I'm big on efficiency and DRY methodology both in coding and in processes. I enjoy thinking about solutions on how to make a team work better as much as I enjoy thinking about how to create an elegant solution.

I have lots of experience designing simple interfaces for complicated websites. I also believe in launching code often and breaking a problem down into small parts that can be delivered in days rather than months. There really is no reason why there can't at least be some soft internal or private launch that can get users playing with something.

I would like to work with a company or someone that has interesting problems to solve. I'm at my best when I'm working with people that enjoy discussing and trying to figure out elegant solutions and are self motivated to produce great results.

For any questions or if you would like to chat you can contact me at rob@duchnik.com

SEEKING FREELANCER - Sunnyvale, California / Remote

We're a small bootstrapped business in Silicon Valley and we're looking to build two native mobile apps (one for Android, one for iOS) for browsing and displaying files with an existing cloud-based API.

The first phase of the apps will just be file browsing. The second phase will include other activities (to be described).

If you have proven ability to deliver native apps in Android or iOS, we'd love to talk!

You keep 100% of your income, but employers do set a nominal amount of credits (usually $1-3) per bid on their projects. This is really beneficial for both parties. If you've ever used other freelance marketplaces, you'll know that it's difficult to get noticed when you drown in a sea of bids. And usually, the freelancers never even read the project description. The bid fee ensures that freelancers are serious and qualified for the job, reducing spam and making you much more noticeable.
