Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (August 2023)

=============================================================

Howdy, I'm Summer! I've been doing software development for over 14 years, and would love to help your team out with any React or React Native project! It's my wheelhouse.

* I write code like the big companies - and I enforce unit tests, CI/CD, and clean code. I can do all the setup, too!

* I have no problem coming up with deadlines and communicating with the business. As a fundamental rule, I am always transparent and honest about my work. Need me to break down tasks, assign them out, and play project manager? I can do that, too!

* I love mentoring and helping others. Any developers under my wing will learn everything I know. I've worked at IBM, multiple staffing firms, and other small shops so I've seen it all! I am a very kind and bubbly person, so any developer will always feel safe to ask me questions and learn.

* I'm a US Citizen living in Dallas, Texas

=======

Are you looking for a Software Developer or an Engineering Manager / CTO?

If your company wants to improve an existing product, its software development process or develop a new product, I can take on a new project starting in mid-August.

I am an Engineering Manager with a focus on Solutions Architecture, System Design and System Analysis. I have experience building teams, establishing processes, working closely with product managers and managing technology projects from concept to completion (taking the role of Product Owner). I have hands-on experience in all the aspects of the Software Development lifecycle, including performing functions of DevOps and SRE (setting up and managing cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP, observability tools, CI/CD pipelines). A bit of experience with Machine Learning Computer Vision and early stage Product Management.

My primary focus is web back-end (PHP, Laravel), but I have also worked with mobile apps and front-end (React, Vue.js).

Our potential collaboration could take one of three forms:

1. If your company needs technological solutions but lacks a tech team, I provide a complete package: from initial analysis and doing software development myself to ongoing maintenance and managing the cloud infrastructure.

2. In cases where your tech team requires interim leadership or specific expertise, I step in as interim CTO, also filling in any existing knowledge or skill gaps. I can audit your team(s) and software development process to improve speed of your team and/or the quality of the product.
