Python/JavaScript/Go developer that likes open-source and doing MVPs. Last contract was building features they wanted to try as standalone to allow for easy user testing and fast iterations. I do quite a bit of Rust in my free time (see Github for the projects).

I also run a product (https://proppy.io/) to write proposals, written in Python (Flask) and TypeScript (React/Mobx).
