Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (July 2022)

I'm a serial founder who's built and sold multiple companies. I want to help a new startup build their MVP, or convert a low-code prototype to code.

I have a decade of development experience ranging from new startups to publicly-traded corporations, and I've held leadership roles in engineering + product at major startups. But, my passion is building things - and I can use my background in software and product to build scrappy, polished applications quickly for companies.

I can handle end-to-end web app product development from scratch, including product definition, backend + frontend development, and basic design. I can also offer CTO-as-a-service for existing teams that need help growing or scaling.

When I pick a tech stack it's typically Rails + Hotwire + Tailwind, but I've worked in a variety of web stacks ranging including Vue, Go, Laravel, and Kubernetes. I'm an advanced user of Stripe, including their Connect product for marketplaces.

Here's a couple of projects I've built solo this year:

- https://postcard.page

- https://booklet.community

Can do hourly or weekly billing, and I'm open to flat-rate pricing for well-scoped projects.

Hi, my name is Till.

I always like to help people, so if you need help with anything, let me know! :)

I'm mostly offering short-term consulting. Usually, I work remotely, but I'm open to traveling to visit you short term. I can help get things running, especially when you're a young startup or launching a new project.

For example, maybe you have written a web app and need it deployed to the cloud. Or maybe you want to scale your product to meet the demand. Or maybe you want to launch your app in a new market, requiring a translation system and a new cloud deployment strategy. I can help make these things possible!

Buzzwords: C#, F#, .Net, C++, Typescript, Rust, Elm, C/C++, AWS (Cloudformation, CDK, S3, CloudFront, ECS, Lambda, RDS...), Rust, and terraform

I've also worked with hiring and product planning. You can also reach out if you just want feedback on your app or code.
