Hi, I'm François, a full-stack TypeScript developer with 10 years of experience. I've built web apps for startups and public institutions as a freelancer, now looking for new clients and opportunities.

I favour efficiency over complexity, and I'm a strong advocate for free & open-source software (I maintain several NPM packages on GitHub). I also believe that remote work is mutually beneficial, having worked remotely with international teams for the past 6 years.

I'd rather avoid sectors like crypto and finance (though I've shipped a few cryptographic products unrelated to finance), and would prefer to work on products that have a net-zero carbon impact.

SEEKING WORK | UX/UI & web design

Portfolio: https://www.seanw.org/

Live example project: https://www.checkbot.io/

Location: Edinburgh, UK and remote (I’m used to time zone differences and async work)

Email: sw@seanw.org

I help startups with the UX/UI and web design of their products. This includes web apps, websites, landing pages, screenshots and copywriting, and I can assist with frontend development where needed. My background as a tech startup founder and full stack developer helps me create practical design solutions that balance usability, aesthetics, development effort and performance. I work to fixed price quotes when projects are self-contained.

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://www.checkbot.io/), a browser extension that tests websites for SEO, speed and performance problems. The entire project is my own work including coding the extension itself, UX/UI design, website design (the homepage is optimised to load in 0.7 seconds, 0.3MB data transferred), website copy, and website articles on web best practices.

Needed: Software engineers to research LLM topics.

I’d like to find a couple freelance engineers to help out with some LLM research questions. Mostly they're questions of personal curiosity. Things like approximating the historical inference speed for a fixed model size, historically, and identifying what model improvements would be needed for GPT to be a useful 'junior dev' agent, or a useful MacOS desktop copilot.
