Hire Adrian Lang

Hello,

I’m Adrian Lang, and I’m a freelance software developer living in Berlin. In the last years, I focused on web development using PHP and JavaScript.

My style is inspired by functional programming. I like my code to be clean and non-repetitive. When doing JavaScript stuff, I tend to use jQuery (for client-side code) and Underscore.js (client- and server-side). A typical Node.js web application I write is based on Express and Jade.

I love free software. I use and promote Debian. My servers are self-administered, and I handle everything from Apache or nginx to Postfix and Dovecot. I believe in open standards and protocols and hope for a federated future. Free knowledge is just as important to me: I contributed to the German Wikipedia as an admin and author of honored articles.

In the last two years, my full-time job was heavily centered around DokuWiki; I became a core contributor and developed several plugins. Before that, in 2009, I wrote the library libomb for the free and federated microblogging platform StatusNet.

If you have a great project and find yourself in need for a PHP or JavaScript developer – please get in touch! Currently, I’d prefer to have exciting JavaScript tasks around Backbone.js or Node.js, but some serious PHP hacking could be nice, too.

Have a nice day,

Adrian Lang

Note that this web site is work in progress; there are still quite some descriptions missing, and I am not too happy with the way some things look either. Have fun, anyway.
