Looking for projects starting in February 2020 onward, with roughly 2-week to 6-month timelines and budgets ~US$10k-100k. Prefer to bill hourly or day rate, but by milestone is fine too.

Strong communication and time-management skills. Have worked with clients found via HN/Angel, some for many years. References available.

    - Backend: Python/Flask, Ruby/Rails, Clojure
    - DB: PostgreSQL or NoSQL
