Summary
Ember Hext is a freelance web developer with three years of recent backend-focused experience building secure, high-performance web applications using TypeScript, JavaScript, and Rust. They have shipped production services with frameworks like Next.js, React, NestJS, and Actix, and have hands-on experience modernizing systems—migrating REST to GraphQL, upgrading AWS SDKs, and designing PostgreSQL schemas. Comfortable across the stack, Ember leverages containerization, Kubernetes, and multiple databases to deliver scalable, optimized solutions informed by a solid grasp of CPU and memory architecture. Past roles include building a transcoding backend at Floatplane and replatforming legacy apps to Rust at Day II, reflecting a pragmatic mix of systems- and application-level expertise. Based in Doylestown, PA, they combine a developer’s curiosity (self-styled “code witch” and cyber-creative persona) with strong communication and client-facing freelancing experience.
