I am seeking new challenges as an individual remote contractor, and I look forward to meeting you, terrific client from all around the world and contributing my expertise, passion, affable approach to your projects. My passion lies in building applications, turning business ideas into reality, translating complex requirements into well-designed features and eagerly learning new skills.

Having developed software applications for 7 years, I have grown into a well-rounded full stack developer for both frontend and backend, and have a perfect understanding and practical experience of demanding skills such as Spring Boot, ASP.NET, NestJS, Rust, Angular, NextJS, React, AWS, and their related ecosystems including Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, RDS, Redis, Kafka, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, Protobuf, and Docker.

I have a few large projects that started from a blank page, went through local developing and deploying online, and even maintenance goes well.

Since I started developing on freelancing platforms such as Upwork and worked as a freelancer in several companies, my skill set is relatively broad and not limited to one specific field.

I am looking for individual contract positions that can work up to my full potential and make me a stronger contender.

I could have been able to acquire these skills at an above-average level because I have strong algorithmic thinking ability and advanced knowledge of algorithms and data structures, and I am an eager learner and curious about new technologies.

I feel the worth of my life not only in making the requirements of my customers into reality, but also in realizing the thoughts that come to people's imagination into production.

The common testimonials from my clients are creative, fast response, and eager learner.

My mantra is "quality over quantity," and I always prioritize delivering high-quality work over completing tasks quickly.

Let's create something amazing and stunning together. 

Would it be possible to learn more about each other?

Best regards,

Raheem Blackshear
