Look, I am a very experienced Developer of nearly 20 years. I have worked on countless projects as both a Front End Developer and Backend (and UI designer in the past).

I have worked with many startups, long-standing corporations, governments, many name brands (in which I'm sure you've even interacted with my work multiple times and wouldn't know it), and have had my own businesses in this field. I have single handily built applications seen by millions of public users and I would absolutely bet you are one of them.

I began freelancing in high-school in the late 90s. I didn't learn development from a bootcamp, I was obsessed at an early age and understood the fundamentals of JavaScript well before front-end frameworks were a thing yet my experience with React, Vue, SolidJS, and many others has been the forefront of my work for the past 13 years or so (not SolidJS obviously).

I know this market isn't great on both sides, and you could absolutely hire someone outside the US for cheaper (my rate is 65/hr negotiable btw), but you would definitely not get the same experience or outcome for your project.

I am also available for local hybrid (Atlanta, GA), part-time, full-time, remote etc. and am I am absolutely devoted to the work that I do.

My personal hobbies include upgrading and maintaining my on-premise k8s cluster (reddit post of the first iteration: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/1li74m2/first_home...) comprised of many various Single Board Computers with different archetectures to self host my entire digital life for security and privacy, as well as teaching a small class about the fundamentals of electronics. My talent however lies strongly on the front end but my curiosity is in linux, open source, security, and so on.

I started designing and developing websites way back in 1997 on a Sega Saturn Netlink. Without a keyboard in hand, I hand-wrote my table based HTML markup in old notebooks to transcribe into CGI web editors utilizing an on-screen keyboard and controller, and of course, all while collaborating over IRC.

I have since worked on countless projects from interesting startups in various spaces, to enterprise level applications, government funded incentivized data applications, as well as multiple personal and collaborative projects. You have most likely seen some of my work on the market for large brand name designs, applications, and products.

Hi, my name is Alex and I am a "full stack web software engineer with a front end focus," a proponent of the small web, and a retro hardware enthusiast.

I started designing and developing websites way back in 1997 on a Sega Saturn Netlink. Without a keyboard in hand, I hand-wrote my table based HTML markup in old notebooks to transcribe into CGI web editors utilizing an on-screen keyboard and controller, and of course, all while collaborating over IRC.

Luckily, times have changed and I now own both multiple PC's and keyboards. I have since worked on countless projects from interesting startups in various spaces, to enterprise level applications, goverment funded incentivized data applications, as well as multiple personal and collaborative projects. I also founded Elemeno, a collective of talent functioning as a digital agency. You have most likely even seen some of my design work for large brand-names in the market.
