heratyian··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (November 2022)
SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract - Remote/Chicago, IL

I am a full stack web developer. I can handle end-to-end web development from concept to production.

I really enjoy using Ruby on Rails, React, and Typescript. I've also worked with a variety of technologies including Python, .NET C#, and iOS swift. I have deep experience with stripe payment integrations (and stripe connect, their marketplace product). I can also help get to the first page of google search results.

A couple of projects I've built recently: - https://popping.live - https://biggreen.company
