Summary
Harland Hauger is an experienced full-stack web developer and independent contractor based in Portland, Oregon, with 11 years in software and a strong foundation in Ruby on Rails and Python/Django. He brings startup-hardened experience building data visualizations (Alchemy.JS with D3 and Neo4j), APIs, and responsive sites from roles at Graph Alchemist, Dark Horse Comics, and small agencies.
