Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (September 2025)

SEEKING WORK | Remote | UK

I'm a coder and an artist, guaranteed* 49th percentile in both fields. For certain roles this absolutely makes me an acceptable choice.

I live in a caravan, powered by the sun on a sheep farm in Wales. Consistently hitting 98% uptime for both power and connectivity --- the numbers don't lie.

I'm looking for projects, retainers or put me on your contacts list to cover your overspill:

* All kinds of web stuff

* Flutter for multi-platform apps

* Media processing + editing

* Documentation
