John W. Fail
developer of arts and culture
Minust:
I'm a freelancer with extensive experience constructing digital platforms for various projects, most commonly in the arts and cultural sector. My own work interrogates the spaces where culture is created, seeking to expand or deconstruct traditional roles such as producer, performer and audience; this has been most notable done through various platforms I have designed to enable grassroots, decentralised culture. In terms of technical skills I have over a decade of experience working with Ruby on Rails, most successfully building backends and APIs for different clients, sometimes my own projects and sometimes as a freelancer. I'm also quite comfortable working with NodeJS and the various stacks and minstacks around that, and for the past year or so I have been immersed in VueJS as well. As a native English speaker with a master's in English literature, I have done extensive copyediting and proofreading work, as well as writing my own articles and essays of a critical nature. I'm currently looking for some new projects to work on which could be either quick hit small tasks or larger, longer-term ideas involving some degree of design.
