About Me

My name is Alexander McLin and I am a Deaf professional living in Baltimore. I write a lot of software in my daily job, during my personal time, and also contribute to open source projects. I also can be found at Upwork.

I am looking for freelancing gigs. If you have a software tool or complex database that is in need of updating and you're uncertain what to do and concerned about accidental loss of data, I have your back and I can help you!

I excel at software maintenance, working with existing systems to modify, extend, or replace components which is a cost effective way to accommodate new business needs. I also know how to do data management and database maintenance, modifying database designs or transfer data to new formats, while making sure customers' data is protected and confidential. I'm good at taking customers' ideas and needs, transform them into well organized documented specifications and prototypes that help guide customers towards an accurate representation of their vision.

I'm interested in database design and development, full-stack Web app development, making sure the front-end and back-ends integrate well together. I use computers to automate repetitive work via smartly designed scripts and utilities. I also love data analysis; exploring and finding answers to questions the data leads you to.
