Freelance Emacs developer in the United States

Hello, My name is Gabriel Rider, I have over 7 years worth of experience as a Senior Database Developer and Data Engineer. I have also worked for an engineering firm on automation projects. I have worked extensively with Ignition HMI that uses Python as its back end language. Using this platform in conjunction with several different databases, I have created many projects including. * A recipe management system that creates and stores the data for an industrial recipe system and transfers the data to the PLC when needed. * Many applications that integrate MySQL and SQL Server databases and Python to perform industrial applications. * Many one-off scripts for the Ignition HMI platform. At my day job now, I work extensively with SAP and SQL Server development. When SQL Server Procedures are not good enough to use for data wrangling needs, I can also rely on my Emacs Lisp/Macro and Python/Pandas skills to get the job done. I am open to training new students/junior developers the unique ways of working that I have developed for solving problems on these projects.

Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire an Emacs developer, multiple developers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote Emacs developers can help keep your website up-to-date.
