Hi, my name is Jay and I’m currently located in Oklahoma (CST/GMT-6).

PORTFOLIO

With a degree in accounting and roughly a decade of full-time experience managing businesses ranging from startups to publicly traded corporations, not only do I come with a better understanding of your product needs outside of just the code, but I can help you plan your project in a way that makes sense for you or your business, including:

  • Tech/idea feasibility and advice
  • Time/cost/benefit analysis regarding different approaches
  • Product release stages and planning (including which might be necessary)
    • MVP (minimum viable product/proof of concept)
    • beta
    • alpha
    • full release
  • All initial discussion and advice comes free of charge. Not a penny is accrued until a contract is signed.

Skills and Experience

I have been programming for 9 years, freelancing for 8, and working full-time as a Software Engineer for 6. All skills listed come from successful professional experience and represent technologies I’m fully comfortable building from scratch and deploying (in no particular order).

  • Frameworks

  • Languages

    • Typescript
    • Javascript
    • Swift
    • C#
    • C++
    • VBA/VBScript
    • PHP
    • Python

  • Database Technologies

    • SQL
    • MongoDB/NoSql
    • GraphQL
    • Third party solutions like FireBase and AWS

  • Previous Project Examples

    • iOS/Swift security framework
    • Product/venue revue and rating app/website
    • Movie scene location finder and shot replicator camera image overlay
    • Job tracking and inventory management app/website for moving companies with QR generation, printing, and scanning for boxes
    • Native iOS and Android buy/sell app for luxury watches
    • Social media apps with posts, comments, likes, friends, follows, #hashtags, @user tags, and live chat
    • Native iOS chatroulette/omegle clone
    • Farm harvest tracker with CSV exports
    • Pharmacy price tracker with chat between pharmacists and customers

Work and Availability

I can work with any time zone (located in US Central) and offer both hourly rate contracts and fixed-quote contracts.

  • How hourly contracts work $60 USD
    • Higher hourly rates come with higher familiarity of the project technology
    • Fairly simple contract outlining app concept and hourly rate
    • Product and codebase are available to you throughout the project
    • Invoices are sent on a regular schedule
      • Time is tracked online and a detailed report is sent with each invoice
  • How fixed/quote-based contracts work
    • More initial conversation/planning required in order to:
      • compile a quote price
      • outline in-depth list of deliverable features on the contract
    • Material scope/feature changes will require contract amendments
    • 3 payments due at start, midpoint/MVP, and completion
      • Product available for testing at milestones, code made available after final payment
  • If you have a hard set budget…
    • …and are comfortable disclosing it, I can work with you on outlining a version of your product that can be properly built within that budget, even if that includes helping you find other vendors more suited for your price range.
