Hire senior freelance developers in Tampa Bay

Software engineer with 8 years of experience across QA, full-stack development, and mentorship. Comfortable picking up unfamiliar technologies quickly and delivering production-ready code in whatever stack the project demands. Practices TDD religiously, takes ownership of bugs, and ships polished features (not just “done”). Mentored apprentices into client-ready software craftsmen. Actively builds side projects, contributes to open source, and invests personal time and money into professional growth.

I didn't start my career staring at a terminal — I started with a sketchbook. After studying illustration and industrial design at Kendall College of Art and Design and Ringling College, I found myself drawn less to the canvas and more to the craft of how things are built. The same instinct that made me obsess over composition, proportion, and user experience in art turned out to translate perfectly to frontend engineering. Code, it turns out, is just another medium — and I've been pushing its limits ever since. Over the last decade-plus I've grown from building responsive marketing sites into leading large-scale platform engineering at Deloitte, where I work at the intersection of frontend architecture, delivery operations, and AI-assisted tooling. I've shipped enterprise React applications, designed automation pipelines that replaced hours of manual work with a single command, and turned chaotic multi-repo environments into well-documented, auditable systems that teams can actually trust. Some recent highlights: 🚀 Led cps-process-automation, an end-to-end workflow automation initiative that reduced manual processing, improved SLA adherence, and gave stakeholders real-time visibility into operational runs 🔧 Drove 30+ repository modernization across Project Omnia — coordinating dependency upgrades, PR waves, and release execution in Azure DevOps with zero dropped balls 🤖 Built AI-driven automation tools that streamlined CI/CD, PR validation, and testing workflows — shipping faster without sacrificing quality 📚 Converted tribal knowledge into reusable SOPs and operational playbooks that improved onboarding, reduced execution variance, and made audit season a lot less painful Where I can help where others can't? I'm the rare engineer who thinks like a designer, documents like a tech writer, and automates like someone who really hates doing the same thing twice. I bridge the gap between technical execution and human workflows — whether that means partnering with designers in Figma, translating ambiguous business requirements into production-ready systems, or just making sure the team actually understands what shipped and why. If you need someone who can own a project from whiteboard to production and leave the codebase better than they found it — let's talk.

I started out as a database developer, and was keen to extend my skills by learning full stack development. I specialize in developing data-driven dashboards that make decision-making easy, and helping processes run more smoothly. One project I'm working on recently involves summarizing podcasts and sending a daily email to users with an overview of the content. Outside of work, I enjoy everything outdoors, bouldering, and connecting with my community.

I help Directors, Senior Managers, and Team Leaders guide their teams to deliver up to 10x more features with the Deep Dev Ascension Loop™. In middle school, I wandered into the local Radio Shack and discovered they started selling real computers a regular person can own. For some odd reason, they tolerated me coming in nearly every day and learning to program that machine in BASIC, and then assembly language. I bring practices and standards from engineering fields such as mechanical, industrial, structural, etc.; with the objective to elevate software development to a true engineering discipline. If you believe professionalism is overdue in the software industry, you are welcome to join me.

I’m a front-end developer with a love for crafting clean UIs with maintainable code to match. My strengths are in the front of the front of development: making sure UIs sparkle. I really enjoy working with and coaching my team on integrating design systems in order to maintain visual consistency throughout the product. Also I'm a huge lover and enthusiast of AI! Have been working remote a long time; looking to get back to my roots and connect with other creatives and find opportunities in the Tampa Bay area.

Ex-NASA AWS Cloud DevOps Engineer and architect searching for a new role in the Tampa area

I've been in technology since 1996, starting with building and selling PCs and working my way through every layer of the stack. For the last 7+ years I've focused on DevOps, platform engineering, and infrastructure automation. Most recently I spent 4.5 years as the sole infrastructure engineer at a banking SaaS company, where I owned the full stack for 87 customers and $5M in annual revenue. The work I'm most proud of from that role: I built a Datadog observability stack from scratch where no application visibility existed before, automated customer onboarding from an 8-hour manual process down to under an hour, and led the migration from on-premises hosting to AWS that supported 117% customer growth without adding infrastructure headcount. I also held a VP of Engineering title at the prior company, so I'm comfortable leading teams as well as building systems. My core stack is AWS, Kubernetes, CloudFormation, Docker, GitHub Actions, and Datadog. I've done cloud migrations, cost optimization (50% infrastructure reduction), CI/CD pipeline design, database administration, security compliance (SOC 2, pen test remediation), and operational documentation at scale. I'm looking for senior DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure roles - remote or Tampa Bay hybrid. I'm drawn to teams where infrastructure ownership is real, not bureaucratic, and where the engineer closest to the problem has the authority to fix it. I bring 25+ years of doing exactly that.

I started my career as a software engineering intern at Jacobs Engineering Group supporting NASA projects, where I built automation tools and got my first taste of what it means to write code that actually matters. That early experience set the tone for how I approach development: build things that work reliably, automate what can be automated, and always think about the person on the other end. Since then I've worked across the full stack — from writing QA automation suites in Python at a healthcare organization to shipping production web apps with payment integrations, real-time dashboards, and cloud infrastructure at my current role. I've managed AWS deployments, built CI/CD pipelines, consolidated messy internal tooling into clean unified systems, and migrated large datasets without breaking anything in production. Beyond my day-to-day work, my deepest passion is applying machine learning to medical problems. I believe we're at an inflection point where AI has the genuine potential to save lives — catching what clinicians might miss, speeding up diagnoses, and making expert-level analysis accessible everywhere. I've been pursuing this hands-on, most recently building a 3D U-Net deep learning model to detect intracranial aneurysms in brain CT scans as part of the RSNA 2024 Kaggle competition. It's the kind of problem I want to keep solving — where getting it right isn't just good engineering, it actually matters to real patients. I'm a CS grad from UCF, based in Tampa, and always looking for problems worth solving.

I bring over a decade of professional software development experience and an obsession with world-class user experience. Most recently, I worked as a lead engineer in the fintech space where I was responsible for standing up and maintaining the entire frontend architecture from scratch. This included, among many things, a component library that was deployed alongside a number of projects within a monorepo. Previously, at Ro, I led frontend development within a cross-functional team, driving decisions around product and engineering practices. I led the development of a complicated diagnostics platform buildout where I was responsible for driving the engineering efforts across multiple teams and departments. I have a lot of experience in a number of different industries and verticals — from digital agencies and e-commerce, to developer tooling and healthcare. Not only am I technical but I can communicate effectively inside and outside of the engineering organization to get things done.
