SEEKING FREELANCE WORK | UX/UI & web design

I help startups with the UX/UI and web design of their products. This includes web apps, websites, landing pages, copywriting, and I can assist with frontend development where needed. My background of launching my own products and being a full stack developer helps me create practical designs that balance usability, aesthetics, development effort, and performance. I work to fixed price quotes for self-contained projects.

---

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://checkbot.io/), a browser extension that tests websites for SEO/speed/security problems. The entire project is my own work including coding the extension itself, UX/UI design, website design (the homepage is optimised to load in 0.7 seconds, 0.3MB data transferred), marketing, website copy, and website articles on web best practices.

I have 10+ years of experience, including a PhD in software verification and 5+ years working for myself helping over 25 companies including Just Eat, Triumph Motorcycles and Fogbender (YC W22). See my website for testimonials, portfolio and more: https://seanw.org

Note: For large projects, my partner usually assists me in the background (I’m working on starting a design studio with her in the future)

20 years in web development. Spent the last 11 as partner, CTO, backend developer at Kidsout — a marketplace for babysitters and parents. Live product with payments, 1.2M completed bookings.

Small engineering team, so I wore many hats: hands-on development alongside CTO responsibilities — architecture, hiring, processes, analytics, devops. Heavy cross-functional work with product, support, and marketing.

Core stack is Ruby on Rails + PostgreSQL. Comfortable with Python and JS. Open to other technologies.

Looking for product companies or strong consulting teams. Open to Staff or Senior Backend Engineer roles. Have Ukrainian and Russian passports, sole proprietorship in Georgia.

Hi, I'm Charles and I have decades of experience with Linux administration, with some cloud and orchestration thrown in for good measure. I am passionate about open source and making people's lives easier. My strengths are clear communication and methodical troubleshooting/analysis. I love learning new things and hope for a job that exposes me to more coding, cloud, orchestration, AI-related development, and nice people.

Well-versed in: Linux, Python, Bash, virtualization, containers, CI/CD, Ansible, git, and more. I am a generalist and love digging deep into new things.

Only open to remote W-2 positions at this time. May consider an on-site job in or around Ann Arbor if the culture is right. Regardless, I'm always happy to talk to anyone about anything so absolutely feel free to reach out for a chat!

Hello! I am a software engineer with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, more than 10 years of experience and 10 professional certifications earned after a lot of study and hard work.
