Jamie Rumbelow: Freelancer Extraordinaire

For the past few months I've been working full-time for a fantastic company with some fantastic people. VIA has empowered me and brought me satisfaction and happiness. But it's time to spread my wings and move on.

I've decided to go back to college and finish my education. I want to go to University, study and grow as a person. I realise that moving out so early on was a wrong choice. It wasn't a mistake; I'm very happy in Bath and I'm really enjoying my life. I just feel like I can do so much more, get so much further and grow so much more.

The problem is, I'm too late into the term to start back at college. The solution, thankfully, is simple. Take my gap year :)

So, I'm now looking for freelance/contract work, in any language - preferably PHP, Ruby or CoffeeScript - in any country. I'm a fast, able and independent developer. I love working with other people and can manage myself independently. I'm charismatic, friendly and energetic. Historically, I've specialised in CodeIgniter and ExpressionEngine development, but I'm happy to work with any other platforms. I'm willing to relocate anywhere in the world too for a few months - hell, I'd love it. I speak decent Spanish and am willing to invest time in learning any other languages.

I'm also looking for writing and speaking gigs. I want to use the next year to diversify and work on a range of different things, and I really enjoy engaging with the community and allowing my creative side to flourish.

Email me on jamie@jamierumbelow.net or telephone me on +44 (0)7956 363875. I can't wait to hear from you.
