Technologies: Full Stack LAMP or Computer Programming in general

Want to work with: Bootstrapped/Seed-stage startups from Middle East/EU/UK/AU

Time-zone: UTC +5:45

Availability: Immediate (80 hours/month)

I have been passionate about programming computers since I was in 6th grade (circa. 1998). I have onsite work experience working for startups in the San Francisco Bay Area (2015-2018). Since 2010 working professionally with tech teams of diverse sizes and with companies from around the world, and 5+ years of teaching web & mobile apps development I have had a natural drive towards working with small-sized startups, so with the vision to help global startup founders, I have recently incorporated “Berkeley Computer” based in Kathmandu (UTC +5:45). As of now, we are a two-person company (me and my rep in Berkeley, San Francisco), and I’m looking to find 1 long term project to work on which could keep me challenged at coding.

I offer end-to-end website development, MVP development, eCommerce development, SEO, and content writing services at a very reasonable rate. I started coding with QBasic and self-learned HTML/CSS/JS & PHP while making GeoCities web pages. During college, I did courses and projects on Assembly/C/C++/C#/Java/Android and tinkered with robotics/embedded systems on Keil & C. Later, I co-founded and ran a web development agency as a tech lead for 5 years serving clients from the US, UK, AU, Canada & India before moving to the US in 2015. I’m a polyglot in a sense, however, I have a keen interest in web development in the LAMP stack. Moreover, I am a self-learner so given the right opportunity I can get up to speed with the stack of your choice quickly. I am at my best when the work is async and flexible. Ideally, I’d like to work with the bootstrapped startups from Middle East/EU/UK/AU due to the manageable time differences but if anyone from the USA or Canada is open to collaborating with just 1-2 hours of overlap you are most welcome. Are you an startup founder looking for a reliable offshore assistant developer/partner? Please email me your project idea and let’s get to the work.
