Martijn P.

Vetted Open Source Software developer in the United Kingdom (UTC+1)

I breathe, eat and live software development. I've built software solutions ranging from digital camera movement synchronisation for a TV series production to web applications serving the top tiers of web traffic. Let me find the solution to your problems too. I am also a mentor, I love teaching programming, especially programming with Python. I am ranked #1 on Stack Overflow for answering Python, #9 overall. I love figuring out how someone sees their world, their problems, and then help fill in the gaps. Through mentoring, I accelerate my own constant learning, because there is always something that you want to do better when teaching that knowledge to others! I see programming as art. Code is expression. It needs to have clarity, purpose, elegance and efficiency to communicate well, to execute well. As a result, I produce software of the highest quality, not only functional and tested, but highly readable for future maintainers.

Gustav G.

Vetted Open Source Software developer in the United States (UTC-5)

Strategic and results-driven Product Manager with over 12 years of experience delivering innovative data products and tools that empower users, optimize workflows, and drive engagement. Proven track record in managing open-source projects, AI solutions, and contributor-driven initiatives. Adept at fostering collaboration, creating transparent processes, and aligning product strategies with stakeholder goals. I have created millions of dollars of value for multiple businesses by uncovering opportunities and developing solutions to market, scalability, cost, efficiency, forecasting, and quality challenges. For example: * Cut $100 million in AWS capacity plans out of a $3+ billion capital implementation due to low demand trends for specific products, while meeting 99% of capacity requests during a peak period of growth when EC2 was experiencing 40% annual growth. * Doubled revenues and achieved profitability by growing a sales team focused on a key product line. * Helped surgeons grow capacity and improve the efficiency of a large operating room group by showing them how often surgeries for each surgical team started on time and the reasons for delays. * Set quality benchmarks for cardiac surgeons by leveraging quality data from dozens of cardiac surgery hospitals, identifying top and bottom performer

Hugh G.

Vetted Open Source Software developer in the United States (UTC-5)

Hi, my name’s Hugh Guiney (🗣 GUY-knee). I’m a UX Developer, which means I design and code thoughtful digital products. I’ve worked with organizations of all sizes, from startups to SMBs to household names. In my spare time I build open-source software, play fighting games, and perform improv comedy. ## Companies I’ve worked with 🏃‍♂️ Runkeeper 💚 Oxfam 🦁 Publicis Sapient 🏦 Citizens Bank 🎮 WB Games 👟 Reebok 📰 The Boston Globe 🏙 The City of Boston ## Services ### Development - HTML5, CSS3, & JavaScript (ES6+) - React— incl. Redux, Context, & Hooks - Node.js - Gatsby - WordPress - Shopify - SEO¹ & Performance ### Design - UI/UX (Look & Feel) - Information Architecture - Components & Design Systems - Usability/Accessibility - Copyediting - Logos & Brand Identity - Responsive Design ## The hughx Advantage: ### 🐖 Economical. With traditional app development, there are two main phases: design and development. First, the designer creates mockups—a series of pictures of what the app will look like. Then the developer translates those pictures into actual code. This duplicates the work of the designer, costing you time and money. Often the designer lacks technical knowledge. At best, this makes the developer’s job harder. At worst this means design revisions. Either way it means more time and more money. There’s a better way. As a hybrid designer–developer, I don’t do mockups—only functional prototypes. That way you can feel what the product will be like, rather than just imagine it. And with fewer cooks in the kitchen, you get to launch and iterate faster. ### ♿️ Empathetic. 50% of the world’s population isn’t online yet¹, but they soon will be. As this happens, they will largely arrive by way of mobile, not desktop. And not on the iPhone 11, either—more like the iPhone from 2011. This means sites and apps designed for Westerners with the latest tech will break for the rest of the world. I believe the Internet should be for everyone. I keep accessibility, performance, and user friendliness top-of-mind at every stage of development. This helps your product reach the broadest possible audience. It’s not just good karma, it’s good business. ### 🏛 Engineered. Just because you’re moving fast doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice quality. Today’s MVP is tomorrow’s legacy codebase. Left unpaid, technical debt manifests as bottlenecks. New features start to break old ones. The app slows to a crawl, increasing bounce rate and costing you sales. Current employees get pulled away from product work to help onboard new employees. Contracting with hughx is an insurance policy against code rot. Modular functions, unit tests, and detailed documentation all come standard. If your customers don’t thank you, your dev team will. ¹ Best practices only.
