Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking Freelancer? (September 2019)

SEEKING WORK - Remote UI/UX designer and developer from Iceland looking to work on great projects where I can be a powerful asset in scaling a business. Portfolio at: https://gilli.is Over eight years of experience of working in Fin-tech, Journalism, TV and Media, Health, Science, and more.

I can provide the following for you:

- Design — Whether you need a design from scratch, a redesign, or you're having issues with a small part of you product, I can design it.

- Front-end Development — I can build the design into a pixel perfect product, this is rare among us designers and has proven to be extremely powerful for the end result since there is less wasted effort.

- Analysis — Your users know everything that's wrong with your product but have difficulty communicating it. Often it comes out in anger and frustration. That's where my usability and experience analysis comes in. I'll review your app from an outsider and expert point of view, and give you actionable feedback.

- Free advice — You might not be sure if I am the right fit and I very well might not be. I can help you figure out the best direction to go, for free.

I take my work very serious and put a lot of work into good communication, good planning, and, last but not least, properly understanding your product so that we can produce great results.

Fullstack mid-senior level developer. I can also jump in as dedicated front/backend developer, though my strong suit is backend in that scenario. I'm also a pro at configuring servers including database setup, nginx configuration, and I've managed sentry and jenkins instances as well as configured terraform and docker builds.

I love learning new technologies (right now I'm learning Rust).

I can also consult on topics like: choosing a stack for your startup, how to build your MVP the fastest for the least amount of $$, or sourcing different api's and tools for your business..

I've been CTO for a couple startups and have lead a small team for a mobile app startup and dealt with making decisions on how the app was built, and setting up their CI/CD pipelines.
