Hire me¶

I am a job seeker. I am patiently looking for my future boss and employer. My preferred locations are Estonia and Belgium. Other countries are possible with a reasonable regulation regarding remote work.

But I have a special condition. I will not collaborate in any proprietary software product. “I will rather grow potatoes than write non-free software”, as I use to say. I fundamentally believe that software must be free.

My company Rumma & Ko OÜ is a proof that professional software business is possible without using vendor lock-in and proprietary licenses. We live from selling our services as the maintainer of the Lino framework. Lino is published under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL), the most protective Free Software license there is.

I have been working this way for more than twenty years, I am not going to stop it. My future employer needs to convince me that I can continue to co-operate with our existing customers and employees.

If you know a free software product that is better than Lino, I am open to consider replacing Lino by it and help you to migrate our customers to your product.

Here is my self-presentation:

• Developer skills: Linux, Python, Django, Sphinx, Git, React.

• Besides being a full-heart software developer I have long-term experience in accounting, team management, mentoring, sales agreements, website authoring. After all I am also CEO and one of the two owners of Rumma & Ko. I started employing other developers in 2015 (see our team page).
