Description

Hello!
I'm a remote web developer and technical editor, setting my own work hours flexibly.
Back in Perigord Vert. I spent last year here living on a small farm. I'm a good cook (ran a vipassana kitchen for a year, also a distance runner and cyclist. I love time outside working and playing. I work hard, and I'm very good at chopping wood, light construction, technical tasks (https://sitetable.dev), and thinking :). I'm self-directed, respectful, and keep things clean and organized.
I'm available soon, dates flexible.
