Workflow/time management consult

10


10 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Jun 14, 2017

Progress on a product isn't going as fast as you'd hoped? Or maybe just a personal project? I can sit down with you and we can figure out strategies, deliverables, and a timetable to keep you on track.

If you want something more thorough, we can check-in regularly to review progress and adjust the plan until we make one that really works well for you over a longer period of time.

**Notes**
This is NOT a personal assistant service. My goal is to get you to be self-sufficient. I won't suggest improvements on your art or business model like a nosy neighbor and I DEFINITELY won't be nagging you like a mom :) (But if you just want a brainstorming session, see my other service! https://simbi.com/shamseen-rahman/brainstorming-bounce-ideas-off-me)

I'll help you plan, but ultimately, I want to "teach a man to fish."

Shamseen was incredibly patient with my lack of coding/webdev lingo and background knowledge. Her intelligent questions helped me to formulate exactly... what I wanted from the project. I look forward to working more with Shamseen. show more

About Shamseen Rahman

Heyooo I'm currently studying biomedical engineering at Boston University. Heh, I actually left my job as a software engineer to follow my interests. I've founded Firefly, a totally infant nonp...rofit organization working to develop a program of after-school clubs in disadvantaged neighborhoods to do cool things from dance to robotics to synthetic biology! But I have 0 idea how to run a business--let a lone a non-profit--so I came here to get some help with that ===== I'm pretty good with helping organize workflow for a team or project, it's what I've done as an engineer and as an intern for an Educational Development institution in Bangladesh. I've also acted as a Business Analyst and lead for adding a feature to software I was hired to work on. ===== I've just recently left my position as a software engineer. I still want to keep on with mobile and software development but more on my own pace, compared to a 9-5 job. Ya feel? I have professional experience with building websites and enterprise-level business-facing software/web apps. The GUI was in AngularJS, server and business logic in C# and ASP.NET, and a little bit of database design/upkeep with NoSQL. I was also part Business Analyst (cross-functional team) and sat with the clients to get the requirements and lead the addition of a new feature (but also code some parts because.. well my job description.) ===== As for mobile app development, I've done them for school projects and whatnot. I've only used the Xamarin.Forms framework (self-taught), which lets you build out Android, iOS, and Windows apps all at once. So I code it in C# and the designs in XAML, and the framework compiles and renders into that operating system's native platforms! If you want to read up on it: https://www.xamarin.com/forms https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/#Is_Xamarin.Forms_right_for_your_project ===== Hobbies: ANIMALS! Love em :) Staying tight with all my family all the time Rock climbing, kayaking, hiking (I'm still super slow) Training for a triathlon (not gonna join one any time soon, haha) Programming fun lil projects Playing violin Watching Bob's Burgers and Gotham and Steven Universe Nuanced debates/discussions with people with which I agree and/or disagree Consuming stories (in any form: novels, comics, cartoons, movies, oral storytelling, plays) Beer Finding cool underground artsy things everywhere I live/visit Nostalgia gaming (N64, Gamecube, Gameboy) Live performances (bands, theatre, dance, orchestra - like ANYTHING)show more
