I am a software engineer with over 10+ years of experience with technologies such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I am focused on creating robust user-experiences for the web using the latest frontend technologies. I have led teams that saw positive sales impacts. I was working on a large scale consumer-facing sales platform for a previous client that had email communications as part of its requirements. There were several dozen emails that needed to be created and styled for the various user communications. Because emails have to be written and styled out entirely by hand using out of date web development techniques, the team originally estimated the work to create all of the email templates at 3 sprints, or around 6 weeks. I agreed with the team’s estimate but thought there had to be a better way to create these email templates within our tech stack that would be faster and less tedious. We had set aside some time to research a solution and I asked if I could take ownership of this task. I spent a few days researching a couple of tools, some of which were paid services and others free javascript libraries, and tested each tool to see which had the best combination of speed of use and developer ease of use. I compiled a report that documented each tool I tested, its pros and cons, and my personal recommendation. Then I shared that report with the team for feedback. We took a vote on which tool to use. Then in order to learn the new tool, I pair programmed one of the email templates with another developer as a proof of concept and as a way to train the team on how to use the tool. Once we finished the first proof of concept I and my original pair each trained another developer on the team to use the tool by tackling another email template. In the end, we finished all 20+ templates in a single sprint (2 weeks) and had a flexible and responsive tool to work with when the client added more email templates to the project. The project went on to increase sales by 55% within the first 6 months of launch. My coworkers often say that my strengths are the way I combine deep technical knowledge, a growth mindset, and genuine kindness toward my teammates. I am equally at home when I spend my time solving deeply technical problems as I am learning new skills or teaching new skills to my teammates. I work to create an atmosphere of curiosity and support for my teams. These are the kinds of teams that I thrive in so I constantly look for ways to encourage these behaviors on my teams. In my experience, the technology work will take care of itself if the team members are comfortable and happy.
I am an entrepreneur with a passion for software architecture, innovation, and IT management. I excel at staying current with new technologies and leveraging legacy systems to drive business transformation. Proactive problem-solving and independent research are at the core of my approach to decision-making. I am dedicated to adding value to businesses through my work, and I am always thinking about the future of my projects.
Throughout my career I have maintained a deep curiosity, and willingness to learn new skills in order to more efficiently solve problems. With this I've gained much knowledge in PHP, Javascript, HTML/CSS, variety of SQL databases, and many supporting frameworks for both front-end and back-end technologies. As my career has progressed I've taken a deep interest in front-end web design and user experience. Putting practical use of the web development skills I've learned, and a keen interest in Shopify to help push forward ecommerce businesses. In the present my desire is to learn more challenging technology and continue my pursuit of helping ecommerce businesses grow with a refined user experience for their websites, and even crafting amazing internal system for them to use to keep business running smoothly in all departments

How to negotiate Web Development developer hourly rates?
Whether you already have a development team or want to build a new one, hiring a skilled freelance Web Development developer can help accelerate your projects. The key factor when considering a freelance Web Development developer is your budget – how much you have and how much you're willing to invest. The hourly rates of Web Development developers can vary based on their location and your project's scope.
Let's begin with location. Hiring remote developers offers the advantage of choosing from various geographic locations and time zones that align with your project requirements. For instance, if most of your development team is based in North America, you might want to explore freelance Web Development developers in the United States, Canada, or Mexico for better worktime overlap. On the other hand, if you're on a tighter budget, consider working with freelance Web Development developers in South American countries like Argentina, Brazil, or Colombia, or in Asian countries like India, and the Philippines. Hiring freelance developers outside North America often allows for negotiation of lower Web Development developer hourly rates.
Another significant factor influencing the Web Development developer hourly rate is your project's scope. Typically, more complex projects mean higher overall costs. However, if you plan to engage with your freelance developer for an extended period, you can discuss a reduced Web Development developer hourly rate. Providing freelance developers with a consistent flow of projects incentivizes them to lower their hourly rates.
To accurately determine the total cost, have a detailed discussion about your project with your freelance developer. Ensure you convey your ideas comprehensively, which will enable your freelance developer to provide a precise Web Development developer hourly rate estimate. While estimating development timelines can be challenging for lengthy coding projects, offering the developer as much detail as possible will help align the estimate closely with the actual cost.
