Rahul is an experienced software architect who loves chocolate! 

He is happy to introduce himself to our community and tell about his journey as a freelancer. 

How did you become a freelancer?

I started my journey 11 years ago by reaching out to local companies. I showed my demo projects and started getting projects from them. I was also a co-founder of one startup with my friend, but after 4 years I stepped down and started freelancing again. 

What project are you working on now with Teamway?

I am working with a web hosting solutions company. I work on the back-end and the front-end. So I am kind of a full stack developer in this project 

What’s your field of expertise?

I call myself a jack of all trades, master of none. You put me anywhere and I’ll do it. But my main interest is software architecture. 

Why did you choose Teamway?

I stumbled upon Teamway and applied last year when I was looking for tech freelancing platforms. I did some demo projects and tests and had a talk with the team. I really liked the process and so I chose to join.

Fun fact about yourself?

I am a chocolate collector. When I was managing a team of 80 people, I used to ask them for a bribe - small chocolate when somebody would come to me to solve problems. So, behind my desk there was a big pile of chocolate.
