Brice - Remote full-stack developer

Brice

Based in: 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Timezone: London (UTC+1)

Summary

I have a broad expertise in software development, from embedded programming, to full stack Javascript web applications. I have built several products from scratch as a team lead and startup founder. This includes realtime components and web applications.

I have a strong knowledge of functional programming, and Lisp-family languages, with an appreciation for functional design of applications.

I founded and organise a Programmer's Study group, and we have studied Machine Learning in the past, and I would be comfortable teaching the principles of Machine Learning. I have taught game development programming (including for university accreditation) through online courses, and am very comfortable with the Unity engine, I can help complete beginners get started, review intermediate programmer's code and project, or contribute to a professional effort with Unity and C# (and other languages on the same platform).

My background includes teaching programming online and mentoring both in-person and online.

I'd love to hear about what you need help with, so don't hesitate to get in touch.

I'm in the GMT timezone, but can arrange to speak to you no matter where you are.
