While a good developer in the US typically earns around $120k, my track record — including experience as a highly skilled migrant in the Netherlands — proves that I deliver exceptional value (you can learn more on my profile page).
Having this said — my target is just around
$80 000
Let's be upfront: I'm passionate about building impactful software, and I value my contributions.
I've structured my life to keep costs low, which allows me to offer highly competitive rates without compromising on quality.
This starts from $40/hour, but for that price, you're essentially getting a one-man army capable of handling everything from front-end to back-end and beyond. I'm very negotiable, especially in my current situation, so get in touch before someone else does! ;D

Let's address the logistics: I operate through an international legal entity, "Pink Haired LLC" (SVG), ensuring no international sanctions or blacklist issues.
My EMI provides IBAN support for smooth, secure financial transactions.
With extensive international experience (US, Netherlands, Indonesia), I'm flexible and can adjust my schedule for seamless collaboration.
We'll use a straightforward B2B agreement (e.g., independent contractor), simplifying things, minimizing your overhead, and placing all risks on me. You'll have the flexibility to terminate if needed – it's a transparent, pay-for-performance arrangement.
My tech setup:
Copilot+ AI laptop, Android phone, JetBrains IDEs, and Visual Studio Community for C#.
I leverage AI (Aider with Claude 3.7 Sonnet) to boost productivity.
Software development is evolving rapidly. I embrace AI as a tool for productivity, not replacement. While AI can't write high-quality, complex code for web development yet, it still has immense potential.
I stay updated with AI updates, LLMs like Claude 3.5 Sonnet from Anthropic. A good developer leverages AI as an assistant - to accelerate routines and explore options, focusing on architecture and problem-solving. I'm basically a manager of AI now.
This website is a testament for AI-powered development approach. I've used AI extensively and it significantly sped up the process.
As a wise person once said, "If AI can replace a developer, it can replace us all." I firmly believe that ignoring AI is a mistake, but so is overestimating its current capabilities.
