Freelance Shell Developer

I am an IT professional in for 7 years, with love for teaching. I prefer to know the knowledge basis of my students first and then chalk out a custom road map of teaching them the required skill or in my case Python programming language. As per my experience, I have teaching my friends from a young age informally. Currently I am a senior developer and also have a 3 years experience in teaching online and have taught my peers and colleagues in my previous organisation as well. I love teaching from scratch. Python is not the only programming language I dabble in though. I also know Unix Shell scripting. My industrial expertise is in various automation like Data Warehousong, Migration, mediation, manipulation, ETL Processes, monitoring scripts. I have also worked on creating hybrid scripts which utilises Python and Unix Shell Scripts together. I also have limited knowledge in SQL and NoSQL Databases. I will teach a concept repeatedly until all of my students have understood the topic, and love to take doubt sessions especially for previous class before starting a new concept in the class.

I am also a mentor, I love teaching programming, especially programming with Python. 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.

FAQs

Why hire a Shell 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 Shell 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 Shell developers can help keep your website up-to-date.

Where do I hire the best remote Shell developers?

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 Shell 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.
