SEEKING WORK | Remote | CET Location: around 46/14 In past 20 years did many different projects, mostly worked with teams 1-5. 60% of projects were related to sport and TV, rest was various other fields. I was jumping between leading, architecting, designing, programming and things in-between :)

Last years I programmed mostly in C# (web services, aspnet, razor, ...) also desktop apps (WinForms, WPF, Avalonia), JS/Typescript (mostly for gui, I enjoyed mithril and now SolidJS). I also did some c++ for various small integrations (for example some plugin for Godot, some ffmpeg, ...) and lately studying Rust. Mostly worked with GPC 70% , AWS 20%, other 10%.

I like to make GUI/backends that makes sense, are easy to understand (test with users) and performant/fast. Also to last years, with minimum dependencies.

I also have experience with live events setup for small broadcast of events, networking experience

I did tons of remote support with people around the world, also know how to use this information to make better programs (or design...).

I do not have any experience with AI.

Looking for 20-100 hours per month.

SEEKING WORK | Remote

I'm a full-stack developer with expertise in Python, Hugo, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My preferred stack is Python for backend and Tailwind CSS with Daisy UI for frontend, building clean, functional, and visually appealing applications. I have extensive experience deploying static sites (Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages) and building Flask/serverless applications. With a background in Renewable Energy, I bring a unique analytical edge and a love for data visualizations. I also excel at product engineering, converting complex requests into manageable tasks, and prioritize well-documented, organized code. Passionate about open-source and helping people build their own personal blogs (like rishikeshs.com). I also run the "10+1 Things" newsletter (~3k readers).

Hi! I've been a software engineer for around 7 years. I have experience with both front-end (mostly React), as well as back-end (mainly Python) and I'd be happy to work on either side of the stack (or both) as well as learning new things. The most important thing to me is to create a positive experience for my users.

I also like contributing to free & open-source software. Most of it is available in my GitHub profile: https://github.com/MarcAbonce

Have a new product launching soon? Or some content you have been meaning to get to?

Hi, I'm Jeremy, an ex-software engineer who writes about tech. After helping build a cloud storage unicorn, I got into teaching developers and found out that I'm pretty good at making complicated stuff make sense. Now I write technical content mainly for SaaS companies. Happy to also chat about open-source, cloud architecture, or where tech content is heading.

- Topic Planning: Not sure what to write about? I look deep into what your users care about and map out content that'll actually help them while helping you grow.
