Freelance .NET developer
Freelance .NET developer for teams that need a senior now
For when you need a senior .NET developer and the job ad has been open for months. I join your repository, your tickets and your code review, take the parts that need experience, and leave the knowledge with you. No agency in between.

What I do in your team
The work that needs experience, in your code and by your rules, not somewhere on the side.
Blazor
Blazor applications from the first screen to production, the right render mode and fast large screens. Web Forms migration, one screen at a time.
- Blazor Server
- WebAssembly

Three ways to work together
From a few days a month to full time on a project. You always know who works on your code.
Why teams bring in a freelance .NET developer
Rarely because they need another pair of hands. Almost always because of one of these.
The job ad has been open for months
There is no senior .NET developer to hire, and when there is, they have a notice period. The project cannot wait that long, so someone has to step in now.
A deadline without people
The customer is waiting and the team is already full. A few months of senior help is the difference between on time and late.
A migration nobody on the team has done
Upgrading from .NET Framework or from .NET 8 needs someone who has done it before and knows where the traps are.
All the knowledge in one head
The only senior has left or is leaving. Someone has to take over the code, write down what they know and pass it on to the rest of the team.
The application is slow and nobody knows why
Users complain and the team guesses. Measuring, EF Core queries and indexes usually show the cause within the first few days.
How we start
The goal is a first merged pull request in the first week.
- 01
A 30-minute call
What you are building, where the team is stuck and what done looks like.
- 02
Access and a first task
Repository, tickets and environments. The first task is small but real.
- 03
Your rhythm
Your stand-ups, your ticketing tool, pull requests reviewed by your team.
- 04
Handover
Everything is documented and in your repository, so the knowledge stays with you when the work ends.
When it fits, and when it doesn’t
A good fit when
- +You have .NET code and a team, and need senior experience
- +Remote work suits you, with an occasional visit
- +You want the code and the knowledge to stay in your company
- +You need someone who knows .NET, Blazor and Azure together
Not a fit when
- −You need someone in the office five days a week
- −You need a team of ten by next month
- −The lowest hourly rate is the only criterion
- −Your system is not built on .NET
Stack
- C#
- .NET 10

Questions
With Vlado directly. ProCoding is a sole-trader studio, and the person you speak to on the first call is the person who writes the code.
Both are possible: a monthly block of days, or full time for the length of a project. On the call we say openly when we can start.
A business-to-business contract and one invoice a month. For business clients in other EU countries, invoices are issued under the reverse-charge rule.
You do, from day one. All work goes into your repository. NDA on request, and a data processing agreement where personal data is involved.
Yes. We can work behind you, in your process and under your name if you prefer, and you stay the client’s contact.
The day rate or the price of a fixed task is agreed after a free 30-minute call, once we know the scope and the duration.
