Location: South Africa

Remote: exclusively so, unless hiring company is in South Africa

What I deliver: I develop line of business applications for SMEs, using a stack based on either Go+PostgreSQL or Python+MySQL (client chooses), both on Linux only. Windows development costs more.

Depending on complexity, I usually complete straightforward apps in 4-6 weeks and charge ~5000USD once-off although I have done LoB apps for clients who want to pay small amounts monthly instead (SaaS syndrome).

I am able to charge so little due to my proprietary framework that allows rapid enhancements in a semi-low-code manner. My clients all get the full source to the web app with a non-redistribution license so the client is free to extend and enhance the product I deliver with no further involvement on my side.

My entire value proposition is solving business problems both quickly and cost effectively in an easily maintain able manner.

If you need a LoB app quickly and cheaply without compromising quality I can accommodate you.

About me: I have been developing software professionally since the mid-90s, in finance and payments, scientific research, milspec and telecoms industries. I have been in embedded development for most of the past 25 years. I still occasionally do the odd ebpf work for specific clients but prefer to do LoB apps for SMEs due to the faster turnaround time.
