I love consulting on projects and technical problems that people are facing, so even if you don't end up hiring me, let's at least meet and chat about what you're working on and see if there's anything I can do to help. I'm happy to offer a free initial consultation, so you've got nothing to lose but time, and I guarantee that I won't waste yours.

Email: me+hn @ segoviacristian dot com Based in: Latam Have 5+ years of experience working at US based startups and small companies. Looking for full stack roles, though open to frontend or backend roles as well. Grew up in the states, so native level English.

Willing to relocate: no, but willing to travel/visit. I'm flexible with working hours, I usually work with clients from either Western Europe or the USA.

I do dev/devops/security, usually for startups or scale-ups or other small orgs with limited resources, and I've been doing that for 15+ years. So, if you:

* Have a slow web application that’s often down?

* Want to improve security and don’t know where to start?

* Have a legacy system that needs to be replaced?

* Are considering an acquisition but not sure about the technical side?

I can help with that. For example, in the past I have:

* Massively improved performance and reliability for a data visualization platform.

* Led a large effort to improve security for a cybersecurity SaaS.

* Built a micropayments system for a prominent media startup.

* Rebuilt an aging e-learning platform from scratch for a GDPR compliance SaaS.

* Conducted technical due diligence for acquisitions.
