Bio

Semi-retired software development consultant and hobbyist mead-maker, available for: ✔️ Advising on your software development processes, tools, techniques, etc. ✔️ Roadmapping your development projects or features. (After that I *may* bid on the implementation, or not.) ✔️ Teaching developers to write high-quality software, including what that even means in the first place, plus various practices conducive to quality, such as mutation testing, property-based testing, TDD/BDD, etc. ✔️ Other ways to improve your, or your team's, software quality. Got ideas? Let's talk. ✔️ Part-time remote software development contracts. (B2B or 1099 only, no W2. Ideally up to about 20 hours/week, ~95+% remote, on Elixir, Python, Ruby, or C code. Many other languages; inquire for details.) ✔️ Speaking at conferences or to companies, mainly on ways to improve software quality. (Next up: Frontrunners, PyCon US, and J on the Beach.) See https://www.Codosaur.us/speaking for more details. ✔️ Teaching people (or groups) how to make mead. ❌ Not open to just implementing your project, unless you already have had it roadmapped. (Preferably by me, but open to others.) ❌ ABSOLUTELY NO: ❌ RELOCATION (see Footnote), ❌ ''PERMANENT'' POSITIONS, ❌ FULL-TIME WORK (over 30 hours/week), ❌ ON-SITE WORK (see Footnote), ❌ ''CLEARED'' WORK, ❌ ADMIN WORK, OR ❌ SWITCHING INTO A NON-TECH CAREER! If you contact me about such work, or anything else obviously literally categorically inappropriate, you will probably be reported (and maybe called out publicly) as a spammer, and blocked. Footnote: Occasional light travel is OK, but travel time and expenses must be paid for. See https://www.Codosaur.us and https://www.SumOfABatch.com for further details. Lastly, I will gladly connect with any fellow devs, Mensans, or mazers; just make sure that link is obvious. Other strangers, especially in certain very spammy occupations, will have to convince me -- and failures may be reported as spam. (Headshot: speaking at JSConf Hawai'i 2020. Background: speaking at DevConf.pl 2018.)
