Looking for remote contract or freelance work, but generally open to other opportunities.
I specialize in backend and scripting work, and have worked on a wide variety of projects over a span of more than 15 years. I can ramp up to new tech and environments quickly. My last gig was as a software engineer at Amazon Vancouver for 20 months. I speak German and English and a little Chinese. I get work done, and can also communicate with clients to refine requirements. I am honest, and I'm striving to be a fair and decent person at all times.
Here's a testimonial from a former client: "We were working on a tight deadline for an accelerator program and he did an excellent job of completing the prototype with enough time to make tweaks and launch before submission. He was wonderful to work with: a great listener and understood my vision for the product; he put together exactly what I was looking for despite starting with just a vague idea and several basic sketches. I have a consulting/VC background that lacks in technical experience so I relied on him heavily to make several choices, and he was decisive and worked confidently despite the ambiguity. I would love to work with him again in the future!"
Thanks for reading! Looking forward to your messages, let's launch your rockets. :-)
