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

Location: Tennessee, United States

Remote Work: Yes, only

Unicorn. I do branding [1], design, and full-stack JavaScript development. I built the Joystick JavaScript framework (full-stack [2]) and Push deployment service [3]. Recently shipped Parrot [4].

Looking to work with entrepreneurs and small teams (or VCs who need a sharp shooter who can deliver) who need help shipping product and features that work from day one, fast. 17+ years of experience running a small business/shipping software, so I don't need to be babysat—just set loose with a clear idea of what needs to be built and open lines of communication if/when I have questions. The catch: using freelance work to finance product ideas and have freedom to do work on my terms (i.e., I can be available to consult long-term but not looking to transition to a full-time position).

Average time to brand, design, and ship a full-stack app is 3-6 months but I can move faster if you're willing/able to delegate 100%.

I have a PhD in computer engineering, focusing on operations research (OR). I specialize in developing solutions to OR problems and advising on OR matters for any type of company, but for startups in particular. In other words, I can translate real-world problems into mathematical models that can be solved via integer programming, constraint programming, or other optimization methods. I can implement and provide a production-ready solution for any type of problem you might have related to OR: scheduling, routing, etc.

Recent work includes an optimization model for the selection of indexes in Postgres: https://pganalyze.com/blog/index-advisor-v3

Like this Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so I am in the process to relocate to Africa.

While I could find a job elsewhere I believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location I am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.

I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and I am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.

I am also open to work for companies anywhere as long as the work can be done fully remote from Africa.

In addition, my plan to use some of my income to hire local interns and junior developers and train them in order to pass on my experience. If you want to support this, I would love to work with you. Also if you are interested in hiring African developers yourself. I can help you build up your team.
