I do custom electronics, robotics, and embedded software development - I specialize in quickly turning ideas into prototypes. I've built custom automation equipment for chemistry labs, sensors that are in use in household/utility applications, control circuitry for construction equipment, 3d printing electronics, data acquisition equipment. No project too small. Few projects too large. Deep discounts for open source hardware work.

I would also be happy to come over (anywhere in Europe) and teach any of the above skills to a small group of interested people. I've taught courses in electronic assembly (SMD), 3d printing (building/using printers, iterative 3d model design using programming) and robot design and construction. I've taught courses at several universities, hackspaces, and conferences.

Hi, I’m Neil. I’ve been developing Android and iOS apps for five years. I’ve worked with everyone from very small startups to Fortune 500 companies. I’m used to working closely with designers, server-side developers, product owners and other key stakeholders to deliver great apps.

I love working on greenfield projects and building on existing products. I’ve been heavily involved in turning apps from prototypes into production-quality software, and have also been solely responsible for designing and building new applications from the ground up.

I currently have 10-15 hours per week free in my schedule, and am looking to take on a freelance project.

I'm a DevOps consultant with 15 years experience hosting web applications and I'm on the lookout for interesting new projects.

I work closely with developers throughout the application lifecycle to build scalable and long-term robust architectures. Load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even led whole infrastructure teams.

Recent work includes:

+ AWS/Docker platform to securely host a large public-sector microservice-based web app taking millions of pounds per month (yes, PCI) in payments.

+ Physical platform hosting a large, successful news site for the financial sector.

+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Don't try this, you won't get rich.

+ Lots, lots more.
