Hi! I offer UX/UI and web design services to startups to help them improve the usability and presentation of their products. I have an edge in coming up with practical design ideas that keep development constraints in mind because I'm also an experienced full stack developer that sells apps I've made myself.

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://www.checkbot.io/), a paid browser extension that tests websites for SEO, speed and performance problems that's designed to be novice friendly. The entire project is my own work including UX/UI design, branding, the extension (using TypeScript, Node, Vue and Firebase), custom website design (optimised for fast loading) and all copy/articles/guides on the website.

[ Checkbot is rated 4.9/5 across ~700 reviews on the Chrome Web Store, 40K+ active users, 100s of paying subscribers ]

I have 10+ years of experience and I've been working for myself for about 5 years. I've completed projects for 20+ companies including Just Eat and Triumph Motorcycles, and I have a PhD in software verification. See my website for testimonials, portfolio and more: https://www.seanw.org

Email sw@seanw.org with a short description of your project and how you think I can help. I'll get back to you within one working day so we can arrange a call and work towards a quote.

I'm a front-end developer with extensive experience in legacy code refactoring, greenfield development, and company-wide cross-team collaborative initiatives.

I work with: React, JavaScript, TypeScript, SASS/SCSS, styled-components, CSS Modules, Jest, Enzyme, Puppeteer, Webpack, Parcel, Lerna, Redux, constate, Bootstrap, Material UI, ...

I've been developing web applications professionally since 2012, worked as a freelancer and as a full-time employee.

Contact: taras.evt@gmail.com

Things you can hire me for:

* Join your in-house agile team of developers to work on urgent features

* Create a front-end part of your MVP from scratch

* Implement a library of React components for your design system

* Transition AngularJS components to React

* Migrate JavaScript codebase to TypeScript

* Work on code infrastructure (linting, unit testing, CI, JS bundler speed/size optimizations, code reviews, etc.)

Right now I'm especially interested in dApps/web3 development.

Technologies: C/C++, Python, Django, Django REST framework, Pytorch, + more

I have a broad range of experience - from developing custom controllers for hardware on autonomous vehicles to creating a book written and illustrated entirely by AI. Plus plenty in-between.

My job is to solve your problems, usually with software. If you have an interesting or niche project we might be a good match! I like helping to get early-stage projects off the ground, but I consider most projects as long as they're interesting and challenging - bug fixes and legacy systems included. Particularly interested in projects in sports and automotive.

Also available for writing (incl technical).
