Freelance HLSL developer in Italy

I am a self-taught learner with a diverse skill set in software engineering, including experience in developing apps, websites, and work management software. I have strong leadership experience and a passion for technology and research. Throughout my career, I have consistently sought opportunities to tackle complex challenges and learn new technologies. I thrive in fast-paced environments where collaboration and rapid iteration are key. For example, I recently built an entire architecture for a startup project after diving into a few online courses. This project involved developing a Swift application leveraging iPhone’s LiDAR technology to gather measurements for accessibility data, which was then visualized in a web-based back-office using Three.js. I also designed a social app featuring adaptive bitrate video streaming, live streaming, and a secure payment system, all while ensuring scalability and smooth user experience. These experiences have taught me how to take ownership, learn quickly, and turn ambitious ideas into reality. I am open to new opportunities of growing inside a fast and stimulating environment where can i offer my knowledge and help the team/company run faster. I am on climate change and passionate about new technologies, robotics, and exploring how the agi is slowing (or not so slowly) being created :)

FAQs

Why hire a HLSL developer?

In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.

Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire a HLSL 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 HLSL developers can help keep your website up-to-date.

How do I hire HLSL developers?

To hire a HLSL developer, you need to go through a hiring process of defining your needs, posting a job description, screening resumes, conducting interviews, testing candidates’ skills, checking references, and making an offer.

Where do I hire the best remote HLSL developers?

While you can find HLSL developers on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces in order to escape bidding wars.

If you’re looking to hire the best remote HLSL developers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their HLSL developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote HLSL developer candidates.

Some factors to consider when you hire HLSL developers include the platform’s specialty, developer’s geographical location, and the service’s customer support. Depending on your hiring budget, you may also want to compare the pricing and fee structure.

To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.

Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.

Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote HLSL developer should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
