For me, its client experience and satisfaction before everything else.
I'm a problem solver. It's my passion to help people solve problems. I have 7+ years of experience in a wide-range of programming languages, technologies, and concepts, web and desktop.
I began my career as a self-taught programmer. I studied Mathematics and Physics in the University, and I am deeply interested in Algorithm development. I build machine learning models and write codes in Python and JavaScript.
With now 7+ years of experience in the programming business, I have acquired the skills to operate a wide range of computer languages. I believe that my best attribute is my ability to use a strong analytical sense to troubleshoot and think abstractly.
I strive to be the go-to guy for technical troubleshooting issues. I yearn for the odd problem that no one can solve, and hope that it requires me to pick up new knowledge to conquer it.
When I'm not writing code and developing projects for my clients, I enjoy learning new technical skills like playing the electric guitar, new programming concepts, and other helpful skills (I just recently studied how efficient list comprehensions are for looping over items, for example).
I love to play chess and stargaze.
A natural born ‘computer geek’, I also like to use my down time taking part in white hat hacking & programming challenges, both for personal knowledge gain and to help build a safer Internet for everyone. Sometimes I join in hackathons as well.
Work Terms
I work full time through the week and am available during weekends for emergencies or deadlines. My regular hourly rate is $30.00 - 45.00 per hour, USD, but I'm usually flexible and love to help people, so reach out! I'm sure we can work something out somehow.
As far as payment structure goes, on smaller jobs I can do in a few hours or less, I prefer to use SafePay escrow for invoicing and payment upon completion. On larger jobs I prefer to do a small deposit/retainer amount to secure my time, and the remainder of the balance paid upon completion. For long term projects (i.e. projects encompassing one week or longer), milestones with escrow delivery for each milestone is my preferred method.
In any case my main goal is to satisfy my clients and give them what they want and try to do it as cost-effective as possible. If I've learned anything in almost a decade in this business, it's that you need a clients happiness before you need their money, because these people are the ones that generate your business through word of mouth/referrals (not to mention it's my personal goal to help people solve their problems; it literally drives me day-to-day).
