SEEKING WORK - Remote - A Designer Who Can Code I love solving complex problems and have 14 years of experience in Fin-Tech, Journalism, TV and Media, Health, Science, and more. I've taken countless projects from 0 to 1 working with clients like JPMorgan Chase, Santander Bank, Rob Walling, Trello, Peter Diamandis, Syncthing, SimplyCredit and others. I'm experienced in Vue.js, Django, Phoenix framework, Quasar, just to name a few. I pick up new tech easily and like working on complex products. I can help you with: - Product Design: I help identify and solve the real problems your users face. Whether you're struggling with low engagement, confusing user flows, or a product that doesn't quite meet market needs, I dig deep into user pain points to design solutions that actually work. From ground-up product strategy to fixing specific friction points that are hurting your metrics. - Front-end Development: I can turn the design into a pixel perfect product. Being able to design and develop allows me to move at speeds otherwise impossible by cutting a lot of the steps otherwise needed. I take my work very seriously and put a lot of work into excellent communication, proper planning, and last but not least, properly understanding your product so that we can produce great results.

I have more than 12 YoE on all kinds of web apps as well as mobile and server environments. I love backend and APIs, but I have a passion for pixel-perfect UIs and frontend magic.

My prior career in journalism made me a great communicator and writer. I also enjoy devops and managing servers using Linux, Docker and Kubernetes. I have built many apps on AWS and Google Cloud, including using Terraform for infra and Github Actions for CI/CD. Right now, I have a side hustle bootstrapping Hot Page (https://hot.page) and releasing native HTML web components as part of my open source project HotFX (https://fx.hot.page).
