I spend a lot of my free time on Open Source software. If my software is in your stack, helping you run your business, this is one way to give back.

I'm also available for freelance work. I particularly enjoy:

  • Writing web scrapers in Go, Playwright and Perl
  • Improving code quality with linters and tidiers
  • Setting up GitHub Actions
  • Performing code reviews
  • Dockerizing applications
  • Pair programming

In addition to this, I'm quite happy to:

  • Modernize old Perl applications
  • Convert WordPress sites to Hugo
  • Build full stack web applications from the ground up
  • Build API integrations

These lists are not exhaustive. Please feel free to get in touch about anything you don't see noted above: [email protected]
