Homer Reynolds – Full Stack Developer | Legacy Systems Specialist | Tech Consultant | Vending & E-Commerce Entrepreneur

I’m a senior-level Full Stack Software Developer and IT Consultant with 10+ years of hands-on experience delivering secure, scalable, and efficient solutions across diverse industries—including government, healthcare, e-commerce, and education.

From architecting complex LAMP-based applications to modernizing legacy mainframe systems (COBOL, SAS), I bring a unique blend of old-school reliability and modern tech agility. I've worked with federal agencies, including the Office of Inspector General and Naval Nuclear Laboratory, managing software development, debugging, automation, and database optimization. I am especially skilled at picking up existing/legacy codebases and transforming them into high-performance, maintainable systems.

Technically fluent in:

Languages & Frameworks: PHP (Laravel), JavaScript, Node.js, Python, SQL, Bash, HTML/CSS, COBOL, Assembler

Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, DB2

Systems: Linux Mint, Windows, LAMP stack

Dev Tools: Git, Docker, Web Scraping, Data Parsing, Regex, Debugging Utilities

Cybersecurity: Trained in secure coding principles and application hardening

Beyond development, I’m a problem-solver by nature—known for mentoring junior devs, speaking at Toastmasters, and bringing creative energy into every team. I also run side ventures including vending machine operations, Shopify e-commerce, and Amazon/eBay reselling—leveraging tech and automation for real-world efficiency.

I’m especially open to:

Short-term or long-term freelance coding projects

Legacy system support and modernization

QA testing and data parsing tasks

Writing technical documentation and user guides

Teaching/tutoring tech topics or business automation workflows

When you work with me, you're not just hiring a coder—you’re hiring someone who thinks like a business owner, communicates clearly, solves problems proactively, and always brings value.

Let’s build something solid together.

Work Terms

I offer flexible availability on most days and am committed to meeting client needs with reliability and professionalism. My general working hours are adaptable to your project timeline; however, I do not work on Wednesday evenings after 5:00 PM and I am off on Sundays.

Payment Terms:
I typically work in 4-hour payment increments. For short-term or hourly projects, I require a 24-hour notice for cancellation or postponement; otherwise, a 1-hour minimum fee will apply.
In special cases, I’m open to discussing barter trade arrangements if there is mutual value.

Communication Style:
Initial contact via Guru.com messaging is welcome, but I prefer to follow up with a phone call or video conference to clarify goals and ensure smooth collaboration. I prioritize clear, timely communication and strive to make every interaction productive and professional.

Let’s work together in a way that’s efficient, respectful, and results-driven.
