No, there's no Upwork for top-tier programmers. Top-tier programmers who engage in consulting have the means to differentiate themselves. Being part of a marketplace like Upwork is great for the marketplace, great for the buyer and not so great for the seller. If you are capable of selling top tier services, you probably don't want to be commoditized by a marketplace that drives prices down.
