2. API design consultancy
3. Landing pages
I'm experienced with
HTML/Handlebars

SEEKING WORK: London, UK or Remote
I'm a backend, frontend and native mobile software engineer specialising in prototypes and small full-stack projects. My rates are reasonable and I'm willing to work remotely from my home city of London, UK.
I'll be __fully available in September 2014__ but until then I have time to take up small jobs on a part-time basis, such as:
1. Small web app prototypes
2. API design consultancy
3. Landing pages
I'm experienced with

I've got two projects that I'm trying to move forward at the mo:
1. SkiFree.js, my JavaScript port of the Windows classic game SkiFree. Trying to remove the jQuery dependency and flesh out all the features from the original game including additional NPCs. I am actually doing some active work on it every couple of weeks but not as much as I want! https://github.com/basicallydan/skifree.js
2. Interfake, a tool for creating on-the-fly JSON APIs. Really handy for front-end devs, mobile devs and anybody writing automated test suites which need APIs to hit. I'd like to add a way to generate collections in responses (i.e., an array in a response) and semi-random data. https://github.com/basicallydan/interfake
All contributions would be super helpful :)
