I lost my job last month and I have a loan to pay. I am giving interviews but luck seems to be not in my favour. I am seeking a freelance work if anyone here has a small project to outsource. I would be thankful.
Updated past work. See in comment.
Alternatively/additionally maybe you could pitch niche projects you think you would be great at because of past experience (update code to new versions/libs, add a contact form to existing homepages, move things to cheaper hosting, integrate an internal system with someone's existing crm, automate marketing emails based on customer activity, etc).
Outsourcing is risky - help derisk it for potential customers by making them feel like you can deliver, you're trustworthy, you're competent, and you understand their needs.
I believe in you and I hope you get so much contract work you never have to get another fulltime job.
Here’s the project I have worked on (full-time):
1. Steelonclick (www.steelonclick.in) (a website that sells construction related steel products online. Backend on Core PHP.)
2. HireACamp (www.hireacamp.com) (developed backed on Node/Express JS) (platform to book camps in India)
3. ShakyaCreations (www.shakyacreations.com) (wordpress/woocommerce - client started selling bangles in just 20 minutes)
4. DPMPAY (www.dpmpay.in) (school management software written in CodeIgniter 3)
These are projects that I worked full time in 7 years.
2. Worked with DPMPay in customizing school fees according to each school's requirements without the need for developer intervention. Previously, developers were required to make such changes.
3. Rewrote HireACamp's backend from scratch using Express JS. This overhaul facilitated quick bookings during peak seasons such as Christmas, New Year celebrations, and summer vacations. Furthermore, it introduced a load balancer architecture through AWS. Previously, their core PHP backend would become unresponsive when tested by more than 5000 users. The new backend and load balancer architecture efficiently enabled horizontal scaling.
