Freelance OCR Developer

Software developer with both corporate and freelancing experience. I have worked with various stacks and languages, including JAVA, Javascript/Typescript, Python, C, and PHP, and their ecosystem (JPA for Java, Android, Maven, Nodejs...). My main asset is my ability to translate all languages into one formal presentation (after all they all inherit from the Turing machine), this allows me to adapt in no time to new specifications. My polyvalent experience involves databases administration (relational and no-SQL), devops (virtualization, Linux shell, networking...), software engineering (design, debugging, documentation...), and also data science experience (data clustering/classification, machine learning, data analysis). I contributed to the development of the subweb-based linked data query language at the AI Lab; the language has been shown to outperform the existing LDQL language in terms of distributed query formulation. At Pixalione, I delivered the code for a complete workflow of data extraction and cleaning to bootstrap the learning task of the company; this resulted in more than 15% of improvement of the data prediction model of the company. I delivered a full system for project management for KAHRAKIB company, I was responsible for translating the customer's specifications into technical goals. I also worked with task automation, I realized fully automated applications for appointment booking for BLS and VFS.

FAQs

Why hire an OCR 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 an OCR 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 OCR developers can help keep your website up-to-date.

How do I hire OCR developers?

To hire an OCR 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 OCR developers?

There are two types of platforms you can hire OCR programmers from: general and niche marketplaces. General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find OCR 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 OCR developers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their OCR developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote OCR developer candidates.

Some factors to consider when you hire OCR 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.

Make sure to list out all of the important factors when you compare and decide on which remote developer job board and platform to use to find OCR developers for hire.

How do I write an OCR developer job description?

Writing a good OCR developer job description is crucial in helping you hire OCR programmers that your company needs. A job description’s key elements include a clear job title, a brief company overview, a summary of the role, the required duties and responsibilities, and necessary and preferred experience. 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 OCR 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.
