Freelance Developer

When I took freelancing 12 years back (yes, 2013), which was then looked odd amongst the regular day job or office goers. It was even felt that I am not that IT guy who can manage myself in the office environment and something is there which doesnt suite to work in an office. Even, I have been booed that I will be a big failure as several of my friends failed doing freelance. Well, I took it up as a challenge as it gives me immense pleasure to learn along the way working with live projects, dealing with strategies, dealing with clients, handling issues, implementing the logics, delivering the codes, testing and implementing the product into the client's environment. When, I learnt about SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) in my computer classes, I wanted to someday handle and experience it first hand. Well here I am, now I have worked in each of the process, understood, learnt (not the easy way) the process.

SDLC Process: I have got the requirements from the clients, Analyzed, Designed, Coded/Implementation, Tested, and Deployed.

I have given some hope to all my ex-peers, friends, etc., inspite am a family man, freelance could well be possible and will work out for anyone, who does or takes his/her job sincerely and do it with satisfaction. If there isnt either one of them, then its definitely going to be a big failure, easily!

I have worked with the top 2 freelance companies, both for 5+ years and have done over 400 projects/contracts with them. Yes, Elance and Upwork (formerly oDesk), which is now merged together.

I would still like to explore more challenges and work with the best, and have heard from many that Toptal Web Freelancers Group is there are the very top now, and is considering only Top Freelancers in the market to register thru screening process.

Now, thats a challenge for me to prove that I am amongst one of the top/best Freelance Developers around, and to work with top IT companies, would give me immense pleasure to work on and interesting as well.

It would be a privileage to join Toptal and continue my next Freelance journey upahead.

My screening process is underway now at Toptal. Hopefully, will be working with the best amongst soon.
