I have over 20 years experience with web development and other computer-related services. Below are some of the services I can offer:
Web development - I specialize in custom-coded solutions developed here in the Bay Area, CA. ABSOLUTELY NO offshored development, poor/sloppy/unnecessary CMS usage, lazy coding (e.g., using hovers for menus designed to run on touch devices), and the like. Custom-coded solutions run much quicker, require fewer resources (e.g., resulting in fast and response sites even with shared hosting), and minimize issues with existing plugins/libraries. I code for compatibility with most major devices (e.g., Windows and Apple desktops, Chromebooks, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc.) and types of inputs (e.g., mouse, touchscreen, stylus, etc. - often separate code for mouse and pointer events) unlike the vast majority of sites out there today. I can also help with a smaller projects on an existing site (e.g., menu or UI upgrades to support a wider variety of devices and inputs, improving MySQL/MariaDB performance related to queries and/or database/table design, etc.).
API data access - APIs are the preferred way to access data if they are available. That said, API data access is not without problems. Issues often arise around accessing the data (e.g., how to access it, dealing with memory or other limitations of your server, etc.) and processing the output. User interfaces (front ends) also make submitting queries and viewing the results easier. I can help with all of these.
Web scraping - Need data from websites? Having trouble getting data from sites that use AJAX? I code and perform the scraping for you. You choose which data is scraped, how it is organized, and how it is output (e.g., in files such as .txt, .csv, .xlsx, .docx, .pdf, etc.). Turnaround times within a day or less (in some cases - depends on my workload and the scope of the project).
Data processing - Tired of Excel running for long periods and/or crashing? Tired of using workarounds for Excel's inherent limitations (e.g., 16,384 columns and 1,048,576 rows)? Having trouble with character encoding caused by Excel? I can handle this processing for you and/or code a custom web-implemented solution that can perform the processing in seconds rather than minutes with Excel.
Excel projects - I can provide assistance with Excel projects or perform the work for you.
Let me know how I can help. All inquiries, and any work performed, is 100% confidential.
NOTE: To help separate the serious responses from the bot/non-serious, please briefly describe the project or your issue and I will respond promptly.
