  7. SEEKING WORK – London (or remote) I'm a backend-focused full-stack developer, best suited to PHP/Python/Javascript but experienced in many non-Microsoft languages.

I like to help shape a product and company direction as well as build it, so I'm ideal if you want a collaborator as well as a coder. You can check out some previous…
