    Schedule: Part-time (10/20h per week)

Currently employed but looking to build relationships with teams that value craftsmanship and velocity. I'm offering competitive rates ($70-90/hr) for the right fit - prioritizing team culture and interesting problems over maximizing income.

What I bring:

- 12+ years shipping production code

- Dev tooling expertise (recently: custom Babel AST analyzers for faster debugging)

- US timezone compatible, fluent English for technical discussions

- Proactive problem-solver who improves processes, not just writes tickets

Availability: 10-20 hours/week (flexible evenings/weekends)

Ideal projects:

- Teams with strong engineering culture who build ambitious things cleanly and fast

- Greenfield development or systematic refactoring

- Bonus: Highly formal/industrial model-driven environments and FP/Logic Programming environments (Clojure, Haskell, Scala, Prolog)

Open to reduced rates or pro bono work for compelling mission-driven projects in healthcare, education, ecology.

Open to chat if you value quality over speed-at-any-cost.
