I am now a freelancer, and a bootstrapper
Now. Now is the time. September 16th will be my last day at Rainforest QA. I decided to leave and start doing freelancing while bootstrapping Metrics Watch.
Hire me
This means you can hire me. I am building web apps (internal apps or SaaS). I also have experience in infrastructure work and automating stuff and that’s also something I would be interested in doing. I have a ton of experience building web apps with Ruby on Rails, I have very good JavaScript and CoffeeScript chops, I would love to do more Go and maybe even some Node! I am totally open to jump on the frontend with React (which I touched a bit at Rainforest QA) or some frameworks. I did quite my share of PHP back in the days, so I could do that, too. I also did a couple of iPhone apps and multiple windows apps.
Why now?
Why now? Things are going very very very well at Rainforest, why leave now? I’ve always wanted to do that, and I feel like it’s the right time for me to do it, now!
“The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.” - someone (but my friend @jmlacroix served it to me one day).
Thanks Rainforest QA, Russ, Fred and the team, for the best ride ever!
