I'm a freelance software developer and engineer – available for contract work in Melbourne, Gippsland and remotely across Australia. I've been building web and mobile software for over 20 years, and running my own independent practice since 2012, completing projects across a wide range of industries – energy, transport, digital design, retail and more.
I've experienced all aspects of the software development lifecycle, from gathering requirements, analysis and design – through to building, testing, deploying and supporting software systems. I have the experience to help make your next software project a successful one.
There are some significant advantages in hiring a freelance programmer for your next project:
Freelancers are a great way to get an additional resource for a particular project, without the on-going costs of full-time employees. When the project is over, or you need to scale back on resources, you're not required to keep paying us – we only get paid when we're working for you.
Hiring full-time employees is expensive! You have to pay superannuation, payroll tax, annual & sick leave entitlements. It's a massive commitment.
As a freelancer, you'll simply pay my rate during the times I'm working for you – this gives you a lot of flexibility in how you can resource your projects.
I provide my own equipment and tools (computer, software, etc) – you don't need to purchase these for me – this saves you a lot of money, as these can often be quite expensive.
Contractors are often flexible about what hours they work. I can do an urgent job for you at short notice, or I can change my working hours to suit your project (for example, if you were located in a different timezone).
We are also very accountable with our time – I log all of my time in a timesheet which I make available for my clients to view online. You will know exactly what I'm working on and where your money is being invested.
Freelancers are hard-working, professional people. Many of us have a great deal of experience that could be invaluable in making your next project a success.
