Veit Heller—Technologist at Large

Nice to meet you! I’m Veit, a programmer from Berlin, and I’m a technologist at large.

Technologist at large [tek-ˈnä-lə-jist ət ˈlärj]

noun

one who is able to design, conceptualize, build, shape, or in any other way influence computer systems, not bound to any particular employer.

What I am doing right now

I’m currently in Berlin, Germany, thinking about tooling in static languages (specifically Carp), and prototyping ideas around that.

What I can do for you

I am available for consulting work. Here are a few examples of things that I could do for you:

Help you figure out what technologies are well-suited for your project, and a roadmap that makes sense for you.
Design and architect services, and help your team build it.
Prototype a new idea, documenting the process and assumptions along the way meticulously so you can take over without pain.
Mentor developers and lead by example, through honest and kind review and building.

I have worked with a wide array of technologies and companies and consider myself a generalist. Of course, this also means that I’m not an expert in any one field—the best way to know whether I’m the right person for your project is to ask me.

You can also take a look at my résumé or my Github profile if you’re especially curious.

What I charge

My rates are fixed and follow a simple, yet beautiful—at least in my eyes—scheme:

If your product is a closed source, proprietary solution, I charge 1,000€ per day.
If your product is open source, I charge 800€ per day, 100€ of which will be donated to a charitable organization of my choice.

If you have any questions about my rates or are unsure whether your product qualifies as “open source”, contact me!

How you can contact me

I love to hear from any- and everyone who wants to share something with me, and doubly so if I can help you in any way!

If you have any questions, comments, or want me to help your product succeed reach out to me! My PGP is available on this server.

Of course you can also contact me if you just want to have a chat! To understand what I can help you with and what I especially like hearing about, check out my open invitation!
