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.
See also: Contractor, Freelancer.
What I am doing right now
I’m currently in Berlin, Germany, thinking about effects and the Principle of Least Privilege, 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:
- Design,develop and architecture for your next product, and help your team in building it.
- Prototype a new idea, documenting the process and assumptions along the way meticulously.
- Investigate slow parts of your product and help you figure out how to make it faster—or make it faster for you.
I have worked with a wide array of technologies and consider myself a generalist. My experience ranges from Lisp and Smalltalk to Python and Go, and from Postgres and Cisco switches to MongoDB and AWS. Of course, this also means that I’m not an expert in any one technology—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.
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.
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!
