Body:
I read your frontend dev post on Craigslist and believe I might be a good fit. I'm a freelance full-stack developer with 7 years of experience and am very comfortable on the front-end with everything from basic HTML/CSS, advanced preprocessors such as SASS, build tools such as Gulp and Webpack, and vanilla JavaScript as well as more advanced libraries such as React and Vue. I've also worked with Canvas and ScrollMagic as well. I actually utilized ScrollMagic on my own site (https://larrylaski.com) to animate in different images as the user scrolls down, which I felt looked cool and built up the intro as user's view my site. For utilizing the Canvas API, I've recently 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 printing is one of the more interesting pieces, as I needed to display a dynamic preview of shellfish tags as part of FDA requirements and was able to utilize the canvas API to display a preview of the tag that mirrored with the user would be printing out in there thermal printer. I also built out the rest of the platform as well, with 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. You can also check out a small game I created built in Laravel, Vue.js,
and jQuery UI that involves matching twitter handles to the tweet from
that handle. The game is available to play at twittergame.larrylaski.com and you can view the code at https://github.com/llaski/twittermatchgame.
A
bit more about me - I help founders and visionaries bring their ideas
to market, gain traction, and hit their next milestone, whether it be
fundraising, gaining users, or gaining revenue. I'm able to combine my
web development expertise with my product management and founder
experience to help ensure what we build meets your business goals and
puts you in the possible position to succeed. Communication is often my
top priority, ensuring we are always on the same page and were
both meeting each others needs.
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. Also this would be a remote role for me as I'm based in NYC but don't believe the time difference would be an issue and would be available for calls as necessary. I'm also very comfortable creating products that mirror designs as well as providing feedback to make sure there is consistency within each page/screen, and typically support all modern browsers including IE Edge and IE 11. While I've spent plenty of time on past projects debugging issues with IE, I don't usually recommend supporting older versions since Microsoft announced they would not support any browser older than IE11.
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.

Larry
