SEEKING WORK | SF Bay Area, CA, US | Remote US
Current tech: Python, JS, Bootstrap, SQL/DB. Past tech: K8s/Helm, Clojure, Java/Maven, JSF, PHP.
I'm a long time freelancer who's taken full time gigs in Big Tech / SV and pretty much settled on freelancing now. I can offer $15/hr for at least the first 90 days with a 30 day rate change notice period.
I feel offering a minimal intro rate helps us learn how we work together in a risk free way and lets clients explore where I can help them unlock value. Ideally I'd like to mentor people to take over manual work at that rate as I automate and do higher impact work at a rate that reflects the value, closer to industry standard.
This seems unconventional but it reflects how in kitchens I can evolve from dish washer to helping with food prep and beyond, as the chef sees fit.
I thrive in R&D roles but can also do DevOps and put out production fires. I've been in the industry for my whole adult life and I don't think I've become entitled/unhumble and rigid as people sometimes imagine older devs. Well worth the $15/hr, not upset to be fired or afraid to fire if it's not working out.
