Freelance developer based in Brighton in the UK. I work a lot with Python (often with Django) and JavaScript (Node.JS and browser) to build rich client browser based and mobile apps. I also do hardware based projects, I have experience with coding in Assembly and C on various micro controllers and Arduino development.
I am flexible, resourceful and reliable and I can help you turn your ideas into reality. I can build prototypes or full apps on my own but also happy to work as part of a team (and I have a bunch of great people I work with if you need help putting together one)
A very non-exhaustive list of technologies I have built real things with (and enjoyed): Python, JavaScript, Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS, AngularJS, OpenCV.
Some recent projects:
- The software and technical design for a "magic mirror" that was used at London Fashion Week. Behind the scenes it was built with 15 network Raspberry Pis with camera modules. http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/tag/london-fashion-week
- An iPad app for a medical company for quick lookup of drug interactions. This was built with HTML5 and made use of Angular.JS. I can show you more of this one on request.
- A web app for a training company to provide complete courses online combing video, slides and quiz's.
- Lead developer on a team building a collaboration application featuring a RESTful API and browser and mobile clients. See http://thisisdrum.com and see also a talk I gave on some of the tech[1]
- Head pose estimation from a video feed for a interactive store-window display (it superimposed masks over the faces of customers as they looked through the window)
