    Dedicated Resource

    I will write software for you, either on a project-bid basis (if the project has been roadmapped, ideally by me), or by counting time. Qualifications include years of experience since 1985, developing...

About

I help companies write better software faster, by advising on processes and tools, roadmapping projects, training developers, and writing software. See website for details.

Professional software developer since 1985, with experience in a wide range of languages, systems, techniques, and domains. Main skills are Elixir, Ruby, SQL, Python, JavaScript, (plain old) C, and Linux/Unix. Much more of a back-end dev than front-end, emphasizing correctness, robustness, and efficiency, rather than making things look pretty. In search of:

- advisory engagements,
- training engagements,
- or part-time remote staff-aug contracts.

Frequent international conference speaker, mainly on topics related to software quality, such as what that even is in the first place, Mutation Testing, and "Ruby Gotchas"; see https://www.Codosaur.us/speaking for details.

Work Terms

Re what I'm likely to find on Guru, I'm looking ideally for about five to twenty hours of work per week, pure remote (barring perhaps occasional site visits), on a 1099 or B2B basis. Will work on Mac, Unix, and derivatives such as Linux, but not Windows. Strongest language is currently Ruby, but looking to break into Elixir. Prices start in the upper $1xx/hour range, with various volume and prepayment discounts (inquire for details).
