Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking Freelancer? (August 2019)

Full stack engineer specializing in single-page universal Javascript apps with React and Node. At my last job, I was hired to rebuilt the ecommerce website of a startup (over $1b in revenue) from scratch. I rebuilt it as a single-page app with Node.js, React/Redux, PostCSS, Docker, CircleCI, etc. The result was page speed improvement of over 10x, reduced server costs, and drastically increased dev speed and release cycles.

That being said, I'm not tied down to any technologies or frameworks. I previously did a freelancing contract (from this thread!) where I built out a 2D HTML5 Canvas mobile game for someone. I've also dabbled in things like Three.js/WebGL.

Have you gotten your company past the first stage or two to where it's profitable? Have you been thinking about starting to collect data and optimize? Then let's discuss!

I will instrument your software to produce the necessary metrics and data points, store them, analyze them, view them on dashboards, and best of all: optimize and grow! Both now and down the road.

Another common scenario I can help you with: have you created a monster Excel spreadsheet fed by your database? I can replace it with dashboards that show the same information in a much more useful format so that you won't have to squint at that clunky spreadsheet anymore!

Remote only. Not willing to relocate, but open to a small amount of travel.
