I am a Northwestern University educated freelance full stack developer with 13 years of professional experience. Recently I’ve worked as director of engineering for a multimillion dollar company that serviced hundreds of thousands of users a day. As a result of my work, my clients have garnered thousands of new users, taken their industries by storm, improved internal employee satisfaction, and launched with investor capital based on MVPs I built.
Quality code is my passion. I write DRY, scalable, maintainable, thoroughly tested, performant code. I have extensive experience working with React, Ruby on Rails, SQL, MySQL, Postgres, Javascript, JQuery, HTML, HAML, SCSS, CSS, and Git, GraphQL, and Apollo. I'm well versed in integrating applications with any needed third party APIs such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Twilio, or Stripe. And I have dev ops experience deploying and maintaining applications on Heroku, AWS, and Digital Ocean.
When working on a complex web application, communication is key. I pair with my clients to understand their long term goals and develop the design and features they need to attract the users they want. I am absolutely one of the best valued Rails developers you will find working freelance and I have a host of happy clients with positive recommendations to prove it.
"Will is a talented developer that takes the appropriate time to fully analyze, develop, and test solid application solutions while also considering the balance between time, effort and cost to deliver. He's become a fully integrated part of our team, goes above and beyond to ensure reliability of an app, and is completely dedicated to the success of his clients."
-- Criss, CEO of Propel
"Will worked with us on with number of projects. His ability to communicate, to empathize with the needs of the client, and his quality of code, assisted with success of each project. I would not hesitate to hire Will again."
-- Glen, CTO of ChatterHigh
"The most important part of any project is being able to communicate your requirements and know that your development team understands them. The Armont team is personable and they are effective verbal communicators."
-- Zach, Software Project Manager at Omron
“The team at Armont Development not only did a great job on the re-design of our web site, they made our life a lot easier by suggesting and implementing several changes that greatly enhanced the site functionality. I was very impressed with their professionalism, creativity and problem solving skills. The team members are a pleasure to work with and we look forward to working with them again on future projects.”

"Wayne is not only skilled at directing a software product from an architectural standpoint, he also is able to understand it a micro level. As a result, he usually has a very complete grasp of any code he works with for any significant amount of time, whether it's something he's designed or something others have designed." -- Jim K
"I experienced Wayne as a highly skilled and motivated software engineer, with a fast and analytical mind. His expertise and creativity always made him the default technical lead of the team. I highly recommend him." -- J. Ovesen
With the right software engineer, your project can be done right the first time. When the strongest developers are 10x better than the weakest, working with someone with the lowest hourly could be more expensive than working with a strong engineer with a higher rate!
I have been writing software for 30 years, from web, mobile, and desktop apps to firmware written in assembly. I understand software development at its core and can therefore handle your project expertly. In addition, I have been leading software development teams for 2 decades so I can help you manage a team if that is what you are looking for.
On the mobile app side, I wrote the first few versions iOS and Android apps for Sound World Solutions, and internal tools in Xamarin and Swift. I also wrote and maintained an inventory management app that used barcode and RFID scanners in Xamarin.
On the desktop side, I was the technical lead for the fitting software at GN Resound in the early 2000s. Recently, I have written factory test software and a lot of internal tools in C#/WPF. I have also written desktop software in Java for cross platform compatibility.
On the firmware side, I have written the software on a hearing aid on 2 different chipsets and 2 different DSPs. These were written in C and assembly.
For web apps, I have worked on e-commerce sites for Sound World Solutions and, too many moons ago, on J2EE and ASP. Currently, I am working on a project in Laravel.
As you can see, I can help you with your project! I am efficient and deliver quality code. Please get in touch if you would like me to join your team.
