About Ewald Horn

My most enjoyable engagements by far have been where I augmented teams by bringing skills and expertise they lacked to the table. Working with in-house teams as an external consultant can be a rewarding experience for all parties involved as it allows for the transfer of knowledge while alleviating pressure on the team. I'm really grateful for the friendships I've formed while working in this capacity with teams across many time zones.

As a developer, I tend to focus on building APIs and backend services used by other systems. I'm all about a collaborative approach and insist on the client being involved in the entire process, from start to finish. I'm comfortable finding the right technology to solve whatever business challenge I'm working on, though I do have a strong bias towards things like Go (Golang) and JavaScript.

I excel at building the esoteric, the bespoke and the downright crazy stuff. If you are a bit of a maverick, bucking the trend, we should get along swimmingly! Adding business value is at the core of what I do, and I'm quick to say no to a project when I see it does not move the business forward in a meaningful way.

All my work is done via remote technologies like Slack, Zoom, Trello and the cloud. I'd be happy to have a video call with you to see if there's synergy in our approaches and ways of working.
