  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • joystick

    A full-stack JavaScript framework for building stable, easy-to-maintain apps and websites.

    SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract, Remote, Tennessee, U.S. (Central Time)

    I'm a full-stack JavaScript developer and UI designer. I run https://cheatcode.co, working primarily with my own framework, Joystick (https://github.com/cheatcode/joystick), as well as React.js, GraphQL, and Node.js.

    Looking for 3-6 month freelance and contract opportunities (longer if the timing makes sense). Best suited for working with small teams—startups/standalone or embedded in bigger co's—and individuals looking to ship:

    - Full-stack web apps (internal or customer-facing).

    - UI implementation (HTML, CSS, any JS framework)

    - Command line tools

    - REST APIs (private and public) -- can do GraphQL APIs on request

    - Technical documentation

    - Infrastructure/deployment setup (Bare metal, Docker/k8s, Lambda)

    My working style:

    - Communication-heavy. I prefer clients/projects that don't shy away from investing in getting everything on the table up front and keeping communication tight throughout a project. 1-on-1 preferred for clarity/avoiding miscommunication.

    - Detail-oriented. If it needs to be done well, I'm your guy.

    - Design-focused. I put an emphasis on UX (or DX if the project is for devs) and ensuring that what gets shipped is most likely to generate a ROI for you. I'm not your guy if you want a fast-and-cheap result (https://youtu.be/eAo8gnUCWzE?t=20).

  • couchdb-auth-for-ring

    Easily use CouchDB's security model and _users database in your Ring app.

    SEEKING WORK | Madison, WI | REMOTE or LOCAL

    I'm a product lead who specializes in Clojure/Script development. I quickly and independently develop quality software that will meet your business needs.

    Recent work:

    - Built the front-end for https://app.composer.trade, a systematic trading app. Took the company from designs all the way through launch. (Tech: Clojure/Script, Firebase)

    - Created a fuzz-testing tool that takes in a language grammar (EBNF) and uses that to generate syntactically correct random text in that language. During text generation it can also take in external information (such as table and column metadata for use in generated SQL queries) to create random text that is contextually correct as well. Currently used for testing SQL databases.

    - Built https://familymemorystream.com, a video-hosting and sharing site for family videos. (Tech: Reagent, Clojure/Script, S3, CouchDB, Stripe)

    - Created the https://github.com/deckeraa/couchdb-auth-for-ring/ open-source library that enables you to use CouchDB as an authentication back-end for Ring apps.

    - Led a team of ~17 software developers for the business intelligence module of a large healthcare IT company.

    Buzzwords: Clojure, Clojurescript, Javascript, C#, Java, MUMPS, Bash, SQL, CouchDB, GraphQL, S3, Python, Firebase, Cloud Firestore, TailwindCSS
