Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (April 2024)

Skills:

- Java, C#, Terraform, Python, Golang, JavaScript, Typescript, Clojure (getting better here)

- .NET, JVM, K8S, PostgreSQL, React, Azure, DevOps (Ansible/Chef/Docker/Terraform/IaC), Jenkins, GH Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Enterprise GitHub, ElasticSearch, MongoDB

Software engineer with 8 years experience under my belt. Most recently I was working for a scale-up company here in Sweden as a Tech Lead for a team of 5 developers. I am a strong generalist with a focus on developing for the cloud. My strengths lie in the backend/infrastructure side of the stack.

- Do you need to solve some issues with your CI/CD, but your team is too busy working on product development?

- Do you need a platform engineer to help you migrate your workloads to K8S?

- Do you need a fractional Tech Lead to steer your startup/scale-up tech stack?

- Do you just need an extra pair of hands to ramp up quickly and help meet your next deadline?

Then I just might be your guy.

Have you noticed something?

Everyone here is some kind of developer! And remember what developers are notoriosly bad at? That's right -- marketing and sales...which is exactly what I can help you with. Because no matter how good your product is if you don't know who your audience is and how to market it to them.

Remember what Gary Halbert said to his students if they were to compete with his hypothetical hot-dog stand, "I'll give you every advantage you ask for -- better hot-dogs, better prices, whatever...as long as I can get only one advantage. I want a starving crowd!"

Every week I stumble upon websites of software companies who are just as good as their more famous competitors (or even better), but their marketing sucks, and that's why they never reach the hockey-stick growth phase.

Want some help with that? Send me an email today.

Cheers, Filip Stanojevic -- Copywriter & Marketer

P. S. Don't worry about sleazy sales tactics, I am an engineer by training myself -- I did a lot of coding and data analytics while earning my BSc in engineering.
