Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (June 2016)

I am a web developer with over 15 years of experience, and always looking for interesting projects to work on: small, medium or large.

I have a passion for learning and writing about technology, particularly software architecture, design patterns and on staying up to date on the most modern ideas in software development, programming languages and security.

Growing a business is hard. Customer demands keep coming in. The feature list is getting longer by the day. Launch deadlines are looming. Your developers are starting to burn out.

What if you could mark items off that feature list?

What if deadlines didn't feel so intimidating?

What if your developers felt relief because they could focus on specific features?

Get ready to work with a developer that can take the anxiety out of your Rails development projects. I'm experienced in full-stack Rails development, but perhaps more importantly, experienced in working with a variety of different software teams and projects. Agile. Remote. Small teams. You name it. You can rest assured that I'm not a developer who goes "off the radar"...hiding and building out "clean code"" only to turn up in three days to find out that what they built isn't what was needed or has the wrong tasks prioritized.

Communication is key and I understand that, because I have learned the hard way and I have seen others fail at it too.

Growing a business means getting everyone to row the boat in the same direction, which we all know, is harder than it sounds. I'm here to help.
