I find myself in the unfortunate position of needing to find a contract (outside IR35 and remote) rather quickly - the client I was working with is having funding delays so we’ve paused for now. I’ve been working with Python and MicroPython with RP2040 based Microcontrollers (also looked at Teensy with circuit Python), Typescript, OpenOCD/GDB, bit of C, and circuit/PCB design. I can also program in Go, Ruby, JavaScript (NodeJS), shell, C/C++, Java, and trying to learn Rust also. Generally I just like to find out how stuff works, write clean code with lots of unit tests, and fix bugs and generally get stuff working Am UK based but happy to time shift or overlap for meetings with any country (my client/teammates were in NZ) #FediHire #Remote #RemoteWork #golang #Python
