SEEKING FREELANCE WORK | UX/UI & web design

I help organisations involved in social and environmental causes with the design of their website, UI, products and social media posts. I've worked on projects focused on thermal solar energy, household waste reduction, plant-based food advocacy and data science for social/environmental issues. My collaborative design process is based on creating designs that align with your goals while taking into account what's practical to develop.

Do you need the expertise of a seasoned software engineer for a project but don't have the budget for someone full-time? Are you willing to have the project completed asynchronously, on an hourly basis, in around 1-15 hours per week? If so, we should talk (the introductory call is free). I have around a decade of experience (see below) and am available on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as some times on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (MWF I teach math & Latin at a small classical school). My standard rate is $100/hour for async work, $150/hour if there's tighter deadlines. Discounts available for special circumstances :)

Work experience:

- Built a tool (non-AI) to read Latin texts and generate fully-parsed glossaries. I used this tool in a few Latin readers I've published recently.(Tech: Clojure, Ada)

- Built a billing system, using Stripe integration, for a B2B SAAS app.

- Fractional team lead for Learnics. Wrote a bibliography generator that supports MLA, APA, and Chicago style. (Tech: Vue, Firebase)

- Built the front-end for https://app.composer.trade, a systematic trading app. Took the company from designs all the way through launch. (Tech: Clojure/Script, Firebase)

- Created a fuzz-testing tool that takes in a language grammar (EBNF) and uses that to generate syntactically correct random text in that language.

- Built a video-hosting and sharing site for family videos. (Tech: Reagent, Clojure/Script, S3, CouchDB, Stripe)

- Created the https://github.com/deckeraa/couchdb-auth-for-ring/ open-source library that enables you to use CouchDB as an authentication back-end for Ring apps.

- Led a team of ~17 software developers for the business intelligence module of a large healthcare IT company.

I'm a former academic researcher (in linguistics) turned self-taught software engineer who'd like to transition into professional software development. I'm experienced across the stack using Javascript/TypeScript, Python, and SQL with platforms like Cloudflare and Val Town. I bring a research-driven approach from my Ph.D. in linguistics.

Product and design for complex technical systems. Founded an indie game studio — semantic word games, meanings not spelling. Prior: SpicyNodes (visualization, 40M users), time.gov (1999), a medical AI serving 1.5M patients before AI was cool. Judge for IGF, MagFest, CODiE, GEE, Serious Games.
