SEEKING WORK – full-stack JavaScript / CTO / Architect – REMOTE / Vilnius, Lithuania

I can build web apps/sites from the ground up. From server set-up, all the way to UI layouts in Bootstrap or similar. All I need is a Linux VPS and a communication channel to the client. I enjoy challenging work.

- I have built backends on Node.js, RingoJS (won an award for that),

- app for Firefox OS (has been featured on the marketplace),

- architectured and optimized consumer-oriented web apps for use on mobile devices,

- implemented a full-text search engine inside a mobile web-app,

- served at start-up's board

I have been working as web developer since 2000. I have deep knowledge of JavaScript, have used ES6 features back in 2010, focused on using the Better Parts of the language. Sometimes I often feel like a dev hipster: used many technologies before they were cool. Worked in different environments: from freelance work, startups, to banks.

Keywords: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, ES6, Node.js, RingoJS, Firefox OS, LESS CSS, Stylus, Jekyll, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, SVN, CSV, PHP, Python, MySQL, Sqlite, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MsSQL, ElasticSearch, Apache Solr, CouchBase, BerkeleyDB, Nginx, Apache, Linux shell, Bash, awk, Amazon Web Services, Gimp, Inkscape...

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE - technology entrepreneurship generalist with basic/intermediary knowledge in multiple web technologies.

An unicorn for hire :)

I am a strong technology entrepreneurship generalist with primary area of expertise in business strategy/marketing/advertising. Secondary areas of expertise include SEO, SMM, UX design, lead generation, etc, etc. I learn a lot, both from Coursera/edX and via osmosis from online communities. My professional interests include ecosystems that form around programming languages, frameworks and technological solutions to social problems.

I am NOT a strong developer in any language/technology.

I've cofounded several digital marketing agencies and consulted various local(Ukrainian) startups on business and marketing strategy.

Also worked in marketing at Google Ukraine.

I am mostly interested in combining my skills and working with the business strategy/marketing side of the services and/or products who are targeting developers as their primary customer segment. I would also love to work with non-profits and companies that generate social good.

Beginner and intermediary experience in multiple web technologies: ruby, rails, javascript, node.js, python, golang, html, git. Currently learning haskell, meteor.

SEEKING WORK - Remote/Thailand

10 years experience across a mixture of Infrastructure management and support plus web application architecture and development.

I’m looking for opportunities to help companies with backend/server-side architecture & development (primarily PHP MVC), system integration and/or server infrastructure setup and/or ongoing maintenance.

I mostly work remotely from Thailand, on a very flexible schedule (I can schedule work hours to get overlap with most other timezones when required) but on-site visits to pretty much anywhere are a possibility if required too.

Contact me via stephen (dot) reay (at) me (dot) com
