Hey Gabriel,
I saw your post on Twitter for a Freelance Web Developer and am interested in finding out more. I'm a full-stack freelance web developer with 7 years of experience, and my primary stack is PHP (usually Laravel), MySQL, a minimal or utility CSS framework (Bulma or Tailwind), and then adding in JS as needed (worked with just vanilla JS or Vue, and for large frontend projects usually go for React). Also usually handle the server needs for most of my clients as well.
Most recently I've been working on a web platform for a company called The Oyster Common designed to improve and streamline the business tools of oyster farmers. The platform includes features like inventory management, a custom e-commerce setup, custom branding, and thermal tag printing. The main tech stack utilizes Laravel, vanilla JavaScript with a sprinkle of React for complex forms, and AWS & Digital Ocean with Ansible on the infrastructure side. The most challenging part of the platform so far has been configuring and integrating a thermal printer with the site, which will drastically improve the process for oyster farmers as many of them are unable to connect orders and tags together, and some still even write out these tags by hand. You can check out the site at https://oystercommon.com.
I've also launched several complex MVP's for small startups and enterprise clients which have helped them achieve their goals such as bringing on seed money and growing an active user base to bring in revenue. My clients include The Oyster Common, Strong Analytics, Eat In Chef & Bond. I've also been brought on to improve and maintain existing projects as well, most notably with JPD Studio & Play Nice Together. You can check out more of my work at https://larrylaski.com.
Just to make sure I don't waste your time, I typically work on a flat project rate with a minimum of $5k, and most projects in the range of $10k - $20k. If the scope is undefined or the project is open-ended, I'm open to a weekly rate as well.
The next step would be a 15 - 30 minute call to chat about project details and see if we would be a good fit. You can schedule a call with me at https://calendly.com/larry-laski/30-minute-meeting.
Regards,
Larry
