Hi! I had pretty good luck in this thread last time I participated. I was able
to connect with a few great people and work on interesting projects for them.
The world has changed quite a bit since then, so we'll see how this goes.
Last October, after ~4 years, I left an Engineering Lead role at a small
podcasting software company. Previously I've founded/sold a solo startup in the
web accessibility space, worked in digital agencies for ~7 years, and built
software for TV/Radio operations.
Since October, I've been working on building a suite of desktop software with
Tauri and am just now at a stage where I have some flexibility to take on client
work again.
To be clear - I do not sling slop or sub-contract work. If you are looking for
+100,000 line PRs daily, I'm not the person you are looking for. If, however,
you are interested in well considered, resilient code and thoughtful advice
informed by a wealth of experience in a lot of different industries and
technologies feel free to reach out.
Some of the areas and technologies I can help with:
Laravel, JavaScript (Svelte, React, Vue, NodeJS), Rust, Tauri, DevOps (AWS,
Containerization, CI/CD), improving legacy codebases, human processes / team
culture (particularly where they intersect/conflict with LLM usage), and more.
I'm open to ad hoc feature work or greenfield projects. Both discounted rates
based on the client's ability to pay and flat rates are possible for the right
client. Agencies are fine, and I'm open to retainers.
I'm booking projects now to start in mid-August. Reach out via email to schedule
a call.
I'm a bit late to this thread, but also wanted to express my thanks to Jeff for mise. I have a lot of different projects in my ~ directory in various languages and with various task runners. Migrating dependency management and wrapping tasks in mise's task runner has removed so much cognitive overhead getting spun back up on projects I haven't touched in a while. Great work!
