I have been working as a mobile application developer for the last 3+ years. I have worked on a range of applications including video editing, image processing, drawing & annotations, document manipulation and simple web-service consuming client applications. I have worked both independently and with in a team, it has been always my first priority to deliver an application that is bug free on the agreed time and I always try to give my 100% for that.
My favorite programming language is Java and I have worked on Android and iOS mobile platforms. Prior to working as a mobile application software developer professionally, i used to work as a part time freelancer on Elance along with my University studies and I did pretty well on Elance with a 5.0 average rating.
Recently my interests are grown again into working as a freelancer and I have been doing research in finding the best freelancing platform available. My search ended when i stumble upon Toptal.com, it has everything that makes a freelancing website perfect. Here are some of my findings that I want to share with you about Toptal.
Elite Community of Freelancers:
Toptal has a community of best freelancers available for hire, they have a bullet-proof screening test to identify the best engineers. Only 3% of the applications among thousands are accepted from thousands of Applications received by Toptal.
Long-term Working opportunities:
With my experience I felt that It is hard to find long-term projects on other freelancing websites because most of the work posted there low paying and short-term. While on the other side of horizon there is Toptal, which promises to provide long-term projects with competitive salary. Once you get selected you also get to work with Toptal's prestigious clients such as J.P.Morgan, Airbnb, Zendesk, etc.
My interview process with Toptal has just begun and I would really like to get in and become one of the freelancers in their community. If you are a Software Developer/Engineer, then i would recommend you to do the same.
