for a highly speculative project in 80% of the planned time, despite the project having completely failed twice previously before I was involved.
I'm happiest on fixed-term projects that I can complete on a schedule that suits both of us, and my clients have been very happy with this process too.
