I'm Mark, I've over 20 years industry experience working with all sorts, from startups to household names to solo entrepreneurs. I live semi off-grid (with electricity and internet of course!) in my touring caravan, currently in South Wales.

Although I love coding, I understand that soft skills are essential. Communication: to help convert ideas from a person's head into something which can be structured as code, and to properly manage expectations. To prioritise rationally. To raise issues when they become significant, not leave them to the last minute and cause panic.

Although I prefer Linux, I'm comfortable with Windows/Android/MacOS/iOS and maintain at least 1 working device for each of those OSes (so on multi-platform projects I can test on the real thing).

I'm particularly into repairability and getting the most out of cheaper, lower-powered devices.

I'm looking for short-term, full-time projects, or longer part-time commitments (eg 1-2 days a week, few hours a month on retainer) but am open to other ideas.
