>I’ve always been a good deal better (maybe a couple hundred ELO points) at blitz (3+0 or 5+0) than bullet (1+0).

I believe this is just due to how the ELO system works on sites like lichess and chess.com - you can also see the difference between blitz and rapid, and rapid and classic, and it's the case for EVERY player.

Hi all, I'm currently seeking employment (part time, full time or freelance) in both backend and frontend development. I prefer working with Python and Svelte is my frontend framework of choice, but I'm open to adapt and learn something new. You can find some of my references on upwork: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01e24db2871ba2fec5

I have a few years of professional experience as a Full Stack Web dev and DevOps engineer as well as maintaining WordPress sites for clients in the public sector. My Bachelor's thesis was on using a support vector machine for predicting medical scores based on doctor's notes - that was really fun, and in particular, I would love to work in the health sector again!

For another reference, I built and maintain https://36flats.de - find the source code here: https://codeberg.org/MagnoliaElectricCo/flathunter

Happy to hear from you!
